DAZN should fire Eddie Hearn.

Just look at this AJ disaster. You’ve committed to paying the guy over £100m and Sky are the one’s profiting on his next fight. The vast majority of AJ revenue comes from the UK and you lost the f***ing rights. What are they doing man? Another catastrophe of epic proportions, can’t wait to see how Eddie spins this one.

How did this happen exactly?

He's getting his ass kicked

DAZN will be furious.

You must understand something.

DAZN is a mere content provider. It's one sports version of Netflix.
It's not and cannot be involved in any content that is political in nature.

There lies the difference compared to SKY which got news coverages, opinion programs,
shows that could sway opinions in positive directions to the Saudi's interests.

Saudi government got tons of investments in the UK, which includes tv networks
like BBC, and many others.

I would be surprised if they weren't also involved in messing this up

If he loses then retires, which is very possibly IMO, they’ve just pissed 100m up the wall. One of the biggest disasters I’ve ever seen in the boxing business.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Same here tbh….

Maybe someone with better knowledge of the UK market can enlighten - but I don't think this is a big deal. This fight wasn't part of the agreement.

DAZN's interest in AJ is more around the big domestic fights should he regain his championship - mainly the Fury fight. If he loses to Usyk it changes everything anyway.

DAZN would've been fully aware they didn't have the rights to this fight and had to bid for it.

Don't worry about it.
