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

[Clegg]

I think Porter is a solid bet to be one of the guys now although I did see the other day where PBC is on top of the Porter vs Garcia fight which I thought could end up being one of the first fights on DAZN. But maybe that just means his fight post-Danny will be on DAZN.

And again is Kovalev a free agent? Duva's ***** gonna dry up again if she loses Kovalev + I've just assumed she'd do w/e she needed to do to keep him signed.

Is it for sure that all guys signing with DAZN are gonna sign with Matchroom? Makes sense to do it that way and it's what Hearn will want, but if he's looking at a set number of dates and Duva says 'I'll stage 3 Kovalev cards in the next year and you can have just the broadcasting rights' does Hearn go for it? Bivol seems to work with Hearn and Duva so maybe they already co-promote and will just do that on a set number of events.

Regarding what you said about Pac, I think Hearn would put him in a big UK fight against Khan, fill a DAZN date plus get the UK PPV, gate money. Especially if it's true that Pac is avoiding fighting in the US for tax reasons.

I don’t think so. I just think Duva’s stable would do well to make a deal with Hearn.

Regarding Porter, yeah he’s fighting Garcia next. And I don’t think he’ll get with Hearn after, but if you asked me to choose from that list, he’s most likely. I don’t see the others biting and they’re pretty much saying this.

I still feel like JCC Jr will sell seats if promoted right so I don't think that'd be a bad B level pick up who you might be able to make an A level guy potentially.

Ishe isn't a bad guy to pickup like Curtis Stevens as a middle of the card filler guy or a solid B side in a bigger fight, but he's not a free agent he's with Mayweather Promotions & I feel like he's one of the most loyal MP guys so I HIGHLY doubt he'd leave MP.

Rosado would be in that same vein. Ishe & Gabe will fight anyone. Thats a highly valuable commodity when you got a bit of a name on top of that. Isn't Gabe signed to Lou or someone doe?

Nah, I think Gabe is a free agent.

And those are the sort of names I think Hearn gets. Sort of the “B Group.” Of course, perhaps Mikey Garcia is a possibility but I’m not convinced about that either.

[MC Hammer]

No not at all, but that's not what you said.

Its exactly what I said. I said that I would ask for at least 8 mil a fight because I know that Hearn needs a big US name to get others to join. If I'm more than a fighter, but an advertisement as well, I would want a fee for both. You said that line of thinking was for "idiot fighters" who would "go broke".

Jermall is supposed to fight in August. Top middleweights ( except Derevyanchenko ) are outside PBC so I won't be surprised if he signs with Hearn / Arum

Who does Arum have at 160? Hearn has Jacobs, whose not a bigger name than Charlo and that fight can still be negotiated, but that's it. MW is a good division where all the fighters have different promoters so working together is non-negotiable.

Oh he's gonna get those names too I'd say more than those are the ones he gets.

If Hearn doesn't get 4-6 big name free agents then boxers are at a all time low in IQ. Too much money, too much opportunity to be promoted on a level they never have, too much chance for being a leader in something bigger, too little at risk if sh^t goes south.

I don't see Hearn getting Pacuqiao, but I have to think he'd still want him if possible. I'm sure he'd still love to make Pac/Khan.

[Eff Pandas]

I don’t think so. I just think Duva’s stable would do well to make a deal with Hearn.

Is Duva shopping her promotion? I assumed she was happy in this business. I'd be super surprised to hear she sold her promotion off to Hearn. She's super up HBO's ass too. She sees that as a means to making her boxers main****** or as big as possible.

And hell I think I'd be surprised if Hearn bought it. Seems like he's got such a good position & Duva such a secondary position to Hearn that Hearn could just ask & get random Main Event fighters on his cards if he has openings & cuz Duva has few options she'd ost non-Kovalev guys fight on DAZN.

Regarding Porter, yeah he’s fighting Garcia next. And I don’t think he’ll get with Hearn after, but if you asked me to choose from that list, he’s most likely. I don’t see the others biting and they’re pretty much saying this.

I ain't hear Thurman say it. And the Charlo's I thought were just asking for more money more than saying they wouldn't fight for Hearn. I think the Charlo's are a solid bet to end up on DAZN cuz they've been treated sh^tty by PBC & been pushed poorly for their potential upside.

Has Porter said he's not interested? Kenny not Shawn.

If Pacquiao is free, which is my biggest question with this Manny thing, why don't you think Hearn could get him?

I'm pretty confident I could have 1/3 of Pacquiao's sh^t if you gave me 15 minutes alone with him & a three card monte table setup.

I think Hearn could talk Manny into f#cking kitchen accessories if push came to shove let alone sign him to a deal.

My bad, I meant I think Pacquiao is still stuck in a slave deal with Arum, otherwise I'd bet on Eddie getting him. Although with how dumb Pac and his team are who knows what they would do?
