You have to hand it to Al Haymon here, he’s pulled out all the stops for this big end of year show ahead of a reported new Fox budget set to kick in just before the end of the year.
While many have spoken about the demise of pay per view boxing in America it will be interesting to see however what Haymon’s new non pay per view Fox deal includes outside of just free television and cross promotion on Fox.
Expect it to surely have some streaming element too.
