The boxing situation is a strange one. AJ has another fight on Sky Sports and DAZN claim they aren’t going to operate a pay per view channel (although for now BT do).

While Fury fights on BT Frank always speaks in quite vague terms about this as if BT don’t have exclusive rights as such, but perhaps have the opportunity to match another broadcaster.

Both boxers however might find they can get a bit more money for themselves aligning to the same network for 4 fights as there will be an inevitable rematch and the prospect of a “trilogy” depending on the results of the first two. It’s also hard to see, given the ability to promote it constantly on SSN, how that wouldn’t be pay per view on Sky if both boxers want to maximise income.

DAZN despite “deep pockets” had to renege on their Canelo deal and after fighting some slabs of meat for fun he’s now fighting Caleb Plant on Showtime in the states in his biggest fight since Golovkin in 2018.
