Promotions of the highest rank and ESPN reportedly go in separate ways

In what is probably not a surprise, it is not to the top -class promotion for anyone and ESPN, apparently separate ways when their partnership is legally ended this summer. While ESPN certainly put great matches there, the highest rank seemed to be pushed to the side by UFC. In a world where boxing is now all over the world by tensioning its muscles, the most critical American sports network has clearly lost interest in sweet science. Perhaps, if the highest rank had huge names, such as Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia in their stable things, could work differently. Although he has known names, such as Nayya Inoue, the highest rank does not seem much on the road to the crossover.

Of course, nothing is official yet, so you never know, but the report here – from the ring, first, and then others – seems to be widely accepted. In fact, it has never been a great partnership. Yes, in recent years there have been great fights, including more than one with the participation of Vasyl Lomachenko, but often combat cards did not start even tardy on Saturday evenings, on the east coast. Simply put, there were and there are better places for the highest rank. After all, the Bob Arum Helmed organization remains one of the most powerful boxing forces.

Considering this, sport certainly goes through a strange time that could take it exponentially or hurt if/when Saudi money ends. However, the Saudis deserve to be considered to be provided by the delivery of one main card on the other (I hope that the trend will continue). Indeed, he can replace Las Vegas as the heart and soul of this sport. However, this is not only intensive Saudi interest that change things into the head. In general, it is now a stream sport, not a television.

Not that streaming makes such a substantial difference. After all, a broadcast fight is a transmitting fight. Still, there are signs that the venerable way of doing things is over. It can be a good or bad thing again. Only time will show. In the meantime, there are many good fights to enjoy … Only you will not be able to watch them on ESPN soon. In this way, it is worth remembering that boxing turned out to be the most pliant sport from a decade after a decade until the 19th century.

There is no reason to think that the trend will not be continued.
