    The two October shows will be better than the first 2 shows. Surely improving content is a sign of progress rather than failure.

    Besides, people are talking like he isn't going to sign or announce anyone else. Don't forget he has 14 other cards to fulfill after October, and so at least a dozen more fighters will have to be signed to be able to out on enough shows.

      Donald Trump represents the US of A and there is not a week gone by where he does not come across like a bumbling idiot... that's something that everybody sees. Naturally that isn't the case for all Americans but the President tends to be a representation of the people and that is the representation the people chose.

      That's not to say that everybody is ****** though of course, which leads me onto this:


      So in one post you have an issue with stereotypes and in the other you actively display them?

      Just as the US isn't filled solely with ****** people the idea that the UK is solely racist is downright ridiculous.

      Inevitably the UK's global standing has been damaged dramatically by Brexit (something that the US president supported by the way) but that doesn't change that the UK itself is diverse and that it's capital city is viewed as one of the most multi-cultural cities on Earth.
      You think my timeline of experience begins since Trump came into office you? My experiences predates Trump by years and years you mongoloid chimp peasant.

      Honestly, you sound insane. You either have a mental problem or are on drugs and even a combination of both.

      Next time you engage me like this, you're going into cold storage. Do we understand each other?

        First off I’m all for more boxing l, that’s a good thing

        Although I’m not a fan of Hearn ( putting it mildly ) I hope DAZN succeeds. But for me it’ll take a huge fight for me to want to watch it on my phone or IPad

        But my impression after the first roll out is DAZN is most likely f.ucked and not going to get much traction among US hardcore boxing fans or casuals. Even Hearn who is a used car salesmen and think he can sell sand in the desert appeared to know that he was presenting a polished turd

        Their face of the app AJ has allowed Hearn and himself to completely destroy his reputation in North America among most North American boxing fans l. He did sh.it #s on Showtime and I have a hard time believing that most fans will fork over $ to watch him fight now.

        The WBSS is great and should attract some hardcore fans to purchase the app

        Miller is nothing as far as a draw and probably be responsible for a couple hundred purchases ( I’m assuming family and friends )

        Katie Taylor maybe the best boxer since Muhammad Ali but women’s boxing is non existent and she isn’t hot enough to cross over so she won’t be adding sh.it to the equation

        Andrade is super talented but fights infrequently and has no buzz hopefully with DAZN that changes and he gets regular fights against top opposition but will his profile grow ? Hearn has done a horrible job with Jacobs who at least had some buzz coming off the GGg fight and beating down Quillen . I’m assuming once Jacobs is free of HBO that Jacobs /Andrade is in the pipeline while a great fight will it translate into buys between 2 good relatively unknown fighters. I personally doubt it

        Vargas is legit and I’m a fan and has been involved in some big fights ( Manny , Bradley , Broner ) but always as the B side and has no following. Hearn would have to match him up against quality opponents ( Khan, Brook) but will he do that instead of having them fight each other and miss that potential payday

        I’ve always said for DAZN to be a success they need Big A class fighters in big time fights but even that may not be enough , American boxing fans are fickle and even fights among the sports best ( Ward / Kov ) boxing fans have shown they won’t always support it with their wallets

        It’ll be a uphill battle and maybe the 2nd wave of signings are all killers and stars but regardless it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out

          Maybe it's time to stop be a racist príck. Defend what's right, not what's down the street. Do you even think about your actions? You've been programmed by your own people to have disputes with foreigners over some old historical UK rubbish.

          I know a lot of UK folks and they beef with every other town just because thats the way it's always been. Fight with everybody and fùck everybody thats not me. What a shítty way to live!!! It's a sad way to spend a life.

          Think for yourself man and not what people in your neck of the woods think. Stop, just stop being desperate for acceptance. Integrity son, learn about it.
          Let it out hun, let it out.

          Embarrassing.

                Hearn is taking over.......PERIOD!

                He's starting out exactly how he started here in the UK, starting from the bottom with low key signings, not many marquee names.

                Now look where he is! Give the knobhead time and he'll make it a success believe you me.

                The takeover is real America. Stop crying and sit back and enjoy the ride P.u.s.s.y

                  Standard. No response so resorts to insults. Laughable ones at that.

                    You can tell many people here still live with their parents and also have no clue about how business works if they think a business is supposed to be ultra successful this quick.

                      This place is really full of financial illiterates who pretend to know their ****. This also seems to work on many of the other morons.
