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

[Teetotaler69]

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.

Haney has no one to blame. He got paid big bucks by the idiot Hearn and put on boringass performances. Ita actually good Noone saw him on dazn lol and because of that he benefited to having big paydays and continue to do so despite being boring af

Oh shyte....a post about Hearn / dazn and I missed the chance to make fun of them....ooooooooooooooo the humanity!!

PPV to see a hugger throw a few jabs over 12 rounds against another guy who nobody knows. Good luck and who knows, they might reach 40 total buys if they do the marketing really well.

its the right decision but Hearnis needs to add good undercard scraps

“It’s only PPV in the US”..how’s that for an American takeover, lads?

Because nobody in Europe is getting out of bed at 4am to pay to watch this.

This event will probably generate between 200K to 300K at the most! If you don’t have a good undercard the event will suck! No one wants to pay to see a Haney on ppv!

Somewhat fair criticism, but Haney also has himself to blame for his fighting style and personality. His father happening to be the most insufferable douche in all of boxing also doesn't help him.

I think even those numbers are optimistic. Haney is just not must-see boxing (despite what his people tell him) and Prograis has maybe 15-20 fans.

99% of people couldnt pick Prograis out of a lineup, and Haney couldnt sell out the first 3 rows of a school bus. Not sure how PPV makes any sense here.

Hopefully they get clobbered.....

Defend it all u want. It aint ppv and will flop. Haney cant sell for sh.it and Regis lost his shine awhile back.

Still hoping Rougarou khtfo. Haney is a bore to watch
