Fat Dan said Hearn has 0 signed

[LacedUp]

It's 16 USA and 16 UK DAZN will showcase 32 fights in the USA

Eddie Hearn said it himself it has a budget of around 3M per event and said that they will have to do the production which will come out of the budget obviously

Too lazy to look up the videos guy does like 20 interviews a day if someone posts it I would appreciate it

No there's no UK DAZN. They don't even have a UK platform or plans to launch it there.

They'll do 16 shows a year all in the U.S. Some 3-4 will be more expensive (10-12m per show) and the rest will still be better than the Showtime / HBO shows (according to EH).

So the 7.8m is the average across all shows.

If that's the case why is the offer to Broner $ 6.75 M for 3 fights on a 24M budget ? Where is the rest of 17.25 going

If Hearn was working with 8M budget per event he wouldn't be struggling to sign fighters

eeerr because not all fights are going to include the "calibre" and i use that term loosely.. of adrien broner. Hearn also confirmed in that video that whilst adding it all up it comes to 8 mil a card, some cards arent going to be as good as others, and he is looking to put on at least 3 or 4 super good cards.

So whatever he does not spend on the lower tier quality cards he will have in reserve for paying higher purses on the more popular cards.

if you can point me to a card where the headliner has been earning 1 million or over, and the preliminary fight or any undercard fighter has earned near that amount i would be more than happy to see it and admit that i may be incorrect.

Adrien broner may earn more than his announced 1 mil per purse through payments from showtime or haymon or through PBC but that does not mean he will forever be worth that.

Hearn offered him the deal he did on a three fight basis, irrespective of results. He has failed to shine against any opposition that is even considered remotely a live dog, and given that, i cannot see uncle Al or showtime supplementing broners purses should he continue with his current form.

Basically, what im trying to say is, broner does not look at the future, to some extent he doesnt even examine the present because if he did he would make improvements to his game. He seems to be in a wonder dust world of thinking he will continue to get the paydays he is on his current performances.

That simply will not be the case. So if i was Broner, and im not improving to the level or ability that i want to, i would take hearns free money for my branding because of his somewhat unlearned knowledge of my demographic market, than stay with Al and have my purses cut due to my **** boxing.

I'm like the only poster on this forum who actually believes Whyte can accomplish some good things in the sport

Haha. But respect. I remember when I was repping Tyson Fury & NO ONE or FEW were seeing what I was seeing. Felt satisfying when he outclassed Klitschko...still feel nice despite him sh^tting the bed since then & fans never giving Fury full credit for that W for one reason or another.

I am pretty anti-Whyte getting as much attention as he does, mainly cuz I think he's been given too many points for giving a earlier version of Joshua some tense moments (+ a to a lesser degree his amateur W over Joshua) & not much else achieved in the ring as far as W's go. But in my anti-Whyte stance I realize this is the HW division, sh^t is crazy & Joshua + Wilder are HIGHLY beatable. Anyone thinking Joshua or Wilder can't be KO'd vs TBA in their next fight is fanboying on one or both guys too much.

Just out of curiousity what can you see Whyte doing in the next couple years with Hearn pushing him hard? How do you like his chances vs the top guys? Who do you think he definitely can beat or definitely won't beat?

Still rooting against Whyte cuz f#ck me that whole team & their tactics to get fights/attention is annoying, but I'm rooting for you getting some Whyte moment of greatness at whatever the highest level he can achieve it is at.

[Eff Pandas]

Especially considering how much he pays judges and officials for early stoppages. Must be getting it all supplemented from that imaginary StubHub touting money

[Eff Pandas]

Its fine if they want to believe its only $3mil a card. When the cards get announced they can try and figure out how the hell Hearn managed it with only $3mi, including production, lol.

Is that $125M/year just for Hearn & those 16 shows? I've been unclear on that since this whole thing got announced, but that $3M per show number definitely seemed too low doing the math for all this boxing & all that money.

Will Hearn need to pay Sky something to broadcast their shows that will be on DAZN? Or will the rumored WBSS 2nd season that allegedly will be on DAZN be paid outta that $125M?

[Eff Pandas]

1billion over 8 years. 16 shows a year. 7.8million a show.

They're doubling the average showtime / HBO card

I don't think during HBO hot streak they ever had a period where they spent $1B on boxing in a 8 year stretch. This is gonna be one of the most compelling times to be a boxing fan ever if this works out even a lil bit.

If no one was around for those HBO gravy days pretty much any fight that people wanted to see got made & there were big names fighting each other much more often back then. With this much money that should be able to happen again or something pretty much like it should be able to happen again.

Looking forward to this sooooooo much. Like a kid on Christmas Eve.

I think if DAZN has the WBSS it will be a separate deal. The moneys to break the US market. Not sure about paying rights for Skys fights but if it did youd think it would work both ways and Sky would have to pay something for the DAZN cards.

Hes been doing some interviews, heres some new stuff

🤨 Eddie Hearn claims Adrien Broner has now come back to him since posting his first offer on Instagram and labeling it a "slave deal", but he decided not to reply to AB. [@Boxing_Social]

I'll trust Eddie over Big Dan...

Agree, will take months to get signings, they aren’t done instantly

F#ck so DAZN could be paying $1B or $125M a year for this Hearn thing + whatever it would be paying the WBSS if that info is true on top of it? These cats definitely making a huge investment in boxing. Arguably the biggest deal in boxing history. Sh^t is getting real.

Not sure about paying rights for Skys fights but if it did youd think it would work both ways and Sky would have to pay something for the DAZN cards.

Well if Sky is paying Hearn for the card for Sky & they outsource it to DAZN to I'd assume DAZN would pay for it & not vice versa or some canceling itself out situation. It'd be like Box Nation picking up a random HBO or Showtime card.

LOL oh Broner never change bruh. I hope someone is filming EVERYTHING behind the scenes with Broner right now & have been for awhile. It'd be a masterclass documentary that'd kill it at Sundance on how to f#ck sh^t up & make bad decisions.

Technically thats old news ain't it? Or just the wording might be different cuz I'm not sure if "world champions" was used in its previous news blurb about these signings.
