With Haney signing a 3 fight deal w/t Top Rank and Andrade’s DAZN deal coming to an end after the Parker fight. What does Hearn have left in his Matchroom USA stable? Besides prospects like Pacheco, Castro, Ammo, Espino, Ford there isn’t much left. Wouldn’t be surprise if DAZN finally makes Golden Boy the primary promoter for US events w/t Hearn doing the occasional Canelo fight.

I called this months ago, DAZN will scale back on the US experiment until they have more capable personnel. Eddie doesn’t understand the US market and simply doesn’t have the reach stateside whilst Oscar is just a f***ing mess these days. DAZN were never gonna just keep losing money year after year.
I don’t think the UK experiment lasts very long either. I expect DAZN to focus more on international markets and eventually I think they’ll shift their focus from boxing altogether.Comment

I can't think of who Hearn can get to headline anymore to be honest. Estrada?Comment

It barely got started really.
It was clear it wasn't going anywhere when Hearn announced his main targets are Wilder, Spence, Broner, Tank, Charlo's, etc and ended up signing Jessie Vargas, Danny Roman and Tevin Farmer.Comment

The whole thing was folly from the beginning.
Hearn should have doubled down on sewing up the UK market, the US market is a mess and has been since HBO said no mas.
Without HBO, American boxing cannot create any new stars. Leave them to it, these guys would rather sit on a PBC contract and be top P4P talent and be able to go shopping in their home town without being recognised. Leave them to it.
The DAZN thing hasn't worked out too well but he's had some good shows on there recently and after the last couple of weeks with Wood and Warrington, he's got a couple of unlikely stadium fillers on his hands, if he pulls his head out of his ass he should be able to see that Wood-Warrington can be his new Froch-Groves and really put his focus there.Comment
