Comments Thread For: Usyk Signs With Matchroom; Eventually Wants To Fight Joshua

[KTFOKING]

I was using a low estimate 2 x Wilder, 2 x Spence, Porter and Garcia both said they want PPV money to fight Spence, Charlo/Hurd.

Charlo/Hurd isn't going on PPV. What? Espinoza was going to put that on regular SHO before Hurd had that shoulder operation and then Charlo got arrested for domestic violence.

Lets see if Spence vs the winner of Porter/Garcia goes to PPV. And Spence isn't just going on PPV every fight. He's not even close to that level. He will fight on PPV once at the most next year, and that will be either against Mikey or presumably against the winner of Garcia/Porter. But I'm not sure the last one goes on PPV. Now, the Crawford fight if it is to happen late 2019? Yeah, that's definitely going on PPV.

Those estimates were bad. If you want to use Wilder as a PPV fighter then yes. But again, Hearn wouldn't be able to put his fights against Fury or Joshua on DAZN anyways so that is a moot point. If Wilder rematches Fury in 2019 on PPV? That would mean the first fight did good numbers and it was a good fight. So the purses aren't going to all of a sudden decrease for the rematch. Wilder beats Fury, and then gets the Joshua fight? No chance it happens on DAZN. Then you are looking at Wilder/Joshua doing 500k or so buys even if the PPV is on in the afternoon.

So all Hearn can put on DAZN that will be potentially on PPV is Spence vs Mikey or Spence vs winner of Porter/Garcia.

So he wants to put AJ/Wilder on DAZN, but he wouldn't have the money to put Wilder/Fury on DAZN?

Use your head, buddy.

W-T-F is wrong with you? Wilder/Joshua would be taking place in the UK where majority of the revenue will be coming in from the UK PPV. Wilder/Fury will be taking place in the states. That is the difference. Sure there will be revenue coming in from the UK PPV, but most of it comes from the gate and presumably US PPV. DAZN isn't going to be able to put up that big of guarantees for that fight.

And regardless of what Hearn wants, he's not putting Wilder/Joshua on DAZN, especially if it happens after Wilder/Fury.

Okay, that whole argument was filled with dumb assumptions!

By the way, nobody writes "W-T-F", just a heads up so you don't look so old lmaooo

Usyk can beat Bellew but I doubt if he can beat Joshua or any of the big HW because of his size.

Would be interested in seeing the length of this deal, tbh.

With K2 Ukraine still being the lead promoter for Usyk (no different than the deals for Hooker, Beterbiev, Miller, Roman, etc), I'd imagine that this might be for 3-4 fights.

What you trying to say???? I'm only in my late 20s!!! Not that old....yet lol.

Wilder-Fury, Wilder-Joshua (and likely Wilder-Ortiz 2), Spence-Mikey, Spence-Danny, Thurman-Spence, and possibly Pacquiao vs Mikey/Danny/Spence/Broner.

At most, we'd see 3 PPVs a year, but that is offset by basically 50 solid to great fight cards that you'd be getting for $120 a year for Showtime and whatever you're already paying to watch regular TV.

DAZN is filling in the schedule, but don't get it twisted.

For that extra $120 a year, you're getting a matinee schedule of events by Matchroom Sport, the WBSS tournaments, and watching Jessie Vargas and Demetrius Andrade fight (with every other fighter under the Matchroom USA banner free to move elsewhere after a couple of fights).
