Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade To Sign With Matchroom, Fight on DAZN

[BigZ44]

Warren would sell it for peanuts to somebody else rather than sell the rights to Hearn for any amount.

This is Frank Warren we are talking about, him and Hearn aren't friends to say the least .

Warren would literally rather take the financial hit than sell Hearn the rights.

Yep, Warren ain't doing a damn thing to help Hearn, he is the most bitter man in the universe, like the human equivalent of The Grinch

[Vinnykin]

That's why I'm saying let Warren take the hit Neither fighter is a big draw but Saunders is bigger in the UK than Andrade is in America. Andrade isn't a UK fighter so Eddie shouldn't waste his team headlining a show for Andrade in the UK when he knows all the big fights in the MW division for Andrade are in the US. Let Warren put on the show and buy the US broadcast rights

I get what you're saying, but Andrade/Saunders with a good undercard would do ok in the U.S, and he just signed Andrade so I would expect him to take it to purse.

Think of this scenario. Andrade signs to Matchroom USA, goes over to the U.K and loses a decision to BJS.... what next for your newly signed fighter? it just doesn't make sense going forward. A good plan for Hearn would be to stage it in the U.S or U.K himself after winning a purse bid which wouldn't be that high btw. If Andrade wins he has a MW title, maybe 2 if Jacobs wins.... their next fight in the U.S could be a MW unification!

Who cares if it's not a big crowd, I'm sure some people would get Dazn for at least that month to watch the fight and whatever other fight they stage that month, the other fight could be bigger?

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

You can't sell it if nobody is buying it. Arum has nobody at MW so why would he show BJS or Andrade on ESPN? Andrade has an exclusive deal with DAZN so HBO/SHO aren't going to buy it. Who is he going to sell it to?

You're missing the point, Warren would not sell Hearn the rights regardless of there potentially being zero other offers.

Exactly the point! Andrade is not exactly a box office draw or a pay per view star in America. Therefore, Hearn shouldn't try to break the bank in order to win this purse bid so he can stick it to Warren.

Ehh If you say so. I guess you know better than me the history between the two

[True That]

Lol, BOXINGEGO is going to be tossing and turning in his sleep tonight.

Andrade was broke & desperate. Eddie found his first American sucker for Deez Nuts.

Sadly this is likely true. Signed up to fight on a platform stateside where nobody will see you. This really doesn't do anything for his career imo.

Even if he wins the belt. All the other champions are HBO fighters. They won't fight on Dazn. I don't see how this gets him those fights.

I agree. How many people are expected to sign up for Dazn 25,000?

Danny has a deal with HBO. Not sure he'd be able to just fight on DAZN at Hearn's discretion.

Don't know the details of that deal, but I doubt they'd just let him walk and risk a loss that's not benefiting their network.
