Comments Thread For: Hearn: Not Every Canelo Alvarez Fight Was A Success For DAZN

Careful Eddie, don't bite one of the big hands that feed or fed thee.

Rather blame Dazn, as they seem to have offered way above market value contracts, or per fight purses.

Having said that, I don't begrudge any pro fighter making as much money as possible in this most dangerous sport.

They were in the US.

Canelo's fight with Bivol was the first DAZN PPV.

Who is Canelo's CORE fanbase?

Where are they based?

Do they have enough disposable income to pay $100 for one of his PPVs?

Canelo could fight a taco stand vendor and fill the Azteca stadium with 100,000 people but realistically they're not going to be spending more than $50 to watch him.

So where does the rest of Canelo's $25m purse come from....?

The organisers have to make a profit too......

Canelo’s core fanbase is based in North America.

He set the all-time US indoor boxing attendance record.

DAZN simply didn’t know to to leverage him properly with PPVs. I expect that to NOT be an issue with PBC and Showtime.

I’ve always thought DAZN is a front for the cartel to launder money. No way they’re successful with paying customers here in the US. Any other company would’ve bankrupted by now, especially with Hearn handing out money like he’s Oprah to fighters who don’t move the needle for them.

Golovkin basically got away with legalized bank robbery against DAZN.

Not more than Andrade and Farmer. But Berlanga might surpass them all.

Eddie sounds like he's butt hurt...

Canelo's next bitter ex-girlfriend award goes to Eddie Hearn.

Oscar is sad. He was former winner.

What a joke. It took Hearn this long to admit that using his C level fighters was going to cause DAZN to lose their shirts on the Canelo heist. Not only should the Buffon at DAZN get fired for allowing this sham, but whoever extended Hearns contract after such poor performance should go too.

Suddely, Hearn now admits he didn’t have any more tomato cans in his stable to keep the Canelo heist going . And Hearn is given a reward for this sham! What CEO in any company not be immediately fired for such failures?

Thought this thread was about Dazn and Slow Eddie
Instead we got all of canelo’s girlfriends here biatching about how awesome he is
Fughin joke
To get back to the core of this thread , did anybody expect anything less from Slow Eddie ?
Slow Eddie biatches about anyone who dares to cross his path
No surprise here

Now the man Jake Paul refers to as a weasel, Showtime Espinosa, is going to inherit the Hearn leftovers. This is why HBO or should I say Time Warner, got out of boxing. They got taken to the cleaners signing fighters to multi fight agreements and having fighters insist doing their BS mandatories against the puppets the sanctioning bodies got paid to put in their rankings.

HBO learned too late, DAZN didn’t have an exec who understood the scam, and now Espinosa is about to get his arse handed to him for making the same foolish mistakes that sunk HBO and DAZN. It takes a fool to learn!
