    Joshua to leave Sky and go to DAZN?

    I think it’s looking likely. Big gamble from AJ if true.

    I didn't think it would be possible for Hearn to lose DAZN money any quicker than he already is doing.

    I stand corrected.

      Arguably a big gamble from both

      DAZN are desperate for a big name in the UK, so they must be paying crazy money to beat Sky for his signature

      The problem is his casual fanbase has been dwindling for a while now and he’s likely gonna get smashed by Usyk in the rematch which isn’t going to help matters.

      He’ll always be a decent draw, no doubt, but I believe they’re gonna end up blowing a lot of money at the wrong time, just to get him on board..

        I think that's been the big holdup in the rematch being announced. I imagine DAZN are pushing hard to get AJ on the platform.

          DAZN needs to be able to keep Canelo in the states and AJ in the UK for the sake of interest.

            Just heard about this. I think it's a risk that may not pay off in the long run, especially if he loses to Usyk again. Both parties could end up regretting it.

              AJ being in a downward trajectory in his career and DAZN pissing money away makes me believe this would end poorly for all involved

                  Can’t understand why they would do this

                  AJ is going into the Usyk fight as an underdog with most people believing he hasn’t got much of a chance.

                  I wonder what their thinking is

                    I mean, this is a bigger risk for DAZN than AJ. Don't get all the people saying there is risk for AJ here dude has made insane money and could probably ride off into the sunset if Usyk smokes him in the rematch. Or he could go on fighting guys like Hammer and Rudenko and still make big time money. The risk is definitely on DAZN here if AJ gets splattered in this fight
