    Are we in an age where boxing is going to make a comeback because of Netflix? After HBO stopped showing fights it seems people lost interest. I was told people with Netflix didn’t even care about the Canelo vs Crawford fight. MMA may have taken over, and we may not get boxing back to where it was.

    UFC is getting streaming money...just like the WWE, but the PPV are not doing that hot, they have very few big time names or fights to be made...

    Jones vs Aspinall is the fight the fans want to see and it's not happening.....and to a lesser degree Jones vs Pereira.

    They currently don't have a Chuck Liddell, Rousey, Lesner or McGregor that can sell ppvs....

    Yeah Pereira is probably the bigger fight $$$, but it will be an easy fight for Jones.

    Jones is terrified of Aspinall.....$30 million is not enough...

    Aspinall is heavily overrated. Just slings with his chin in the air but is more explosive than those shitty heavyweights and lands. Was on his way to getting schooled by Gane I thought. Quitter mentality
