Comments Thread For: Hearn on PBC Possibly Partnering with DAZN: I'd Be Over the Moon; Would Be a Good Acquisition

[VislorTurlough]

If there aren’t more major streaming outlets invested in boxing, the sport has deeper troubles. Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Netflix, Pea****, HBO Max. All hungry for content. Throwing major money at league football, American Football, baseball. If none of them see boxing as appealing, what does that say?

Haymon looking to kill boxing at another network with a stream of overpaid fighters and "Meh" cards ...

PBC have consistently put on the best fights this year.. do you really care about boxing?

[Pigeons]

Of course he'd be. They have Canelo contracted for two more fights. Crawford-Spence II, Charlo-Tszyu, winners face off is also intriguing.

DAZN wishes PBC would be on their network. Have fun continuing to stream British domestic fights and irrelevant Golden Boy fights events

Muh favourite promoter.

Boxing promoters need to do a better job promoting MULTIPLE boxers. Why are we talking about Wilder, when he has fought one round in 3 years, essentially?

I once worked with a guy that hated our management staff (rightfully so, they are HORRIBLE), and he left to go to another competing produce company. The very next week, our company bought the company he went to. And he was back in our building again within a month! Haha.

When I read this, the first thing that came to mind is if Crawford ends up back on ESPN somehow working with Bob arum in some way hahaha. (I believe he’s a free agent, but still it crossed my mind and made me laugh)

It'd be much better for DAZNs value and profile than Matchroom thats for sure.

I'm British myself but the UK-centric vibe of a lot of DAZNs content is pretty weird honestly, and i'm sure not that marketable to non Brits. Doubt that maybe people really give a **** about paying to watch British domestic boxing.

MatchRoom and GBP have both been with DAZN for a long time! We never got Canelo vs. Andrade! We never got Andrade vs. Munguia! We never got Haney vs. Ryan Garcia! Most recently, we didn't get Munguia vs. Berlanga! It's not about the broadcaster, it's all about the promoters!

The American takeover is here!

Hearn telling ****** Al what to do lmfao


Early celebration I know but alot of people gonna eat crow

He can’t even tell Oscar what to do and Oscar has one of the weakest stables in boxing. WTF makes you think he’ll have control over Haymon ? A guy with Tank, Canelo, Crawford, Benavidez, and pretty much 80% of the marquee fighters sport-wide in his stable ? If anything I could see Haymon taking over as the lead guy at DAZN if he goes there.

I had , and cancelled DAZN cuz it was trash and they couldn’t make ANY good fights. DAZN NEEDS PBC and I hope they are smart enough to realize this. This is a huge step in them becoming THE channel for boxing like they always wanted. I for damn sure will re subscribe the second they announce they signed a PBC deal.

wishes. Have fun continuing to stream British domestic fights

The lack of domestic level fights are what killed boxing in the US, besides I'd take a 50-50 domestic fight over mismatches.

Boxing as a whole is irrelevant in the US so might as well go with an irrelevant network, the big boys want nothing with this crap.
