It's hilarious you think Hearn has a strategy. His last US event was a YouTube freak show. This month it's a Chavez Jr. freak show. Next month it's a Jake Paul freak show. After that is Mikey against a guy who hasn't had a meaningful win in 3 years. They're just throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks.
Arum's comment was right on the nose. They paid PPV money for Ramirez-Hooker and got Bounce TV ratings. Hearn is making some of the same mistakes that led to Affliction MMA's downfall.
It's hilarious you think Hearn has a strategy
Is it really hilarious? i mean, when a young up coming talent like Haney signs with Eddie Hearn...is that also hilarious? because no doubt they would have to rate Eddie to sign with him.
His last US event was a YouTube freak show.
it was a HUGE event and had Haney and BJS on the undercard too. I wouldnt call that a freak show at all.
This month it's a Chavez Jr. freak show.
wtf makes that fight a freak show? you complete mong.
After that is Mikey against a guy who hasn't had a meaningful win in 3 years. They're just throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks.
it's still a big mexican fight..makes a lot of sense. mikey coming back from his loss to Spence. plus with the subscription model they have, lots of mexican fans signed up to watch the AJ-Ruiz fight. Having a couple of mexican boxers fighting in Feb is for them.
similarly lots of subs came from the youtube fight...so putting on a jake paul fight for them also makes sense.
You're not willing to admit that by overpaying Ramirez, they forced espn to pay Ramirez a boat load of money
How come you're not talking about espn/top rank overpaying Crawford and Tyson Fury, since they've not generated big numbers at all. even overpaid amir khan and did 100k ppv buys.
plus the fact you're whining about these type of fights..what do you expect, mike tyson vs lennox lewis every saturday? you're a moron seriously.
The subscribers pay very little and are getting a lot of boxing for that inc the UK matchroom cards. you're not going to just get huge cards.
The money they're paying Garcia doesnt matter..they're smarter people than you. as i said they monetise big data too.
you're a basic *****
'dey paying too much money...dey not making money'
you dont know what they make or their goals etc.
Affliction MMA
affliction mma was what 2-3 ppv cards and then was forgotten about. you're talking about them like it was the fall of wcw or some ****.
fyi...eddie is spending out of the pot dazn pay him...$120m a yr. He's free to spend that as he pleases, but he works with dazn on that one. You can watch the Garcia press conference where the dazn exec is saying HE/They had discussed Garcia vs Vargas a yr ago.
You obv dont know **** about how their business works or their 'strategy'
you're just bitter because it's eddie hearn.
his business cant really fail anyway, as i said he gets x amount of money from sky sports and dazn..he isnt spending out of his own pocket.
if sky and dazn took his contracts he'd either go elsewhere or he'd just leave boxing..having already made a fk ton of money.
i believe espn and dazn are both overspending to put pressure on the pbc.
here's something for you

im sure you're aware of this..this is far worse. The company has lost a lot of value, overspent a fk ton in the past..and yet you're hating on little eddie.
You're just repeating what used car salesman Hearn said
i dont recall eddie even making that point. as if eddie would reveal his strategy
'im paying ramirez more, so that bob arum has to pay him more in future'
he wouldnt say that you fool.
I watched Bob Arum go on a tirade against Eddie Hearn.
https://www.boxingscene.com/arum-dazn-get-rid-hearn-belong-here--142508
Eddie Hearn doesn’t belong in the United States, promoting fights,” Arum said. “He doesn’t understand this market. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. All he can do is write checks, and stupid checks. Look what he paid me for Ramirez to go over for one fight to DAZN and knock out Hooker. I mean, that’s madness, total madness.
that is a pissed off, fuming Bob Arum. He was pissed off...venomous in that interview.
that's because he was pissed that Ramirez would be demanding more from top rank in future.
As for the new contract offer, well...im sure that offer is lucrativ,e afterall ramirez was paid a lot by Matchroom, so it needs to be lucractive!!! it doesnt mean bob arum is happy about it.
Now just to counter bob arum's tirade against eddie. He was the guy who paid amir khan $5m for half a fight...and it did 100k ppv buys.
You think bob arum would go on a tirade because another promoter is making poor choices and failing? bob would be loving that **** if that was the case...he was pissed off, because it was bad for top rank to have ramirez get paid so much.
we dont know **** about the business side to argue over what amount of money is right or wrong, we dont know their strategy.
even if it is terrible business from matchroom or dazn, why should we give a ****? do you want to see the fight or not?

Everybody howl out about being their own boss until its time to make a business decision. He should use this to leverage more money from PBC. That's what Wilder did and thats what a businessman like Mikey Garcia would do. All Charlo has to do is set up a meeting with Hearn face to face.
that's true.
Arum wasn't pissed off over Ramirez. You're just repeating what used car salesman Hearn said. Arum was happy to get that fat DAZN payday and take back another title to his stable. He just signed Ramirez to a new contract worth a lot of money.
The people at DAZN are smart enough to know $14 million for two guys with no name recognition is unrealistic.

I'm talking about the bigger picture, how dazn make money. Keeping in mind that it's also a strategy for them to overpay in purse bids or one off fight deals (eg ramirez) to put pressure on the competition.
Why do you think bob arum was pissed off over ramirez? because in future ramirez says 'i want x amount, more than what dazn paid' and bob says 'no you're not getting it' or he's forced to pay.
I'm pretty sure the people at dazn are way smarter than you.

