Comments Thread For: Hearn: Pay-Per-View Market Is Dwindling; Fighters Should Take The Guarantee Instead

[Smash]

ppv is not dwindling!!! ask the ginger gringo named gingerino about that!!!!

he can do it!

Hearn said he has already sent Al Haymon, the chief of PBC, an offer for Plant to fight on DAZN and is now waiting to hear back. “I’d be surprised if Al Haymon would stop Caleb Plant from taking that fight,” Hearn said. “It’s an unbelievable opportunity.”

Hearn acts as if Al Haymon doesn't have business interests that he serves. Hearn has interests w/ DAZN. Al has interests w/ FOX. There's nothing unbelievable! I Think FOX will want this one!

Exactly! You are absolutely correct! It's not going to happen. Al would be a damn fool to allow one of his fighters to leave his platform to fight on a rival platform with one of his title belts still intact.

What good would Caleb Plant be to Al Haymon coming back to the PBC titleless? He would be no good for him at all.

Chances are Al will release Plant from his roster if he signs a deal with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn and take his IBF Super middleweight title belt over to DAZN and lose to Canelo Alvarez.

Al should tell Canelo "Get the fuck outta here man"!

Young Edward’s on a roll today I see. We are back to the “they don’t want the fight” tactics if someone rejects having to fight on his app in the USA. Eddie Eddie Eddie…..the only folks in the USA who have your app are those who only want to see Canelo. The American sports fan didn’t buy into it. If Canelo signs a 2-3 fight deal with the man from Harvard then dayzin is in some real trouble in the USA….

Oh no, not that! Al should sell Canelo on the chance to sell many, many PPVs! He should tell him that FOX is all in, and he should treat this fight like an audition! Haymon has 3 fighters for Canelo (Plant, Charlo, and Benavidez)! FOX would love to have Canelo fight all 3, but at least 2 on their platform! Can't piss off Canelo at this point! Too much at stake!

hearn wages “war” in the boxing media, Haymon wages war in corporate offices. Hearn is a master manipulator of his emotional fans, and gets them energised on YouTube. Good show pointing out that each man has interests from their own corporate backers

LOL @ Hearn telling fighters what they should do.

Haymon shouldn't be the only one doing the talking! The Big Wigs at FOX need to bring their A-game! Canelo on FOX? HUGE! Plant, Charlo, Benavidez, and Morrell Jr.! Plenty of viable opponents for Canelo! They should be trying to offer Canelo a multi-fight package!

PPV fighters also can get a guarantee, e.g Fury vs Wilder. Also why would Plant fight on an app when he can fight on a tv channel that people will watch getting far more exposure.

Question: How many stars has Eddie exactly built on DAZN?
Answer: None

[Bornboxingfan]

Dazn paid Canelo $35 million fixed amount. I wonder what his numbers would
look like on ppv? I have no clue what dollar amount or percentage fighters get
for every ppv sold! What would be reasonable number of legal ppv purchases?

I would appreciate some input.

Canelo on FOX would be a total win for boxing in the USA. Especially against the likes of Plant, Charlo, Benavidez etc
