Sounds like Hearn won the Saunders/Andrade purse bid

I do wonder if Andrade or Jacobs get in line to fight Golovkin, and Golovkin's deal is up, will DAZN possibly be able to put that fight on their service? I mean not like Andrade vs Golovkin is going to be a MASSIVE event, but one Golovkin will still want to get paid handsomely for. I think Golovkin's deal with HBO will be up soon. I know ESPN put out an offer for Golovkin/Vanes a few months back.

Fair to say if Golovkin beats Canelo, his days on regular HBO are over with.

Doubt itll happen whilst Golovkin is still contracted to HBO. Think Jacobs has one fight left on his HBO deal. Could see Jacobs and Golovkin going to DAZN, could see the whole lot ****ing off HBO tbh. Just Golden Boy left over there.

No venue though?

Hearn's a busy guy man, think hes got 6 events in 6 weeks in that period, on both sides of the pond. Pretty ridiculous thing to try and pull off

Well yeah, but not sure how many more fights Golovkin has with HBO. They weren't even going to air his fight against Vanes until ESPN made a bid for it and then some how they came up the money they needed to put it on regular HBO.

Because DAZN can put together fights where you have two fighters making 5-7 million each. A network isn't going to be able to put that up. But say a fighter is going to make 10+ million and his opponent is going to make similar? Then DAZN just can't match that.

We'll see. So far DAZN hasn't been offering much more than what the other networks are offering. The offers to Broner, Spence, Charlos, etc. are all about the same as what they are currently making. Not once has DAZN offered one fighter $5 million, let alone both fighters $5-7M.

Hearn used Kovalev vs Ward as an example of a fight that was on PPV but could be put on DAZN. Same with Crawford vs Postol or GGG vs Lemieux.

"Monster" PPV-quality shows must mean something different to Hearn than it does to me.

Crawford vs. Postol is not a "monster PPV quality show."
GGG vs. Lemieux is not a "monster PPV quality show."

Those weren't even close to PPV quality.

Lets see what Hearn does. Supposedly he is willing to offer Wilder 7-8 million to fight on DAZN. That is something SHO is definitely not paying him. Time will tell if he is ever able to sign big name fighters. But there is a reason he preferred Wilder/Joshua to take place in 2019 and why he wanted Joshua to kick off the DAZN launch.

Well, I actually mentioned that in my thread I made about Hearn. That a lot of the good fights are already on regular networks, and some even airing on terrestrial television like Garcia vs Thurman or Porter vs Thurman. Maybe he means he could put together a card with fights like Crawford vs Postol as the co-main and GGG vs Lemieux as the main event?

In reality, there just aren't many PPVs in the states anymore. It only involves Canelo and/or Golovkin depending on the opponent. So instantly that was a flaw from his initial statement.
