    A promoter employed by DAZN to deliver content fails to secure the UK rights to a fight he is promoting! How is he not accountable?

    D-E-L-U-S-I-O-N-A-L.
    Hearn isn't employed by DAZN. He has a deal with them whereby they help fund fights he promotes and get the streaming rights in return for their money.

    AJ's fights were specifically excluded from that deal. Surely you must have noticed that none of them were on DAZN in the UK, even though they were all promoted by Hearn?

    DAZN didn't fund Usyk vs AJ 2 so they don't get streaming rights without paying for them, which they declined to do. It isn't that difficult to understand.

      We've just been giving you facts. It seems like you're too emotionally fixated on Hearn to understand some people neither love nor hate the guy.

        And if Hearn is such a lousy promoter, then how come he's gotten AJ 3/4 times as much money for fighting Usyk than Arum/Warren were able to get Fury for fighting Wilder?
        John Skipper, DAZNs head at the time literally came out and said it was a badly put together deal. What the **** are you even arguing? This is what I mean about Hearniacs seeming slow. They DID offer him more money to fight Joshua. A mutlifight offer which would have had Wilder in limbo as Joshua lost. Haymon talked him out of it. This is literally common knowledge that can br Googled.

        Again. How do you know Joshua is getitng what they say he is? I think they released his financials which said his company made about 40m over the last two or so years. Which seemed kinda different from the numbers touted by DAZN. I don't believe these numbers either. Because there is no athletic commission like Nevada which has to provide mandatory minimums. Again, you're just taking Eddie's word

        Utterly hilarious at this point.

          Facts like he’s lost hundreds of millions and lost out on the two biggest UK fights available this year?

          Yeah he’s not accountable at all.

            Skipper never said the deal was badly put together. He said that, with hindsight, it probably would have been better to build a relationship with Wilder and his team before putting the offer to Deontay. Skipper is a practical minded business man. He's used to working with other business men, not feminised emotional snowflakes like Wilder.

            The deal wouldn't have left Wilder in limbo if AJ had lost. If that was the reason why Wilder turned it down then why didn't anybody connected with him even mention that when explaining their reasons at the time? It was an offer to fight the mando with Breazeale then 2 fights with AJ, and the AJ/Wilder fights were contingent on them both winning their interim fights.

              Hearn hasn't lost out on Usyk/AJ 2, he's promoting the fight, ffs! And it's going to make him a hell of a lot more money then Frank Warren, aka Bob Arum's UK PR man, made from Fury vs Whyte.

                Literally sums up the Matchroom fanbase. Eddie could tell them the grass is blue and the sky is green and they’d believe it.

                  Which, in other words, was the deal was poorly put together. Skipper a practical businessman? Pretty sure he was ousted for doing drugs whilst on the job. Youre hilarioud at this point.

                  What exactly is the value of two Joshua fights if he doesn't have a title?

                    What exactly is the connection between John Skipper and the UK rights for Usyk/AJ 2?

                    You do know that Skipper is no longer with DAZN, yes?

                      And if Eddie told you the grass is green and the sky is blue you would call him a liar then start yet another thread him bashing for it.
