    I'm looking forward to GGG Vs Murata this weekend. The fight is in Japan so it starts around 1pm in the UK. Though he's entered his 40s, for me he's up there with Hagler as the greatest middleweight ever.

    People only care about the Main Event. Certainly want to see how David Adeleye is progressing.

    I like sitting down an enjoying the whole event. DAZN are the only ones that do good undercards anymore.

    Do what you like but I'm buying the Fury vs Whyte fight. Dazn won't be here next year, they are struggling I heard.

    Are you working for BT or something? You don't have to take it personally.

    Facts, there's no need to be bitter about it. BT & Sky are way ahead of Dazn. Recently Dazn reported a $1.3 Billion in losses so Blavatnik pumped $4.3 Billion into the company. Like I said they won't be here next year.

    I'm not talking about finances, I'm talking about the quality of the fight cards.

    Sky & BT have Premier League football, Champions League, SPL, F1, etc, which are bigger draws.

    Dazn failed to buy BT, Dazn boxing has been failing that's one of reasons why Blavatnik injected $4.3 Billion.
    Also Dazn told some porky pies about not or never having a PPV platform (Edward especially)

    The Benn fight card coming up isn't that great and Taylor vs Serrano card is shocking.

    People are paying to see Fury vs Whyte April 23rd - some will want to see how Tommy Fury is doing i.e his Love Island followers, which is good.. in a way. Others want to see David Adeleye and his progression. Question is will Tooney turn up (aj) lol. 90,000 capacity crowd is expected at Wembley Stadium.

    How is the Taylor Vs Serrano card shocking? Liam Smith and Yafai are by far bigger draws than * Adeleye. Tommy Fury is a joke fighter let's be honest!

    The only conclusion that I can come to is that you are actually Frank Warren.

    World level. I'll be annoyed if he goes for Khan next, want him to challenge himself.

    Benn looks promising, hope he doesn't take daft Brook or Khan fights.

    He ain't a kid now at 25, but he is being managed to win a title. I've not got a dug in the fight so fair play...but I'm not convinced yet.

    Terrible undercard but the main event is huge.

    Can't believe Fury has come in weighing less than Whyte, is he looking to outbox him? Like @McChiellini.. said I'd have expected him to go for the KO
