    First off you don't have to commit to the $240 a year, there is no contract. Which means you can pay $20 at a time, if there is a big fight on in a month then you are paying $20, if there are 2 or 3, bonus I guess. How many shows are HBO committed to per year? How many are Showtime? I can tell you the answer, not enough. Which is why fighters are on the shelf for so long.

    The big picture you guys are missing is that Hearn is armed with the $125 million per year. For 32 shows (16 UK, 16 US), that is an average of $4 million per show, obviously a good portion of that will be for fighters, he can make some serious fights happen, those fights that we want to see but there is never enough reward for the fighters.

    I'm really surprised at the 'Blockbuster' mentality with some of you guys, anyone worth their salt knows that streaming is the future and a big threat to networks, and the 'old ways'. Why do you think every top of the line tv now has built in wifi, smart features, netflix, amazon prime, etc.etc.?

    You are letting your perception of a man affect your ability to see something pretty exciting, and then accusing people of doing the same. Its completely bizarre, but I guess ignorance is bliss.
    Didn't read your fanboy apologist propaganda. I must be right about a great number of things for you to be so threatened by me that you constantly try to attack what I say.

        LOL I don't think you are right about anything here.

        When you are right, you are right, and I will always give credit, that goes for any poster here.

        This reply encapsulates your ignorance.

          I'm sure eventually it will be in most countries, and similar platforms also.

            You're so frustrated that you can never get one up on me that you resort to the very predictable, "you see ignorant, bla, bla".
            No one here gives you any respect so you try to hump the leg of people like me.
            Try again when you can conjure an original thought. Until then, off my nuts kid. Stop following me around.

              LOL - really? I wish I was young enough to still be called 'kid', and I'm not the one that is getting personal now, so maybe it is you that is frustrated.

              I literally couldn't give a second thought about respect from a bunch of people I don't know on a boxing forum, I don't come here for attention, or recognition like so many, I come to talk boxing, share and debate opinions, plain and simple.

              You have tried to turn this into some personal bickering contest but I'm not that person.

                Oh and as long as we both post here, I will still continue to call you out on BS, and agree if you make a good point. That is the whole ****ing point! Next time, try and actually read my post and reply accordingly, when someone doesn't share your opinion, don't react like a child.

                  Sounds exciting.

                  They can’t do silly stuff and pay Gary Russell $1 million to fight Hyland like has happened. Those kind of deals put a huge spanner in the works.

                  Hyland, A man who was subsequently knocked over by Josh Warrington in a leisure centre in Leeds.

                  They have an opportunity here to say ‘no showcases’ just real fights and if you lose that’s fine. There’s more dates.

                  I like how Eddie makes a big deal of Broner. Broner is perfect for this type of platform. He doesn’t take soft touches.

                  As a boxing fan you might as well get behind it I guess.

                      I cannot see that dazn being a success on this side of the pond. $20 a month for matchroom promoted fights simply is not worth it. As far as NFL, nhl, baseball etc we just turn on our TV.

                      Hearn better drastically increase the amount of American fighters he has signed or it is going to flop big time over here.

                      From what I have read about dazn, it seems primarily focused on sports popular in Europe. Over here the sports are different
