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

[TheOneAboveAll]

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

Don’t forget women’s soccer and World Darts League

Sorry incel, but this isn't happening

They aren't going to a irrelevant network like DAZN

Where is the PBC going? If you know of another network to replace Showtime please tell us, we'd all like to know.

Dazn or Fox sports should bid on pbc & bellator especially Fox sports for to even compete with ESPN News more depth & different shows yet if went under the dazn umbrella that's great for boxing & crossover fights if being Bellator in

Disney owns both Fox sports and ESPN.

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.

DAZN tells both Oscar and Eddie what to do and what fights they'll accept. Don't get it twisted, DAZN, just like Paramount, are not thrilled about the one sided crap fights.

One of two things will happen.....either PBC will sign with a major network that's willing to spend at least as much as Showtime -OR- PBC fighters will have no choice but to fight on either DAZN or ESPN and still continue to pay on the contracts they signed with Al Hayman.

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?

Paramount, Disney, comcast and ATT are the major networks. Most aren't looking for content because they recently borrowed billions to purchase their competition and now they need to pay back the debt. DAZN has been losing money and ESPN is owned by Disney. ATT is a mess. PBC might strike a deal with Apple but I believe they too are losing money.

So now deadtime has left boxing which app is PBC going to and how much crow are the Haymonites eating right now ;-)

Disney is owns both Fox sports and ESPN.

Disney bought most of Fox's assets, including Fox Sports International, but -- as I understand it -- the US Fox Sports is still part of the Fox Corporation, and provides all the content for Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2.

I think you are right. When they sold off the Fox assets they were kind of scattered around. That said, I doubt that either Fox1 or 2 have the pockets to support boxing and even if they did the final product will look more like Friday Night Fights light then Showtime.

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

Are you the only one in the boxing world who doesn't know Haymon has consistently protected his fighters, and has had a personnel interest for their safety, preventing danger to them? He is the king of mismatches, and a few good cards in the last year can not erase that. And if YOU cared about boxing, you would know this.
