DAZN should fire Eddie Hearn.

[kafkod]

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.

Covid 19, losing out to BT for the Premiership football screening rights. Eddie Hearn's fault too?

It's possible the Saudis would pick Sky no matter what the bids are. It's not the money. Didn't even matter what Hearn did or didn't do.

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.

Matchroom didn't have any rights to sell. There were several bids from different locations to stage the fight. AJ and Usyk's management teams made the decision on which bid to accept, not Hearn.

There’s really a lot of terrible posters on the forum but the bigger question is why is anyone entertaining the worst out of them all ?


Notice I’m not entertaining the OPs subject but this why he posts the worst things on the forum so I’m more or less addressing the responders ..

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.

This is an incredibly good point. Also why the Saudis reached out to BBC to guage interest from them in airing the fight. Not really different than Thrilla in Manila and Rumble in the Jungle. The venues and broadcasts are being used as public relations (kinda like an expensive infomercial).

I don't think the Saudis spends money/invests on sports and entertainment to make more money. So Sky is not necessarily the highest bidder.

The excuses are hilarious.

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?

It’s not a judgement it’s a fact. Look at the money they’ve lost.

Hearn gets the face of boxing Canelo beaten and then can't deliver AJ.

I've been saying for years that DAZN would have been better off giving Golden Boy Promotions control over the boxing budget.

It’s not his fault apparently.

Regardless of whether you love or hate Hearn, nobody can deny he’s done a terrible job during his time with DAZN. The delusion from some of these people making excuses is unbelievable.
