It'll be another failed negotiation.

Manny's just healing from Arum slamming him in the rear all those years... I'd be surprised IF he jumps back into bed with a shady promoter again.

Hearn used to talk Manny down a lot. Saying he no longer had the lustre and wasn't really a top welter. Now he's kissing ass because he wants Manny to give his DAZN enterprise some shine, after a sluggish start. Smh

Not gonna happen and a bad move anyway.

Overpaying an ageing legend solely on him being a legend.. that doesn't want to fight in the country of the intended viewing platform..

If khan doesn't want brook.. feed his biscuit chin to Manny in the UK as a retirement gift for them both and have done with it.

Hearn is obviously a smart guy and Manny is not. Don't be surprised if he completely manipulates pac the way arum did several yrs ago when he stole him from under golden boys grasp.

Even Mayweather was quoted as saying he would like to advise Pac Man..I would watch Pac vs. Kahn on DAZN instead of paying 50 bucks

Now Manny isn't a chump and has power over himself. I understand that people really hate Hearn, but I don't think anyone could say he's stealing from AJ, or has him fighting for peanuts while he himself is making a killing like Arum does. Hearn makes pennies compared to AJ. AJ is making huge money thanks to partnering with Hearn, there can be no doubt about that.

I think if people detach themselves from the hate they would be able to see it, whether you like his practices or not or his "ducking" tactics he's definitely acting in AJ's favour.

Arum is master manipulator and had Manny bent over for years taking it dry, I'm so happy for him that he's finally got out of his greasy hands.

I'd imagine if he did sign up it'd be mutually beneficial. I think Hearn and DAZN would come off better in the deal in the long run, but if it allows Manny to earn a decent wedge before retiring into the hall of fame then I think I'm all for it.

This would be a good move for Hearn & DAZN,
but I still won't subscribe if it means helping Hearn succeed in the
north American market. British fans may find my boycott harsh,
but I doubt if they'd be gung-ho about Don King opening-up shop
in London. I'll still be watching Hearn's American efforts, I just wont
be paying for it.
