Comments Thread For: Hearn Responds To Sky Winning Broadcast Rights To Usyk-Joshua Rematch

[Toffee]

It’s a business first and foremost. Whoever has most $ will usually win. But DAZN has less than zero profile in USA. Nation of 320M. It’s the pot of gold for anyone with a product. Looking ahead they have to compete with all the other emerging streaming services for events.

I think their key strength is that there are another 7.5 billion people in the world and they are trying to cover as many as they can.

DAZN could get huge without the US. They'll still be trying to compete there but there are other markets with less competition for rights.

Eddie Hearn does not believe there was anything misleading about Anthony Joshua's recent career pledge to DAZN, even though the platform will not be streaming his upcoming and arguably most important fight to date.

Saudi Arabia is a great nation. It’s perhaps the only nation to embrace boxing as a global support. Hopefully it brings in tourism and perhaps some due change to some of their laws.
Hopefully they can also start hosting the World Club soccer championships soon too.

I’m just happy they are following the blue print set by the US where capitalism and corporations set the standard for justice. I trust they’ll get there. Just like the great US.

The matchroom schills are out in full force doing damage control lol. The truth is this. After AJ loses the usyk rematch his deal with DAZN is going to look even worse for them then the one they signed bumlovkin to lmao

Why should Eddy complain? They're over paying to sell his product, I'm sure Eddy gets his cut. What this might be, is a vote of no confidence. If Eddy was sure of AJ, he'd have bid 100 million.

[Bronx2245]

Saudis have sold only the UK rights to Sky Sports, Rest of the world rights are still pending. Saudis have paid 100 Million dollars for AJ-Usyk-2 and want to recover as much as they can to reduce the final cost to them.

OK, there's still hope!

Unsuccessful people on forums fall into this trap in assuming people are as emotional as them. You may not like Hearn, but I don't think Hearn's decision here is emotional. It's way too soon to deem DAZN a failure, and the only people doing it are these strange boxing fans who are emotionally invested in particular promoters.

This Post is sooo True
It's the same 5 strange Boxing Fans who leave Negative post and are emotionally invested in every Matchroom Dazn Eddie Hearn Article on Boxingscene
Lol

DAZN got outbid for the fight. That's on DAZN.

Proves one thing, this “I’ve got a billion dollars to make fights” is bunk. If he had access to that level of greenbacks then this would have been an easy fight to get on the deadzone

I'm becoming more disillusioned with DAZN's app, as it often gives the appearance that a fight is being aired when it is only being followed. Chisora v Pulev II was another example.

It started out at a great $3.99 per month, then jumped to $13.99 p/m and there are barely enough major shows to justify that hike.

I like Eddie's passions and commitment to the sport but the app is buggy, Isn't clear about what is being followed and what is being aired.

Currently, they have Garcia v Fortuna, Smith v ?, Vergil Ortiz jr v ?, and GGG v Canelo to cover now until September.

I'm close to canceling my subscription.

Dazn, where hypejob's go to die.

looking at the future though, AJ's committed year's, Fury's got possibly 1 undesputed match in him, Usyks approaching old, Wilder old, who's coming through?
Sanchez, Dubois, Joyce, Hrgovic, Anderson?

Even after loosing to Usyk again Aj could cling onto a belt for a few more year's.

Hearn should kiss and try get back with sky cos I don’t think this DAZN adventure will ever match the sky platform,my opinion,but I guess there is too much pride

Sky goes out to the UK and Ireland only. DAZN is a worldwide platform.
