DAZN should fire Eddie Hearn.

[kafkod]

You don't think DAZN are just giving him all that money without him actually fighting?

Yes of course they are, because they are a gang of half-wits who became wealthy businessmen by giving people £100million contracts for doing nothing at all, just like that fool Eddie Hearn.

"All the other promoters" aka, the US dinosaurs whose hatred for each other turned boxing into a niche sport in their own country.

And Frank Warren, who is currently building the same kind of relationship in the UK with Ben Shallom as he has with Eddie Hearn and before Eddie, his father Barry.

The "US dinosaurs" have the power, i don't like it anymore than you do, but sometimes you have to make the best of a crap situation.

Eddie has a big mouth, even DAZN told him to stfu.

If anything is weird it's you obsession with Eddie and you're love for other promotors.
I told you before they are all scumbags. Eddie made loads of mistakes, as they all have.
Why you are so fixated on one is definitely personal. Spill the beans, what did he do to you?

On this one however, it really has nothing to do with Eddie. DAZN paid for AJ rights, not Matchroom, and DAZN would've known this fight wasn't included/sold to the Saudis. Relax.

What other promoters do I love? I don’t like any of them.

You’re love for Eddie blinds you into accusing anybody criticising him as an obsessive hater.

Answer the question, can you honestly say Eddie has done a good job during his time at DAZN?

Don't know, don't give a ****.

Running away from the truth right here…

I'm going to guess there's probably a contract. A few clauses. A few things Joshua has to do. That's usually how multi million dollar deals work.

It’s an unnecessary gamble. If/when AJ loses again how does that effect his value?

AJ will have already seen a lot of that money too. It’s probably a 3-4 fight deal at most and based on previous DAZN contracts it’s likely guaranteed money.

Great business from AJ. He’s getting paid by DAZN, Sky and the Saudi’s. Terrible business from Hearn/DAZN.

You're the one who's running away from a simple question about the topic of a thread you started.

Stop deflecting. Tell us why you think DAZN should sack Eddie Hearn because Sky outbid them for the Usyk/AJ UK screening rights.

For the second time ... AJ already had a lifelong contract with Hearn/Matchroom.

His new contract with DAZN is a contract with DAZN.

Gotta agree with everything you've put in this thread. I'll say Hearn is my favourite promoter for what he's done to British Boxing, brought it out the dark ages and made it sexy again for the public, with big nights. But he's been a disappointment with DAZN, and I really want DAZN to do well and be successful. The apps easy to use, I can pretty much use it anywhere (I'm on holiday in Portrugal currently, and will be able to watch the Pulev Chisora fight without any issues - to note, my casual mates didn't even know the fight was happening that are with me). The productions good, and they tend to put on good fights and undercards, pretty consistently, and we do get a lot of DAZN fights too.

But he's let me down a lot as someone wanting them to do well. No deal with the BBC to do highlights and promote the App and fights. Hasn't got any football or worthwhile sports in the UK to drive popularity. Apparently has this massive budget, but has missed out on signing some top fighters (Whittaker, McGrail Bros, Marku, Clarke, etc). Didn't get the Brook v Khan fight. Didn't get the Fury v Whyte fight. Didn't get the Haney v Kambosas fight. Lost Usyk v AJ to Sky. I think the American side of the business is where he's lost or losing most of the ££. He thought the £££ would lure Thurman, Charlos, etc, away from PBC, and when that never worked had to overpay unpopular fighters. There's a chance the above can get rectified somewhat, but he's got no chance in America. The other promoters have frozen him out.

I want DAZN to succeed

Its suits my lifestyle and my dislike for all sports other than boxing

To watch boxing on Sky you’re paying for all the other sports as well. Even with Nowtv it still isn’t cheap.

DAZN gives me boxing and the ability to choose when I wanna watch the content.

BT schedule is thin

Not so. AJ's contract with DAZN starts after he fights Usyk. DAZN are not paying him anything for this fight.
