    These co-promotion fights are not any good for fighters who have to share a portion of their earnings with their advisors. If these fighters are really smart, they could just hop in the other platform for one fight and head back to their home sweet home if they miss their uncles and aunts after the fight.

      I see where your going which would make much sense
      But would uncle and auntie take them back ?
      Again , it all boils down to the coin which makes that easy transition a difficult one

        Well, if I'm an Exec at DAZN, I'm wondering why Oscar is working harder to get Munguia vs. Charlo, than he was Munguia vs. GGG, or Andrade, when they were both at DAZN? Why did he steer Ryan Garcia away from Haney, when Haney was on DAZN, but worked aggressively to get Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia? Co-Promotions are good, but not as good as sole promoter, from a business sense!
        Half of a huge pot is better than all of a small pot.

          He should never use Oscar and cross in the same sentence, but anyway, most of GBP fighters would be the B-side in negotiations, so if Oscar is willing to accept that, it would be great to see everyone fight.

            Co-promotions should only be relegated to big fights. Showtime's Espinoza admits it's exasperating to have to ask the other side's approval for every little detail in the fight like PPV distributor, ringside commentators, post/pre fight interviewers, probably even the seating arrangements, or who would get rights for popcorn stands.

              It's easy to imagine Tank making more money fighting on DAZN platform without having to opt with this co-promotional nonsense. He's a big star, no longer with Mayweather, he can fight anywhere he wants to.

I'm sure DAZN is happy with Vergil Ortiz Jr. fighting Stanionis on DAZN. I doubt they really want to share money with SHO (most of the pot going to SHO) for Davis vs. Garcia, or Charlo vs. Munguia.
                It's one fight brother, there bare still a slew of fight's to be made after that, and then you can see which fight, with which fighter's are more lucrative.
                Don't get hung up over one fight, Haney has his own fight coming up, after that the winner's can fight each other, and the losers can do the same.

                  Haymon is willing to do whatever it takes to make big fights so long as you are willing to negotiate away any chance of winning

                    That's the way I see it as well, and the way it should be.
