   Boxing Esq. Podcast #78 - Adam Abramowitz

   It was a pleasure to have back on the pod - writer from The Ring and the Saturday Night Boxing blog - Adam Abramowitz. Adam and I recapped Saturday Night’s Ring IV - Night of Champions card - going in depth on Abdullah Mason’s hard fought win over Sam Noakes, Bam Rodriguez’s masterclass KO over Puma Martinez, Devin Haney’s underwhelming win over Brian Norman and David Benavidez domination of Anthony Yarde. We also got into what’s next for the victors. We also talked about the state of PPV in the sport and how just in the last few years there have been many fluctuations in pricing and differing approaches by promoters and networks. We discussed DAZN’s plan for at least 12 PPVs in 2026 and we went through our lists of 12 potential PPVs (or fewer) that we thought were worthy of the PPV designation in 2026. It was a fun and interesting one - hope you enjoy.

   Boxing Esq. Podcast #77 - Larry Goldberg

   My guest this episode is local promoter Larry Goldberg, of Boxing Insider Promotions. Larry has a show coming up on Friday at the Tropicana in Atlantic City featuring unbeaten junior middleweight Justin Figueroa in the main event with Heavyweight contender Otto Wallin returning in the co-feature. We talked about how Larry started out as an online journalist, forming one of the first boxing websites covering the sport - boxinginsider.com, and how he’s made the transition from journalism to promoter. We also discussed the trials and tribulations of being a club promoter in the NYC area. How the costs of doing shows (including the most expensive insurance in the nation) makes things very difficult. Larry also spoke about his acceptance of being capped at the club level and maybe becoming a feeder promoter for what he believes will be the Zuffa Boxing/TKO takeover of boxing. It was an interesting one - hope you enjoy.

[…] For me and you, the diehard fan, we want to know about you know, the David Lopez or the Haven Brady. I'm, you know, naming two people who are signed with OTX who are now in different promotions. But we want to know about that level of fighter before. The diamond in the rough kind of guys. Yeah, who really signed with the big promoter. Yeah, 100%. We want to know about those guys before they hit the main stage. And then it's also incredibly important for a casual to, you know, kind of catch wind of fighters like that because they start to feel like, Remember when you heard a song, you heard a rock band, and you're like, oh man, I remember when it was just the you know, they were, they were my band and now it's Metallica, you know, whatever it is you want, you want a casual fan to feel that way about a young fighter that brings them into the sport and introduces them to the sport and makes them watch the sport more broadly.
