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

[Gbenopix]

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

Wilder fan girls keep getting crazy day by day.

Wilder fan girls keep getting crazy day by day.

Fight should be announced soon then eh?
AJ wanted 50 mil...Hearn just wanted to confirm. Offer is acknowledged as legit. Fight's next then?

Easy to make fight when they buying & overpaying. Now they don't need to. They have the deal they asked for

So fights next eh?

Oh wait...

Ya pair of casuals 😂

[ukbox]

As usual boxingscene will break this story into as many as possible.
It's already in print that Hearn is using this deal to lure wilder. If that's what he wants & he clearly does.
Who honestly believes he will let aj(his biggest fighter) face wilder without wilder signed to Hearn stable.
Now Hearn knows wilder can generate 50mil plus with "no real promotion " he also knows the risk with wilder....that's why he's far more cautious than the 4 fights AJ is built on.

Stable of 30 fighters will be announced end of next month

Fun times.

I don’t think the average person even wants to pay $5 for ESPN+

It doesn't seem like its a fully actualized product yet. I feel like every couple days they are adding things to it. At some point I suspect it'll be a must have for sports fans.

I think it was during the olympics during boxing on the nbc app you could turn off the commentary. That alone might be worth the $20 lol

Thats actually something I'll love about streaming. Ability to turn off commentary & just listen to the "ring" sounds. Man I wish we could go back on every great fight in history & watch it without these old dipsh^ts talking about nothing half the time.

"Hey waiter. Just give me some violence, hold the talking."

So apparently his budget of $125m per year is going to be distributed into 12 regular shows and four massive ones. Joshua vs Wilder to take place on DAZN? American fans should be pretty happy if they can get a fight like that for $20 instead of the customary $70-100

A billion over 8 years is much less than big Al squandered in 2.5. However I trust Eddie won’t screw the pooch the way the PBC did. The more boxing the better as long as their good fights!

I’m sure Skipper and Eddie celebrated with more than a few bumps! (google John Skipper and you’ll see what I’m talking about)

[Eff Pandas]

Hmm, it seems like DAZN is only launching for the US market. I guess the deal with HBO will just expire?

Hell man with HBO's budget & lack of dedication to boxing would they even want to eff with Hearn on this level if they wanted to? Idk honestly, but I suspect they couldn't.

So I wouldn't be surprised if this HBO/Hearn thing is short lived. Although who knows I don't think it'd be awful to continue with Jacobs & Big Baby maybe.

Most of the people on this thread are as thick as Pig S hit.

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 even close to the 1 Billion thats been reported but the ****** ignorant idiots on this site lap it up like the idiots who lap up the same BS from that other liar Trump.

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

Dazn is going to produce complete rubbish tv programs that no one is going to care about and the whole thing is going to be a big bust.

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

Oh and its not 1 Billion you idiots who believe that!

Nobody had heard of Netflix. Then it took down Blockbuster.

They have to start somewhere and boxing isn't the only sport that is going to be streamed. The

Boxing is at an all time low in terms of overall popularity so I'm intrigued to see how they are going to market and promote the events.

[Butch.McRae]

Who's going to pay $20/month for a boxing only app? Lol something is missing here.

I'll reserve judgement but this looks like much ado about nothing right now.
