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

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

That's what theyre going to have to do, make an immediate impact. It would never work if they were only going to make fights relative to how many subscribers they have. Its going to be haemorrhaging money for years.

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

Arum is trying to get any good fights on ESPN. Has nothing to do with Top Rank. ESPN is the one putting up the money for the rights and having Arum working on securing them for ESPN. Hearn can throw all the money he wants at Warren if he Warren wins the purse bid, Warren could say screw u Hearn and put it on a network that will have more viewers, no matter the money Hearn will throw out to get it on DAZN.

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

ESPN+ has shown a ton of Warren cards already and had Berchelt's fight against Barros in Mexico. They are also scheduled to show Billy Dib vs Tevin Farmer down in Australia

Did any of those opponents on Warren's card have a US promoter with a broadcasting deal in the US?

I think Warren and Arum have an agreement, Boxnation gets all Top Ranks cards aswell.

I do know they have an agreement for box nation to get Top Rank cards. Not positive about the other way around. Did they show the last card with Tyson Fury on ESPN or the app?

That's a good point, Fury was on Showtime Youtube, think Frampton was aswell, Selby/Warrington. Yeah must be a one way deal then for Boxnation to have Top Rank exclusive

[MC Hammer]

Good for a fighter with as limited promotion as Andrade has had. And its consistent money from fighting which is another thing that has seemed to allude him.

[Fanofreason]

Another fighter that does not move the needle at all for Dazn.

[McNulty]

Smartest move Andrade has made his whole career.

Why do you say that?

Matchroom hasn't done anything for Jacobs.
