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

[boliodogs]

Andre and Saunders have been ordered to fight for the title. If either man backs out of this fight they don't deserve to be thought of as a true champion in my opinion. Andre would be the best guy Saunders ever fought and Saunders would be the best guy and first good middleweight Andre ever fought.

Arum and ESPN will surely buy it. They have been trying to pick up fights to fill dates no matter the promoter. ESPN is trying to get Whyte/Parker on ESPN

Have they shown any non Top Rank fighters on ESPN or the app yet?

Pretty sure Warren will have a deal with BJS to win the purse bid but it would be hilarious if Hearn won and put it on Sky.

Just Prograis this weekend but I think this is something they worked out with DiBella

Saunders has faced good Middleweights. Eubank, Lee, ect. This is a good fight.

This is where the DAZN money changes things. Warren has to bid on the fight from a business perspective, how many tickets he can sell, how much will BT Sport put in. Those concerns don't affect Hearn as much, he just has to provide loaded cards, thatll pull in subscribers, doesn't matter if his guys getting the lower percentage.

Hearn might have the money but it doesn't mean he's just going to throw out millions for a fight that could lose money. Does it even make sense to throw out 5+ million to the fighters and the fight brings in around a million in revenue? DAZN would need millions of suscribers in order for that to work

Yep. That's the only one I can think of. Eddie will be better off just letting Warren host it and pay for the US rights. But he's also gotta start announcing more cards on DAZN because im' not wasting my free trial just for Andrade

Yes they have. They showed the Khan fight. The fight this weekend with Prograis and also did the Berchelt fight. Arum is hoping to get the Whyte/Parker fight as well. So it's not out of the question that this fight could be on ESPN

Top Rank is Parker's US promoter. Prograis and Dibella has a deal with Top Rank. But we'll see. I don't see Bob throwing a lot of money at this fight when one of the fighters promoters has their own US platform to broadcast the fight. Berchelt didn't have a US platform to broadcast the fight
