Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostSure, but Duva still obviously believes Kovalev can win the rematch. We have no idea how much money was offered, but more potential for Kovalev if he wins the rematch on ESPN opposed to DAZN.
Also, we can put an end on ESPN only having $30 million for their 30 cards they have to put on. Like I said, more likely double that.
Actually I believe this was a move in her best interest and not Kovalevs. I believe she wanted a relationship with espn or BOB before HBO jumps ship. She just doesn't want to put her stock in DAZN. Bob arums deal seems like hes using other promoters like haymon does. In this scenario atleast she still getting paid

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostTotally different. Haymon is using the select few promoters for HIS own show. Arum doesn't have the stable to fill 30 dates so he wants any available fight and will put fighters not sighed to TR on ESPN.
what we do know is that haymon is paying promoters to do events.
Bob is doing events and we don't know exactly how those other promoters are benefitting and in what capacity are they helping with the events

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostHow will the FOX deal not do anything for them? It essentially is what was at SHO with the license fees. So the PBC gets double the dates as it has had the last few years.
Make no mistake, Hearn has tried to go after Haymon guys hard, and went after this fight hard. He for one had no idea how much money Haymon fighters were making and then like I mentioned earlier underestimated proven fighters not wanting to fight on such a small platform.
Hearn obviously has a lot of money, but one thing that hasn't been made clear is if the $125 million per year is for the license fees or in totality? Like for example, he mentioned they will use up to $50 million in marketing. So is that separate from the $125 million?
Point blank, he is up against it and has thus far been humbled. He will need to adjust his plan a bit and wait until DAZN becomes proven. Problem with that? Only way it happens is if it picks up rights to other major sports leagues and those rights aren't open until 2021 or 2022.
And you know if Haymon negotiated for Khan and Vargas he overpayed.

And because Haymon just pays set fees for guys like Dibella to promote his shows, it allows fighters to benefit by getting a piece of the live gate among other things.

Plus if this is true subtract more money because he signed AJ, Amir Khan, Jesse Vargas, etc. to dazn which would in turn lower their budget even more.
