I do think it's suffering from not having a top promoter like Top Rank or Golden Boy to hype it to what it should be, doesn't take away from how good a match up it is though. I think it's probably gonna be quite a "boring" fight to the casual viewer but seeing two elite guys in their prime having a chess match almost is some of the best boxing you get imo. It's great that it's between two guys I like as well, will be rooting for Kova but Ward has always seemed like a sound guy minus the inactivity.
Aye boxnation is going to become part of the bt package, but you'll still be able to subscribe to boxnation only if you don't want bt in full. With a planned 30 shows next year and rumours that the deal is for over £100 million it'll be interesting to see who Warren can attract. You've got Haye, Groves, Frampton not tied to Sky, Eubank as well but Warren said he'd never work with him again. Selby and Degale seem to be leaving Hearn as well.
