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

[WallabeeKing]

It honestly takes me 5-10 minutes to find a good stream. I'll buy a dub sack instead.

[Bob Haymon]

I don't see too many fighters immediately jumping ship and abondoning the promoters and networks that have put in work building them up but this is certain to have a major impact.

[Boxnation fan]

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

You're the only person actually asking an intelligent question.

I've worked in the Media since 2002 and i can guarantee you that this is going to be a complete and utter Flop of massive proportions.

It also won't last longer then 24 months at the most and is not worth close to the 1 Billion thats been reported but people lap up Hearns BS in the same way they do with Trump.

DAZN isn't going to get enough Americans to subscribe with the likes of Spence, Charlo brothers, Wilder, Broner and Thurman...No one cares about them.

This isn't some speculative opinion...i know it won't work.

I hope our american cousins like the song 'sweet caroline' lol

Here's the sell

Hearn knows wilder is gonna spark aj & he wants wilder signed to him.

This deal will be used as an excuse to duck wilder unless Hearn holds all the cards.
He won't put aj near wilder nor will he pay him a decent fee to fight without signing.
Hearn will look to keep aj safe with his fights for a few years if wilder doesn't sign.

Hearn will start to talk about the bigger picture and how everything's exciting and wilders not doing enough...

It's all smoke and mirrors to duck wilder or sign him up as Hearn knows wilder will take Joshua out...
Whoever has wilder will run the game. Hearn knows this..

So he's gonna try and shut wilder out to devalue him or sign himself, this deal will be his platform

you messing fool wilder is worthless brings in buttons he will be begging for a peice of the eddie pie . he will get all the top fighters now loma triple G canelo tank spence and hes already got joshua hearn just changed the game

[miked85]

Not impressed, and I don’t be impressed until promoters get together and create a league with a CBA and belts,

Nothing else impresses me, more promoters with more dates, with no credible signed fighters doesn’t do it for me

Create a boxing league a la UFC then I’ll get excited

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

Get a grip dude. Hearn didn't "take" America. I know you Brits love him but, you have to join us in the real world. First, you have a British guy who no one here gives a **** about offering yet ANOTHER ****ing monthly paid streaming site that we didn't ask for or even heard of, in a sport that we really don't watch much of. He didn't name ONE SINGLE top fighter signing, not ONE single big match. It sounds cool. Hearn will probably make bank but he didn't take ****. This actually his disater written all over it. I personally love boxing but here, we don't all rush to watch free boxing do you think we are going to pay for DAZN?

[EnglishOxide]

Hmm.

So it's roughly $112m to stage 16 shows per year.

Plenty of fighters are going to be wanting them regular paydays.

[suffolkbull3]

need some help fellas.. i dont get this whole streaming business and why its becoming so big? i can only speak of myself when i say i like watching good fights on tv.

i would never pay $10/ month to watch substandard fights.

can someone explain to me why the streaming business is gonna be the next big thing?

thanks in advance

[PensionKiller]

Never heard of Dazn but now I have... So it's working I guess.

I had box nation before but hardly any good fights turned me off.

If this can bring boxing under one umbrella like the ufc in a way, sell fighters to become huge stars and famous like ufc fighters are now, then why not?

We need to build then up on social media, have a show like the contender again etc