You don't need data to tell you that Charlo and Andrade aren't draws. It's a good fight for the hardcore fans but there's not enough interest to be paying a combined $14 million for their purses. That's money down the toilet.

you realise dazn have 8m subs globally already? if you factor in their costs in boxing $300-400m a yr, Serie A $400m and various others...
they're already breaking even or close.
BUT then they also monetise their data..and we have no clue what that's worth.
ALSO
the more eddie offers them, the more the competition have to pay later down the line.
that's why bob arum was fking pissed off with how much eddie had to pay Ramirez...because he knew in future he'll have to pay that kind of money too.

It’s a slap in the face. Charlo won’t take it. Besides either Charlo against Hurd is a bigger fight than the bum Andrade. It’s ridiculous how terrible fight fans memories are. Before Hurd lost to Williams that was next. Hurd gave us fight of the year, Boo Boo just offers the worst nickname on a paper champ ever.
I really wanna see a Matchroom champ fight where they don't CONTROL the promotion.
You realise the competition need to make counter offers better than the Matchroom offers then right?

my fave part of the video is where hearn says "im having alot of trouble landing andrade a big fight...ive tried..its not happening" and then immediately starts talking about charlo and some deal he "offered" him....then says "it can be a multi fight deal or one fight deal whatever he wants"......yet theres canelo and golovkin and jacobs....all right there on his network and his own network dont want andrade in the ring with any of those guys lol
LoL, yea curious stuff. hearn/DAZN will offer anything to title-holders ... with some tricks attached. They are trying hard to control the belts by hook, crook, cash, or legalese.
The problem is, if they control the promotion there will be some kinda BS with the fight (did they pay Ruiz more to come in at 300 lbs and throw the fight?).
I really wanna see a Matchroom champ fight where they don't CONTROL the promotion. AJ got KO'd at MSG even with it being their promotion (they couldn't control The Garden, too much history).
I'd like to see the fight, but, hopefuly someone else makes it happen. :boxing:
Eddie doing his typical snake oil salesman routine. He just says vague things and then people somehow interpret that into 6-7 million. Charlo isn't worth that kind of money. DAZN might offer him Crawford money and hope they get him in there against GGG or Canelo next, but even they have a limit to how much money they're willing to lose. $3-4 million is closer to reality and even then they're losing their shirt by overpaying him.

Jermall Charlo has the Eubank Jr fight for Spring 2020 (likely for Showtime, with Pacquiao and Spence likely having events on FOX near the time), that has value in the US and UK on TV, plus a potentially nice ticket seller depending on where they put it.
Are you honestly arguing that Charlo's share on that pot is going to be $2m-$3m (when the just-signed PBC/Showtime deal basically has a $4m rights fee per show, adjusted per event)?
Beyond that, if Hearn let Andrade go, to fight Jermall in a unification in the Fall were he to win, what do you gather Andrade's piece of that pot would be complete compared to what he's currently getting on DAZN?
Charlo heads over for Canelo, without question; get something similar to what Jacobs and Kovalev got, and make a go of it.
Not really sure if the deal makes sense for any of the other fights, tbh.
When did I say anything about Charles share of a pot ....read my post again I think u miss read .the poster here is speculating that charlo will get a 7 million dollar purse for Andrade not that they will split it ,iam simply saying if charlo gets offered a purse over 2 million meaning 3 or more he should take it as it's more than hes making at showtime. Name me one fight Charlos purse exceeded 1 million dollars . With his new rights deal hes not making 3 mill or up . Not yet. He should jump on it if he promotes himself and it's one fight is all iam saying . However I dont think any of this is going to happen and the post is based off speculation from a hearn interview . If u read my other posts u will see I also see charlo taking the eubank route . He will get a very good payday and it's a much easier fight than Andrade
Big money seems to fall out of the sky today. But when you go to fights they are usually half-empty.
I understand they get tv money and promotional advertising money but have trouble wrapping my head around these figures.
It's like money grows on trees in boxing.
dazn got into boxing as soon as sports betting was legalised.
dazn's parent company monetises data for the betting industry..aswell as marketing. lot of money in that alone I imagine purely because of the value of that information.
On top of that, the odd fixed fight where they work with sports betting partners=$$$$$$

Will charlo accept it?I don't see how he can call himself a real champion if he won't fight him for that much money. Unless he has a better offer which seems very unlikely.
its most likely alot of these offers are "hey 1 fight deal man...but if you win we got options on you...if you lose convincingly then you can go back to where you came from if we wont need you"
Exactly we been around the game long enough to know it goes further than "he scared"
Reason why most guys turn down offers from Arum
Truth . I agree . While dazn is def throwing money around this number still seems high . Will be interesting to see what the actual number is . If it's over 2 million and truly 1 fight charlo should take it. However I doubt he will regardless of the number . Boo boo isnt worth it financially for haymons investment and A bad loss would put him back a bit ( not saying I'd pick boo boo , I think it's a close fight but I would lean charlo atm in a pick em fight ). If it was canelo or ggg and a good cheque I bet they would take it . They are gonna wanna cash out somewhat if they can . Charlo is good but he ain't beating canelo . Ggg he could def beat right now if he fought the right fight , that's what they should be looking for if they wanna do dazn for a fight .

Its funny u say that cuz these guys on here expect these fighters to sign anything and disregard those details.. Aka that Wilder deal
its most likely alot of these offers are "hey 1 fight deal man...but if you win we got options on you...if you lose convincingly then you can go back to where you came from if we wont need you"
