He said working with the BBC has given Boxxer \u201ca new lease of life in the sense that we are trusted, and we\u2019re able to make the decisions we want. And, look, we&#8217;ve been waiting for it. For us, the BBC was the holy grail to build stars, and now with DAZN on board, with them both sort of accommodating each other as a phenomenal platform, the first two fights performed extremely well. I think Frazer Clarke-Jeamie TKV did pretty much a million viewers on that night. And then Callum Simpson against Troy Williamson did, I think, over three times what an entertainment show does in that slot. So that\u2019s the power of boxing. That\u2019s the opportunity that it has. So it\u2019s early days because they are a machine. You\u2019re working with a public broadcaster. They\u2019re an oil tanker, and it takes time. But as they slowly come into vision, it is a beast, and I think it\u2019s going to become a very, very powerful platform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And Shalom is working with the BBC, of course, but also with DAZN.
