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

[SplitSecond]

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

You mean like GBP?

Hope there's no guarantees and that the PPV blows , be funny if both get paid peanuts after clearly overvalued themselves. Boxing is in Shambles if a fight like this is on PPV on a freaking $24.99 a month subscription

Utterly Ridiculous

Its becoming difficult to justify the DAZN subscription.

You mean it's the way to guarantee that nobody watches the fight, and Haney and Prograis both get a wakeup call that neither is a star, let alone a superstar worth a PPV.

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...

The moment he opened his idiot mouth, everyone on this side of the Atlantic knee he’d fail. Big fish in a small pond came over and was arrogant and insulting to other promoters and fighters

DAZN has done Haney no favors in terms of marketing and growing his brand. It took the Kambosos and Loma fights to drive his popularity. Now DAZN is placing him behind a paywall that will do dismal numbers.

Not sure how this fight does on PPV in any country; they're both coming off questionable wins and seemingly fighting each other to avoid bigger threats in and around their respective divisions and neither guy is popular even fighting out of their respective "home" bases.

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.

they will say anything and promise even more over at Dumbzone the whole PPV market until they get hit with some really bad numbers will never change and even if they got hit with really bad numbers they would probably lie about it and keep putting up low level high priced fights so it goes and so it goes.............
