Nick Khan Exposes Boxing’s Problem With Broadcasters

Zuffa Boxing executive Nick Khan stated that major U.S. broadcasters pulled back from boxing due to delays in promotional decision-making. Speaking on The Varsity with John Ourand, Khan revealed that network executives frequently complained that basic decisions that should take two hours often took two weeks, leaving broadcasters without straightforward answers from their promotional partners.

According to Khan, this administrative uncertainty made scheduling events difficult for television networks, particularly when compared to other sports with reliable timelines. Khan indicated that Zuffa aims to resolve these operational issues by offering broadcast partners a more dependable path to organize and deliver boxing events.
