Comments Thread For: Wilder Erupts on Hearn: You're a Disease, DAZN is Trash

[Boksfan]

Donkey Wilder needs a lesson in trash talk. This guy is a disgrace to his nation.

[Boxing Goat]

The champ speaking like a champ.

I hope he takes it out on Joshua in April 2019 at Wembly

[True That]

They are really building this fight up. Lol!

I wouldn't be surprised if this was all in the plan to build this fight up to a crescendo.

Seems like April 13th would be the right time to stop building and make it happen.

That was funnier than a one legged man in an a@@ kicking contest.

When the truth hurts it stings real bad. Lennox Lewis spoke truth as well.

Graaaaaaammm squuuuuaaaad

[SN!PER]

Dont sign with these bums. Get smart and join the Premier Boxing Champions.

Hearn CLEARLY does not want to make the wilder fight. Offering $15mil flat for a fight that will generate over $100mil EASILY was disrespectful and he thought wilder would not take it. Well, he did, so hearn pulled other reasons to not make the fight.

[Biolink]

no way show time pays him 5 mill a fight

Ooo 5 million. As if that's life changing money. I could see if you said 8-10 million. Deontay doesn't need money THAT badly. He's been a 7 figure fighter for a few years now and has that Everlast endorsement.

I want to see Wilder vs Fury!

"No top US fighter signing [to fight on DAZN], that ****'s trash." I'm inclined to agree with Wilder on that point. As long as major US networks air US fighter's matches, why shun them to sign with a European-based app?

... maybe because streaming is the future in entertainment?... why do you think that, out of the blue, Showtime endorsed that $50 ($100) million offer?... they know what is coming...

Yeah but there are better US apps available right now. ESPN+ and Showtime show boxing via app. There's no incentive to go to a European startup that doesn't have the distribution of the US providers.

ESPN has access to 91 million homes in the US (no numbers on app subs yet)

Showtime is in over 30 million US households (and have over 4 million app users)

DAZN has about 200k global subscribers
