According to Fat Boy Dan's article this morning Hearn offered 1 fight big money on DAZN with no 3 fight contract and they still turned it down.

Hearn said he has made Mayweather Promotions an offer to co-promote Davis for three fights, which he claims would pay Davis by far his biggest purses. Hearn said that when Mayweather Promotions declined, he offered a one-fight deal for Davis for career-best money to fight on one of his DAZN-streamed cards against Farmer or any other opponent they could agree on. He was rebuffed.
"I went back and said, 'Look, if you don't want to do a three-fight deal with me, do a one-fight deal.' The money is three times more than he's making at the moment," said Hearn, the No. 1 promoter in the United Kingdom. "America is a strange market. If that happened in the U.K. and the kid turned around and went, 'I want to take it,' you have no choice. In the U.S., the promoters seem to have much more power to be able to say, 'No, I'm not letting you' or 'You're not allowed to.' That's crazy. It might not suit Mayweather Promotions to upset their partner that will affect their other business by taking this deal. But how is that acting in the best interest of the fighter?
"The fighter is on social media all day going, 'I can't get a date, I'm so unhappy. I boxed once this year.' He's probably the best young talent in the sport. He's boxed once this year. He's f---ing brilliant. They came straight back and said we're not interested."
Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe could not be reached for comment.
“If he starve he starve” - Floyd in his Ivan Drago voice
Floyd must think that Tank don’t deserve to eat...or he don’t want nobody else taking credit for the successes of his fighters...I can’t call it :dunno:
Hearn Stan’s always lie lmao

He’s fighting for a vacant title and he’s fought twice a year just like the Charlos lol you mean fighting once a year like Kell Brook?
Brook would have fought more but he pulled out of a fight injured. I’m not a Stan and I’m not lying. I watched an interview the other day and he said James DeGale and his people approached him about promoting a comeback fight in London but Hearn said he couldn’t pay him what he wanted because it wouldn’t sell so he went to warren instead.

I’m sure Danny Jacobs is next to bounce. Nobody even knows who he is anymore Eddie had him doing press conferences in restaurants lmao
DeGale came back but Eddie Hearn couldn't offer him what he wanted as he had invested in other super middleweights.
And what's DeGale doing now? He had to drop his damn title to avoid the mandatory because he can't even make good money defending it. Good move, James!
You got used by Haymon and now you are begging to use the Eubank name for a PPV payday. Dumbass.
Hearn Stan’s always lie lmao

Brook had a 2nd fight in July against Cook he pulled out injured from, and hes fighting in December
How did that turn out? Degale ended up asking Eddie to promote him again and he had to say no. Also, time has told us it was wise to invest his efforts into smith over degale.
As for Jacobs he could be a world champ come Saturday so things could be a lot worse. He could be fighting once a year under the pbc banner

So I guess AJ didn't want the 50 mil...just kidding folks!
It is THEIR FIGHTER who THEY DISCOVERED and who THEY MADE FAMOUS! They don't have to do a damn thing, Tank need to get himself together not jump to another Promoter who will give him the Freedom to Spin even more out of control. Right now he is FAT and out of Shape and a long way from fight weight, Promotion is the last of his issues right now. Losing your Belt on the Scale is a serious Red Flag and shows a serious lack of Discipline
There's no surprise there with the Ebony God, Tevin "DongSquad" Farmer, as an opponent. Davis can keep trying to hide but nobody can stay out of the sight of Tevin's eyes forever.
eyes lol...I see what you did there :beerchug:
Good move by Floyd. Tevin turned down the fight then waited until he signed with Hearn to call him out. Promote your own guys and find your own talent in the U.K. lol at Co-promote. Floyd should slap dude next time he sees him he getting to disrespectful
Dude you have like 5 posts in this thread and each of them are biased as hell.
What is the good move? Keeping your fighter inactive and unhappy?
Davis is constantly complaining about not fighting.
Giving davis his highest payday without obligations against a beatable fighter in farmer is disrespectful?
Then your argument with whyte. It was ducking, but he backed it up by fighting a former champion who was young and still dangerous. Add to that that the fight was on ppv and sold 400k units. It's not like he turned down pulev and fought arreola or some garbage fighter.
If you had made a poll beforehand, im pretty certain that people would
have favoured a parker fight instead of pulev, who hasnt done anything in years.
Grow up and stop being so biased.
Saying what?
Canelo just went to DAZN literally last week and Andrade not long ago.
Ggg will most likely end up at DAZN also. So he can either go to PBC for the one fight with Charlo for nothing or stay with Hearn and fight on DAZN in unification fights. Pretty easy choice there
Don’t play stupid. Once he signed with Hearn there was a threads about how Hearn is going to get him Canelo and GGG when they were all on HBO. Don’t act like you don’t remember. And Canelo said he plans on staying at 168 so there will be no unification

Just like Hearn is holding Kell Brook back only one fight in 2018 just like Tank. Gervonta was arrested 3 times he knows why he’s not fighting
Kell brook got injured and pulled out of a fight a couple months back. Can’t blame Hearn for that.

Lmaooooo people been saying that ever since he signed with Eddie still no Canelo or GGG fight. Last 3 fights against c level fighters. Who got him his first fight with GGG? Is his next fight for a vacant title? Maybe that’ll help him if he gets the title because he has became absolutely irrelevant. Nobody mentions him anymore

Yeah I'm sure he will leave now with potential fights against Canelo or Andrade on the horizon should he win saturday.

It’s not a TV station it’s an app with less than 300k subscribers.
The fight can be on showtime more ratings. Why does it have to be on DAZN?
Because money.

Hearn is getting desperate he needs a big name fighter and Floyd is not going to help him with it. Tell him to promote Daniel Jacobs since no one even talks about him anymore lol signed that man to hbo when he knew they were going out of buisness.
I cant see showtime offering farmer to come over to fight tank can you? Is that down to their lack of dates or lack of money?
Both tank and farmer get career high paydays from Hearn to fight on DAZN. Simple . **** the subs.. youre making it all about network because the godfather Al Haymon isn't in charge this time around.
The person you're supposed to support . Yknow the fighter?!? Is crying out for a fight and actively wants to fight be that on DAZN or anywhere else that can give him a platform..
How about instead of telling Hearn to concentrate on his fighter fighting for a world championship to have on a platform that has all the other world championships for that division on it.. you STOP concentrating on him being a white British bloke and actively support him trying to get a good.. talented fighter out and doing what he does best for your entertainment.
Spastic

I imagine it has something to do with their deals with PBC/SHO/FOX. Typically speaking, no1 wants other outlets making money off of fighters who are singed to them, and if they are in deals with other en******, they are not gonna let their fighters fight elsewhere, especially if they posses showcase talent like Tank.
I was questioning the "fans" issue with it. Yeah, all those you mentioned aint going to be doing any deals with DAZN anymore. Now they know how serious they are.
