Comments Thread For: Hearn Defends Decision To Place Haney-Prograis on Pay-Per-View: 'It's the Way To Make The Fight Happen'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn says the purse demands of both Regis Prograis and Devin Haney left no other option for him and his business partners but to put that alluring 140-pound title on pay-per-view, in effect putting the onus on consumers.

I dont have much interest in this at all I feel it's going to do woeful numbers at PPV.

Dazn couldn't have picked a worse promoter to grow the company. It's their own fault if they wanted to make an impact in the u.s then why not get a u.s promoter to do it? Ridiculous

Translation: Both guys want too much money. Money that DAZN and other platforms cannot afford.
The deal is you get your extra money based on the PPV outcome. You have only yourselves to blame
if the fight doesn't sell. You're either boring or you don't have a lot of fans.

Espinoza said the same thing, "PPV is a tool to make certain fights happen."

A combined fanbase of what? 25 including family members?

One , most people thought he lost his last fight the other , not many know much about him other than his loss to Josh Taylor. You’ve got to feel sorry for the Americans here , they are being shafted..decent fight , no more.

Yeah he completely shat it. I don't think anybody seen him being blackballed like this. Now he's back putting fights on in the UK, praying Connor Benn gets his License. Good fight, Haney a name but hardly pay per view material, Prograis good but more or less unknown. Think alot of ppl this side of the pond were glad to see him take a few hits...

Lmao both looked terrible in their last fights. Who the hell is going to pay for this crap?

[boxing_hamza]

It's messed up that Hearn and Dazn started by saying ppv is dead, no ppv on Dazn was the whole marketing strategy and now do this.

Messed up for fans.
