Comments Thread For: Six Fighters Agree To Join Eddie Hearn In DAZN Deal

[SkillspayBills]

Eddie actually made a really good point. If you have 16 shows a year then you only need about 7 headlining fighters who would get it on 2 to 3 times a year and you can fill out the rest of the cars with your prospects and up and comers.

I'd be surprised if he was going into this without some decent guys already all but signed. It's risky if not.

If it were someone good that name would've been broadcast in its own headline as a way to get others to hop aboard. No name mentioned so probably no one of note has come over. If I am a high profile fighter, I'm gonna bleed hearn in order to make the switch. at least 8 million a fight because he needs my name to advertise.

On another note, this would be a good deal for Andrade because he gets NO activity.

This sort of dumb approach is what makes fighters go broke.

See a good deal when it’s offered to you. Eddie Hearn is not a dumb guy, and some idiot fighter trying to get way way overpaid his value won’t happen.

Cool!

I hope Hearn signs this guy:

When you can't even get Adrien Broner to sign for you, you know thats not a good sign!

Get ready for has beens like Chavez Jr to be announced watched by an audience of 1,003 viewers on DAZN in front of 900 people.

Hearn just isn't as good a promoter as some of you Americans seem to think.

SKY BOXING are the Powerhouse and Marketing brain behind Matchroom shows...they were before him and will be after him.

If you have SKY BOXING, you have a powerful brand behind you that has fingers in a lot of other Media Pies.

Without SKY BOXING, look at Hearns two American Shows...complete busts and made Danny Jacobs stock drop like Enron Shares.

Without SKY BOXING, Hearn is just another average promoter in America who doesn't understand his audience.

He doesn't have the reported 1 Billion, not even close to that in the first two years and his shows are going to be full of second and third tier fighters no one cares about and certainly not enough for Americans to buy into DAZN.

Why didn’t Sky make these shows before Eddie came along?

**** me, I remember Nathan Cleverly vs TBA with an 8 round area title as chief support.

Eddie changed the game in the UK WITH Sky, Sky had basically given up on boxing before he came.

I seem to remember that Frank Warren had dual rights for boxing on sky with Eddie back when he first got into the game ... But pissed it all into the wind because his cards were ****e and he couldn't move with the times. Boxnation fan probably won't remember that..conveniently.

Nor will be remember the promotional companies that have had to fold or liquidate under Warren for piss poor financial management..funny how matchroom boxing hasn't had bad books under Eddie eh.

It's all their on companies house.. but boxnation fan is too busy shoving his digits up his arse massaging his prostate over Daniel Dubois.

Mikey Garcia is one of the fighters I bet surprised he doesn't have a fight announced

[lefthooklead]

If they can do buildups to the fight like old HBO Programming then they can really get a big audience.

One of the things that made HBO famous was the hour build up going into the fighters life and career discussing current and future matchups.

I like where Hearn is heading. I can’t wait to see his first show!

The content definitely sounds interesting and innovative. IF he gets the fighters then it could be really good.

[lefthooklead]

Seems like the most important part of the article is missing lmao. Who are the 6 fighters?

“Broner putting that out spurned another 30-40 calls”
Lmao yea right

Hearn Oct. 2017
Already, since the announcement with Daniel Jacobs…the phone’s been going mad with other fighters. ‘I’m not active enough. No one’s promoting me. Can I work with you?

Still haven’t signed one fighter I’m starting to think Hearn is full of shyt

Haha, yeah Hearn is full of *****. He is a pathological liar and hes damn good at lying. His thing is to talk soooooo much ***** that you dont remember half of the ***** that he's said.

He does make some moves though and is a good hypeman. It's all about hype at this stage...drum up the interest to make everyone think it's the best place to go, make it sound like your phone is off the hook, that nothing is going wrong and every setback is miraculously turned into a great thing.

The guy tried to sign Fury and Frampton and couldn't. Then when asked if he was annoyed claimed he didn't care, even before when asked what his worst moment in boxing was he said it was when Frampton left him originally!

Pretty sure it was actually 4 ways...Frank Warren, Frank Maloney, Hearn and Hatton.

The quality of the shows was crap and Eddie convinced Sky to jack them all in and give him an exclusive deal. Worked out pretty well overall.
