Comments Thread For: Hearn on Khan-Brook: Will I Sit Down and Watch It? Probably Not; Both Guys Are Finished

[LAchargers373]

I hate Eddie Hearn as much as anyone else but speculating about DAZN folding is going to the other extreme, they are a global organization with presence in 200 countries. We are not talking about PBC or matchroom here. Just checkout their sports rights around the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAZN#Programming

Oscar has also been talking good about DAZN lately, so looks like another 3 year extension is on the cards. Matchroom has secured a massive deal with DAZN which Sky Sports was not able to match. As long as Sir Len Blavatnik is backing it there should be no problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Blavatnik

No one watches DAZN. No one. They paid out their asses for the rights to broadcast in all those countries and matchroom is burning their money on fights no one cares about just look at Canelos fights on the platform and GGGs. Hundreds of millions of dollars with a minuscule subscription rate. Sooner DAZN is gone the better it will be for boxing. Since they joined the sports world they have been divisive in boxing.

I want to see how "Young Edward" does with Montana Love. I think the kid might be better than Conor Benn! If Montana can make 140 easily, Eddie should make Mikey Garcia, or Devin Haney vs. Montana Love! If Montana struggles at 140, he should have Montana fight Conor Benn in the U.S.! I don't know how you feel, but I think if Eddie can't secure Haney vs. Kambosos, and the 2 fight deal for Canelo, I think DAZN might fold? I don't think Joshua, Ryan Garcia, and Munguia, are big enough to keep it afloat, and there are rumors GBP is looking to go elsewhere.

Why do you think dayzin will fold?

[Oldskoolg]

My bad, I am going to the extreme. I should rephrase to say, their boxing programming SUCKS, and I could see them being disinterested in the near future, if Canelo does not sign the 2-fight deal! Too many GOOD fights not happening! Like I said, Haney vs. Garcia, not happening! Haney vs. Kambosos, on life support! GGG vs. Canelo III, on life support! Andrade vs. Munguia, dead! Bivol vs. Zurdo, crickets! What's more likely. Fury vs. Joshua/Usyk on ESPN or DAZN?

Ok so you’re saying they may close the door on boxing programming?

[Oldskoolg]

I have one, but if Canelo signs a 2 fight deal with PBC, I'll be done with them! Joshua has been a disappointment! Ryan Garcia is a hot mess! Devin Haney can't get a real fight! GGG is fighting the weakest link @ 160, instead of Andrade! I'm not happy!

This is what happens when a promoter alienates an entire sports apparatus within the USA. Sad too because he abs Haymon we’re doing business in the dearly days of PBC

Dunno. Maybe it's an essential characteristic of being a successful fight promoter, but Mr. Hearn is simply an incredibly disingenuous individual. I'd hoped that in the post King and Arum era we might see a new class of promoter that sees what he's selling as a product of great quality that stands up to scrutiny, sees his perfomers as rare and gifted people worth a great deal to the business, and sees his company as an integral part of a broader industry whose promotion as a whole supports the sucess of his business.
Instead, we get Hearn sabotaging everyone else's shows, Dana White adding wrestling to fighting and turning them into modern day ******, and both Don King and Bob Arum living to be ****ing 100!!!!!!!
What a fool I am.

Damn, now that's a brutal character assassination.

If he was babysat by Epstein as a child doesn't he deserve some sympathy?

The abuse he would have suffered must have been hard. Show some empathy! Dont victim blame lol

Lmfao, you’ve got me feeling awful now, I should of thought! Poor guy, maybe that’s why he has such a need for attention. Hates being alone with his own thoughts and flashbacks!

[P to the J]

Nothing to suggest either guy is not in their peak. So cause Brook lost to Golovkin, Spence, and Crawford, all much better fighters than him he is past prime? Or that Khan lost to Canelo and Crawford? Nonsense. This is the best version of Khan and the best version of Brook. Nothing to suggest otherwise. Both top tier athletes, 35 not 50. Prime vs prime. No excuses. The winner is the best out of the two of them and probably gets a shot at a world title. All this past prime crap is so convenient. Yeah, no losses count cos past prime, yada, yada. This fight is on PRIME TIME cos these guys are so peak. Nash out.

I’m glad someone else is saying this, esp re: Brook. I said this about 8 months ago. Any version of Brook gets beat by the guys you mention.

And as for Khan, he’s ****** enough to get beat by even all of the guys you mention, whether he’s 14 or 40.

Love defeats Benn. Haney beats Benn. Everyone defeats Garcia, Love vs Haney is 50-50.

Or just do like FOX, and invest infrequently.

I think that all changed with the Wilder vs. Joshua negotiations! Back then, Hearn thought he had a friend in Bob Arum! Hindsight is 20/20!
