If Hearn Can't Sign Some Name PBC Free Agents Who Does He Sign For This DAZN Project?

[Eff Pandas]

Its a false premise though. He has a bigger budget than Showtime and HBO combined. So he has $65m+. If he is struggling to sign fighters he can just up the offer. He could offer 4 guys, 2 fights a year deal and still have $25m leftover. He will sign fighters its just a question of how many.

Well I'm not making up that some pundits have been saying PBC guys aren't jumping ship to go to DAZN like Hearn thought or that Broner was doing some acting with calling Hearn's deal a slave contract.

I guess this thread goes to show its Haymon guys or Hearn is f#cked doe cuz I've not seen one free agent named that wasn't a PBC guy.

Because Eddie has said he's already signed fighters and knows the main event for his September card. On twitter he was asked if he had signed Garcia and he replied which one? suggesting he's looking to sign both. He already has a good relationship with Kenny Porter. My guess is his first show will be Porter v Garcia in September.

Oh nice. I haven't been up to date over the weekend and Hearn does baout 20 interviews a day, hard to keep up haha.

Isn't it Netflix for Sports more or less?

DAZN would be Netflix. And Hearn would be like whoever goes out to find shows worth Netflix's investment with the quality Netflix wants or a director signed to Netflix directing his own films for Netflix.

... it should be something like that... but we still don't know what the term "sports" does mean --- other than boxing...

To me that says what they will be pursuing elsewhere was my point. So virtually EVERYTHING is what "sport" will mean.

And HBO were putting on the best shows before Haymon's PBC gambit pretty much squeezed them out of the sport.

What?!?!? Haymon fighters were banned from HBO by HBO. And people like yourself cheered the decision because you were covinced Haymon squeezing out a cpl extra hundred thousand from billion dollar corporations was going to be the death of the sport

[Idunnoshet]

You think a guy in Norfolk, VA or Milwaukee, WI is gonna spend $20(?) a month to watch Daniyar Yeleussinov?

And isn't that guy signed with the UK end of Hearn's promotion anyway?

I think the poster is the guys family/friend or even manager to be dropping his name outta nowhere .

... I know that... but my initial dilemma was linked to the unbelievable money figure advanced by the Matchroom/DAZN venture... it didn't match anything DAZN is doing elsewhere...
