Comments Thread For: Hearn, Perform Group Reveal Details of '$1 Billion' Venture

[Straightener]

Eddie hearn is the man took america just like he said he would and the boxing world is all the more better for it he cares about his fighters gets them the best deals. and hes revamped the uk scene i expect him to rebuild the american market the same way too finaly be rid of dodgey snakes like oscar and arum

He is slick as f**k to be fair to Hearn

Didn’t take him long did it

[Chrismart]

I thought that all sounded pretty good. And that's a lot of money !

I'm very interested to see what fighters Matchroom USA go after now.

Rest assured all the Hearn naysayers will be here shortly to tell us how much of a snake he is, how he will never compete with Haymon and how the fighters at PBC know they're at the best place right now...

Fighting once a year... their stock falling for ever decreasing paydays.

The days of the PBC overpaying for absolute **** to protect belts but fail to promote their holders properly are over. The days of selling off lighting and rigging equipment to protect costs are over.

The days of asking world champions to relinquish their belts like peter quillin are over.

He can't make the same mistake that Haymon did when he received his big investment and just carry on business as usual except on a bigger budget. He needs to use this opportunity to make great fights from the offset, completely update the boxing model

Hearn has always made good fights, compelling fights & fights the fans wanna see for the last couple years. I'd be surprised if he changed his tune now.

Although I am detecting some sorta change in him with Joshua with this Wilder thing & desperately trying to throw Whyte into the mix, but I think the upside with Joshua is so big he's a lil nervous & scared of being the "dumb promoter who got Joshua beat" or something like that. That may have lil to do with him, but could end up being his legacy if he has a bad night with this Joshua thing.

Spence, Charlo brothers, Wilder, Broner, Thurman to start. Should be interesting who he picks up, but I believe he's picking up some players when he does pick em up. Might take a few months.

And if he picks up enough of them Zuffa Boxing is gonna look like Roc Nation with picking the scraps so they need to be jumping out there & picking up some more dudes quick too.

Randomly who are some non-Haymon free agents or soon to be free agents? Anyone know?

Stable of 30 fighters will be announced end of next month

[HanzGruber]

Only problem is nobody in America has ever heard of dazn. And at $20 a month isn’t gonna fly

[EnglishOxide]

So where does this leave Sky and HBO? Do they still have TV deals or what?

[sicko]

I'm a BOXING FAN FIRST before anything so I'm all in and will proudly support it! Also Respects to Eddie, say what you want about him but he is always open to work with ALL compare to Promoters in the US so I think because of that this will be a Success because with this deal he likely gets to maintain that Open Invitation to ALL instead of signing with HBO and being forced to Draw Lines and limit who you can or cannot work with.

Look forward to seeing who he signs! The More Platforms for Boxing The Better it is for BOXING FANS!

It will be a Challenge to build up DAZN in the US though because of all the Competition particularly ESPN+

[Rip Chudd]

I'll wait to see what fighters he is able to pick up and put on this platform. If all he can muster is Danny Jacobs and a few John Molina's and can't draw any of Haymon's guys away then I don't know if i'll be interested. For 20 bucks a month there better be some fighters on there I want to see
