Comments Thread For: De La Hoya On Golden Boy's Expiring DAZN Deal: It's Good To Have Options

The problem is you can’t build stars on dazn. It’s a sports app and those arnt big in the USA…streaming movies, tv, etc etc yes, but dazn just never went anywhere except for those who want to see Canelo and even his popularity dwindled on dazn, and not only because of the obscure app but because his choices in weak European competition. The flaw in dazn is actually very simple….you can’t build franchise fighters on it. It will NEVER appeal to the American sports fan. If that hurts going down for Eddie Hearn fans in the U.K. then that’s their issue. No star has been made on dazn. Dazn could have only worked if every already made star from American boxing moved to it. That didn’t happen so it didn’t work. All we have to do is look at every major fight or proposed fight before someone got COVID or injured was a pbc fight this year

I rarely agree with you and can't stand your race baiting.
But you're 100% correct on this one.

Espn, showtime, dazn, triller. Glad I'm not paying in America.
Boxing unfortunately has been cut up & sold off in pieces like any takeover to make more money for promoter's and tv exec's.
4 belts again cut up & sold in pieces creating 8 or 12 champions at each weight.
Boxing is in no way shape or form a sport any more with most belt holder's never having even faced a top 2 boxer at they're own weight.

Tell it like it is man! Bravo!!

When is Ryan Garcia scheduled to return?

The domino effect of HBO and their huge budgets leaving the sport is still being felt. Can’t be understated

Dazn would be ****** to let GB walk. Do they really think they can survive the u.s market with just carnelo whos next fight is on fox?

[charliepaerker]

DAZN colluded w/t Hearn to steal Canelo from Golden Boy Promotions. I wouldn’t trust those Benedict Arnold organization, if my life depended on it. Oscar needs to get far way from DAZN before they find a way to steal both Ryan and Vergil next. As the old saying goes fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

It's been twice. Remember Schafer took his entire stable?

If GBP leaves for Triller, boxing gets even more fragmented. It's becoming impossible to be a fan.

Do you actualy think it is peculiar that when DAZN didn't have the exclusive contract with Canelo and were instead working on a fight-by-fight basis that they were willing to have a bit more give than take when it came to the give-and-take of who he was fighting?

It seems crushingly obvious to me that this is the way the world works.[/QUOTE]Yeah that's true but for much less money though than that original 11 fight $365M deal. He earned $20M for Callum Smith, $10M for Avni Yıldırım and $15M for Billy Joe Saunders.

It's safe to say that DAZN has had just about enough of Canelo's Diva ass ways. You saw how Eddie Hearn had been instructed by DAZN not to bid on the Caleb Plant fight.
