Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao To DAZN? Representatives Meet With Hearn

[MDPopescu]

Makes sense if PAC gets the Khan fight

Decent fight makes sense both fighters

... a Hearn promoted Pacquiao vs Khan fight in the U.K. would make good money for both fighters (and, maybe, this is the only actual opportunity for both)...

Streaming services are probably the future and are just going to get bigger. We've already seen Facebook, Amazon and YouTube dipping their toes into sports markets. It can be a much for the end customer though having to pay so many platforms if you want to watch it all

... not "probably"... the streaming services ARE the future...

The people talking about a Loma fight, how long has the Pacman been a welter? Over a decade? Loma isn't even a real lightweight. He looked too small for Linares.

Why do people pretend the Pacman is this tiny guy? The guy is a full welter and has been so by choice for over a decade.

Too much size and strength for Loma to deal with, even with this old Pacman.

If Mikey joins DAZN then great, if not, it will be a complete waste of time for Pac.

What does DAZN has to offer for Pac other than Khan or a rematch with Jesse Vargas?

With Top Rank, he can choose between Loma and Bud.
With DAZN his only options are Khan (or Brook) and Jesse Vargas.

Manny shouldn't sign with any of them. Just remain a free agent and co-promote with his fights with other promotional companies. With that strategy, he can fight anybody he wishes. Thurman, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Loma, Khan, etc.

... fighters may sign with DAZN even for one fight at a time...

Might as well get a check off of Hearn, but I doubt this brings many subscribers. Manny's best days are far in the rearview and I don't even see Philipino boxing sites talk about him.

But Hearn is desperate right now and has been signing B-Sides hoping that A-Sides will chase them. So Pac is still an A so maybe he can get great money from Hearn hoping that someone wants that fight

[Madison Boxing]

that would be a big signing for DAZN. hes still very popular

[True That]

Im planning to subscribe too. ESPN plus rarely shows anything but the top rank undercards unless theyre showing a fight airing at 6am US time because it takes place half way around the world. But DAZN's name is ridiculous. I feel like I should be ordering a bbq bacon chicken calzone from them while drunk at 3am.

You and Big Baby Miller have the same thing in mind. He called DAZN at his press conference calzone by accident, Lol, then he corrected himself. Miller probably had food on his mind since he was in Chicago. Lol

Pacquiao should make a one fight deal with a rematch clause against Crawford then retire with a lot of money.

Would love to see Manny retire and not have these second rate fighters steal a little bit of what is left , which is only name and jaded skills.

Of course Khan wants it. Its happening Dec 1st or 8th Principality Stadium, Whyte/Chisora 2 chief support.

Damn, that would be a hell of a card if they can pull it off

Of course Khan wants it. Its happening Dec 1st or 8th Principality Stadium, Whyte/Chisora 2 chief support.

Can that sell out a Stadium in the UK though? Aside from Canelo Khan hasn't fought anyone relevant in years and Pacquiao is way past his prime. Is Khan really that popular in the UK??
