DAZN USA Signing Predictions

[Accolade]

Eddie Hearn first said he'd announce his US stable at the end of June (https://www.boxingscene.com/six-figh...n-deal--128658), but that date changed to July 17th*, which is one week from now. Deontay Wilder, Errol Spence, the Charlo brothers, Dmitry Bivol, Adrien Broner, Mikey Garcia, and Tank Davis have publicly declined. Terence Crawford, Vasyl Lomachenko, and GGG are obviously not signing. Who was Eddie able to get? Injury prone and irrelevant Keith Thurman? Unknown and rusty Demetrius Andrade? I'm curious.

Really? Well, the opening question still stands.

[KTFOKING]

I'd venture to guess the likes of Andrade/Bivol/Relikh/Beterbiev/etc. Hearn still thinks he has a chance with Garcia, but let's see how that plays out.

Obviously some of the prospects and amateurs. If he's smart, he will try to lock up Khalil Coe but doubt that happens.

Bivol has fought on his cards before, it wont be hard to bring him to fight on DAZN he doesnt have to actually sign him.. the same with any fighter.

Broner apparently came back after giving off the whole slavedeal **** on his insta and got ignored, but now somehow has managed to pull a rabbit out of his arse if this 50 mil deal with TMT is true.

Garcia actually looks likely, he's spoken highly of hearn saying he knows what makes money and i think theyre waiting until after his next fight to get things started again in terms of talks.

Lets face it, unless hearn pulls a huge one and names every, and i mean every PBC fighter out of the bag underneath everyones noses, the vast majority on here will slag him off.

If i was American, id much rather pay 20 a month to see more competitive bouts than pay my cable subscriptions to see PBC mismatches with only the occasional great fight that i could just stream.

but hey... im white and british so my opinion doesnt count for that

[Phenom]

I could see Thurman signing a couple of fights I thought Garcia would too didn't know he publicly declined

He won't poach Haymon guys I said it from the start he should've looked at working with him instead of coming in like he is changing the game

Bivol came out on June 29th dismissing the DAZN talk as "just rumors." Is it plausible that Eddie Hearn convinced him in the past 11 days?

I think Bivol will be on there, but not signed with Matchroom. Hearn will do a deal with World of Boxing, same as hes done with Beterbiev and GYM. Think youll get a lot of that, smaller promoters doing deals to feature fighters on DAZN Matchroom cards.

If he isn't signing fighters for the long-term, I don't see how he'll be able to convince people to subscribe and stay subscribed. Also DAZN has no reputation in the United States and their first cards can only be so great given the lack of stars they could possibly sign. It's hard to believe this will be anything but a flop.

What American fighters do you think he will sign? What foreign fighters with appeal to American fans do you think he will sign?
