Boxing overrun forces ESPN to start Blazers-Nuggets on ESPN2 There s not much ESPN could have done here, to be honest.
ESPN had a huge day of sports across their family of networks.
The NBA playoffs, PGA Championship, UFC, boxing, the NCAA softball tournament, Monaco F1 qualifying, and more all filled up the schedule across linear and digital channels alike. That’s obviously a good thing! This is a great time on the sports calendar. The only downside, of course, is that sometimes a packed schedule means certain events might run into other events.
That’s exactly what happened tonight, and it forced ESPN to bump half the first quarter of an NBA playoff game to ESPN2. It’s not necessarily unusual that would happen; during college basketball season, tickers are constantly running to let viewers know where the game they tuned in for is actually airing (usually while Indiana is losing a Big Ten road game in place of what everyone actually wants to see.)
World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Tyson Fury has signed a contract to fight American Deontay Wilder for a third time in Las Vegas on July 24, Top Rank Boxing said on Sunday.
