    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.
    Who cares. Neither are boxers. Theirs a site called the “politics of boxing”. They have 4 people on their at any given time. Why not make it 5??

      For all the idiots defending the ******ity of Hearn/DAZN in this situation, a simple question: If/when Joshua loses to Usyk, how do you think that will effect his value?

      With DAZN committing over 100m to AJ they need a return on that investment, with no UK broadcast rights for the Usyk rematch that’s a huge chunk of money you’re losing out on. This fight could easily generate £50m in PPV revenue and that money is going to Sky instead of DAZN.

      On top of that, if AJ does lose, is there any guarantee he actually continues fighting? The man has made hundreds of millions already, is he really prepared to rebuild after back to back losses? In that scenario DAZN have literally made no return on their investment.

        DAZN should fire Eddie Hearn because Sky outbid them for the UK screening rights?

        What am I missing here ... how is Eddie to blame for that?

          Eddie’s time with DAZN has been disastrous. This isn’t an isolated incident. Check their accounts if you don’t believe me. This is yet another massive f*** up of epic proportions.

          The post above of mine explains why this is yet another catastrophe by Hearn and DAZN. I ain’t gonna repeat myself.

            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.
            That's a very good point. I assumed that Sky got the UK rights simply by offering more money for them than DAZN. But yes, money may not be the bottom line for the Saudi's. Lord knows, they have plenty of it already!

                AJ already had a lifelong contract agreement with Hearn/Matchroom. The new deal he just signed with DAZN was with DAZN. Get it?

                No doubt there will be qualification clauses in the contract AJ has with DAZN. They're not just going to commit to giving him £100million per year, whatever, lol.

                  Eddie sleep with your mum RJJ? Why you so obsessed with him? Just enjoy boxing mate, this negativity will kill you.

                  DAZN would've obviously known the score when Matchroom sold the rights to the Saudis, don't worry about it.

                    No wonder the UK is becoming an islamic country. The Saudis' main goal is no doubt to improve their image abroad. What else?

                      You are in no position to make judgements like that and you haven't answered my question, which was a genuine one ... how is Eddie Hearn to blame for Sky outbidding DAZN for the screening rights?
