Man I dont want to be condescending to you but I dont think you appreciate the scale of what they want to do. They want to take out the market from the start. Take Hearn out of this, its a company thats gunna spend more yearly than HBO and Showtime combined, they cant compete.
This is how we get the best fighting the best, and the belt organizations losing control. The sport as the fans want it.Comment

Haha "condescending" been drinking for a few hours no idea where the word come from.

That maybe my favorite aspect of this whole thing. I've always said idk why they don't make PPV's the whole card for us boxing dorks & then just the main event for the casual fan. Granted this isn't PPV, but I can't wait to watch prelims more often & get to see more up & coming guys on a regular basis on the comeup.It's effectively a Sky/DZN partnership. They will both show Eddie's 20 UK dates and 16 US dates. Its going to be interesting to see how the other broadcasters respond given Eddie will show the full card. Every young upcoming fighter will want to be on to get TV exposure.Comment

This sh^t gives me the biggest boxing fan boner everrrrrr. Was excited when Haymon made his play. He came up short (although some still are believers, respect to them). Now we got these mfers out of nowhere DAZN. Lets make it happen soldiers.Comment

I think Haymon had positive effects & impact on boxing. Anytime you bring in some new ideas & competition you make things more interesting more often than not. But idk if there is a W to be had for Haymon even if boxing has likely gotten a W from Haymon's risk.
Although that might sound too negative cuz I think Haymon is gonna be a boxing bad ass as long as he wants to be, but idk about all these big contract, 100M+/year sorta TV deals being in the cards the way things are looking.
Yeah it is hard to see anyone topping a one billion dollar deal however me personally I don't think anyone makes a plan to compete with billionaires and doesn't think of a profitable way out for themselves.Comment

This might be the best idea I've ever seen on this websiteComment

The real dream is the hook up though. Maybe you get Broner/Khan, Hurd/Brook, couple of pinkies in the water. Then it takes off, then Haymons "**** it, Im off too". Man, goddamn Haymon, one time you want an interview.
Haha Hearn talking about NDAs, Haymon may be in the front seat with him all we knowComment
