Yup cool more fragmentation, BT PPV's to likely increase, great for fans.

See what British fans don't understand is that if DAZN bought BT Sports you would have had the top two promotional outfits in the UK under the same network, who could FORCE them to work together and deliver cross promotional fights regularly.

But forget that let's all laugh at Eddie hearn, that's better isn't it.

Boxing just can't help itself can it.

We can still hope though, if Fury vs Whyte loses enough money then discovery might decide they aren't interested in boxing.

Exactly my thoughts. Having all the BT fights + UFC on DAZN would be awesome.

Damn, I guess those kids that been boasting about DAZN buying BT SPORTS ran their mouths prematurely!!

DAZN are on their back ends in U.K.

I guess the old “unique events” PPV model will happen much more frequently than first claimed by DAZN/ Hearn.
