Canelo vs Crawford live on Netflix

Well, we dont have to pay.

Just worry about the buffering issues...

I wonder what Netflix shelled out for this.

 

LESS Than They Did for Tyson-Jake Paul, REED Imagines...The BULK of This Bill is On Turki's Dime, He Just Needed a Promoter (Dana White) and a Network...

Who Commentated the Tyson-Jake Paul Card???...



REED

 

Would this do a better number than 108 million viewers which is what Tyson-Paul got

 

Sadly, No...

If Tyson-Paul Did 108mil, Canelo vs Bud Does 75mil TOPS...Jake Paul is More MAINSTREAM Than Canelo or Bud and Tyson is Tyson...No Shade on Canelo or Bud, They're Just Not as "BIG"...



REED

 

Speaking of Tyson, Everytime REED Sees Footage of Manny Pacquiao Shadowboxing, it Reminds REED of the Mike Tyson Mitt Videos, Where he Looked Vintage, Kevin Rooney Numbering System TYSON...

Only to Literally STUMBLE his 58 Year Ol' Ass to the Ring, vs Jake Paul....

Manny's Only 46 or Whatever, But That's Old AF for an Undersized Welterweight vs a 30 Year Old World Class Level Guy...But Back to Canelo vs. Bud...

I hope it does well for the sport's sake. This is the closest thing to having boxing on TV.

 

Good, my most anticipated Canelo fight since the 1st GGG fight.

 

In the summer of 2016, the Thurman-Porter unification fight was live on network TV (CBS or NBC.) There had been an effort to bring boxing back to free TV for about a decade. I don't know what happened but those days are gone.

 

What happened was Alan haymon was buying timeslots on the networks with other people's money. He blew through all these poor saps $ who invested with some hedge fund, waddell reed. No recoup on their investment

No type of promotion to have good live gates. Putting fighters in random cities they had no ties too. For most of the early fights there weren't even commercials

 

What a genius!

 

Great news. Glad we don’t have to pay for it. Just hope they figure out how to fix the buffering issue. And also make the undercard worthwhile.

 

Little hope of that.

 

Its Netflix, so we'll be lucky if they dont swap out Canelo and Crawford for two gay, disabled Black women and bill the card as: "Girl Bosses".

 

I'll watch it

 

Netflix is fucking awful though.....

 

I used to have it but that's when Netflix really didn't enforce sharing password and such. Never really missed it when it was gone.

Being i was never actually a customer, i might sign up for a free trial in September being the fight is no extra cost.

 

Netflix is shit at producing movies, and mediocre at producing series... they are the best at documentaries though, I'll give them that.

 

I enjoyed Mindhunter but for whatever reason it wasn't renewed.

 

their movies either are good concepts with poor execution or they start out good but 40 minutes into it they fuck it up….

 

Netflix doesn't have shit

 

how does this work financially for the fighters?

 

The guys go out and fight each other and in return Netflix pays them money for it.

 

Plot twist: Canelo does his ringwalk is just about to climb through the ropes, and ICE grabs him and takes him away.

 

Right...

Today's Boxing Climate Almost Seems FINE w/"Only Missing a COUPLE Rounds" of a Streamed Fight....

It would be funnier if they it did while he was on the way to winning.

 

If i was part of the announcing crew i would make a point of repeatedly talking about how Crawford made way more money than Floyd Mayweather.

Rarely even talk about what's happening in the ring. "Nice jab, but anyway did you hear how much TC got paid for this? Wow! Way way more than Mayweather."

 

Have Crawford the cars?
