I haven't had an active Netflix account for a few years, but got suckered back in (literally signed back up during the brutal womens bout) 😅 at least I can offset it by finally stopping my WWE Network payment given that's now basically going to Netflix!

Was a disappointing fight, but not unexpected. Put a couple of cheeky fivers for Tyson to win in first 60s/first round on the offchance he would pull out an early big hit, but alas not to be. If he wasn't gonna floor Jake with a big hook, I'm at least glad he didn't get knocked down himself. Fight in the end was a little bit sad, but not as sad as if he had been left laying on the floor.
 
Anyone watch the Usyk vs Fury rematch?

A different fight to the first one which had some swings in momentum. Fury thought a different fight instead of getting backed up.

After the fight Daniel Dubois came in to try and hype a rematch. I can understand the thinking as it's a loss he can avenge and also a chance to be the undisputed champion. The timing is a bit off though as he needs to get through Parker first. It would have made more sense if he didn't have the Parker fight booked or had the Parker fight already.

Dubois vs Parker will be an interesting fight. Both have turned their careers around with good wins. Dubois with some high profile knockouts. The first two Miller and Hrgovic both took him deep into the fight and gassed. A good opportunity for Parker if he can survive the later rounds.

I’m loving the new version of Parker. Looks very hungry
 
I wonder if the Saudi's are making money off these events or if it is just sink money in to promote the region.

The fighter pay has increased to get these big fights/cards made. They have to pay the promoters. They are likely paying all of the boxing personalities and celebrities to come across plus promotion.

I am not sure what cut of the PPV DAZN takes. Traditionally the PPV company takes about 50%.

Then the real puzzling one after 24 hours Turki Alalshikh ends up putting the full fight up on YouTube. Sure, after 20 hours on YouTube it has 500k views but surely the ad revenue wouldn't compare to the PPV buys. I can understand putting it up on YouTube at some point and getting money off it instead of it stored in archives. Having them up so soon means if you can live with not seeing it live and can avoid spoilers you can watch it later for free.
 
I doubt anything will come of this and it will just be written off as frustration after losing. He is also close with Turki Alalshikh.

"You get nothing in these countries". I can understand the frustration he had after the Wilder draw in their first fight and thinking the Americans wanted an American champion.

This fight was on neutral ground. Usyk hasn't thought on home soil since 2015. He has beaten champions in their own country.
