Comments Thread For: Hearn Will Announce at Least Eight U.S. Signings on July 17

[Nickhiggins]

Having the 3 division World Series of boxing tournaments on dazn on top of 16 American shows and 16 uk shows sounds a good deal to me! Almost a show every week or every other week!

Does Hearn and Arum have beef? I never hear Hearn mention Top Rank! I really felt Jacobs vs. Murata seemed like a no-brainer! Why fight Dervy in Brooklyn for peanuts, when you could be fighting Murata for major paper in Tokoyo?

I think Hearn and Arum actually get on pretty well . Hearn gives him alot of respect and I haven't heard arum say a bad word about him. He certainly hasnt had a problem making fights with him in the past such as Crawford / burns.

I think the plan for Jacobs is just derevyanchenko for the IBF and then use that as a weight to fight either a unification against BJS or go for the winner of Canelo / GGG

"In terms of the Mikey Garcias, the Charlos, we do need a flagship star guy like that,” he admitted."

Didn't this guy just say the Charlo brothers weren't stars just a month ago? Lol

Another point, he says Showtime is only doing 300 - 400k in homes lol somebody should tell him Showtime is broadcast in more than 30 million homes in the US. Spence did a live viewing audience number of 730k fighting a nobody. The weekly figures for replays and streaming was well over 1 million unique viewers (which is typical for primtime premium cable original content series).

DAZN has about 200k global subs total at this time. It's not comparable in terms of reach and distribution. This guy is sounding more and more like a cheap car salesman everyday.

I think he meant AJ's Showtime numbers.

Jacobs isn't leaving HBO before fighting Golovkin again or Alvarez

That's right, Jacobs signed a multi-fight deal with HBO. Slipped my mind for a moment.

Yeah, Hearn is a compulsive liar and is completely unashamed of it. He's relentless at spin, and is very good at talking. So good that unfortunately, most people don't pick up on the endless amount of contradictions, lies and spin that flows so eloquently from his gob.

Your point about Charlo is true. One minute 'no one knows him' but if he signs with DAZN then 'he's a star'. One minute he'd love to sign Frampton and thinks he's a huge star, the next he's not bothered by him signing with Frank. One minute he's saying he'd love to sign Fury, the next he says he isn't prepared to pay him for tune ups but then gets Khan LoGreco and Vargas.

I used to like Hearn and I recognize use he's done good for boxing in the UK but he's truly a lying, manipulating, spin doctor of a kunt.

Let's hope he gets some good names cause Chavez Jr isn't making anyone come out of their pockets to get DAZN

[Fanofreason]

Eddie better have 7 US fighters signed. If not its fraud and his Dazn deal is toast.

[sicko]

Good Luck to him but for DAZN to work in the US, Wilder vs AJ will have to be made eventually. America we've already seen Don King, Bob Arum so the America Audience is not a easy one to win over as he is finding out with Danny Jacobs ticket sales.

I do think building from the ground up with young talent is the best way to build a promotion instead of rushing out and overpaying guys to sign then struggling to find Dance Partners to put on Quality Match Ups the issue he is having with Danny Jacobs.

Hopefully its some big names in there
