Comments Thread For: DAZN To Stream Canelo-Fielding Card, Future Canelo Fights

[TheBigLug]

So, where does GGG go now.

Pac = PBC/Fox/Sho
Canelo = DAZN
GGG = ???

DAZN would make sense. Canelo is there, so if he's wanting a third fight, it will need to be there?

Andrade is there, Jacobs will be there i'd imagine since HBO aren't doing anything.

Plenty of title fights to be had for GGG, assuming they win those vacant belts.

Hearn gave the greenlight for DAZN to deal with Oscar which simply means he waived exclusivity. Oscar then did the deal with DAZN

You are speculating. Let's see what is said at the press conference.

Hearn is responsible for the Boxing content on DAZN just like Top Rank is responsible for the Boxing content on ESPN.

No other promoter can broadcast a show on DAZN without dealing with Hearn and no other promoter can broadcast a show on ESPN without dealing with Top Rank.

Wheres ANY Proof?

[Phenom]

They do, Eddie did the deal with Comosa.

Ok let's try this again is Eddie Hearn programming director for DAZN does he have executive position?

DAZN have exclusivity not Matchroom

[Kezzer]

That makes sense. As long as Oscar get the blessing of Hearn, he can go forward on DAZN.

Again he couldn't have done so without Hearn blessings, exclusive contracts matter.

It’s a win win anyway. If DAZN show even more cards than matchroom then more people buy DAZN and watch matchroom! Much similar to the WBss deal Eddie Hearn helped DAZN strike.

Furthermore golden boy would get free extra exposure as Hearn is more than willing to big up DAZN events , which are likely to be on sky sports too , just like he has the WBSS in media coverage too!

DAZN doesn't have exclusive contract with Eddie Hearn they do show WBSS you know

YES THEY DOES!!!

Hearn is the one who worked out the WBSS deal. He doesn't have to be involved in the promotion but his consent is needed.

At the end of the day, it about getting the best content for DAZN and Hearn can broker the deal without being involved with the promotion or the fighters boxing.


No one can box on DAZN without Hearn consent or involved.
No one can box on ESPN without Top Rank consent or involved.
No one can hold a MMA even on DAZN without Bellators consent or involved.


Exclusive contracts means something.

[Motorcity Cobra]

You are speculating. Let's see what is said at the press conference.

I'm not speculating. We been talking about this for a week since I posted that topic last week. What we found out is that no promoter can broadcast on ESPN or DAZN without Eddie's or Bob's approval. The have to waive exclusivity. Bob even said it himself.

BREAKING NEWS: All the ropes sold out to LDBS clowns
GOOD NEWS (not really): They have no clue how to tie a knot.

Exactly these matchroom fanatics are pitiful in their attempts to blow Eddie Hearn at every turn.

[sicko]

Bellator is the only contractual MMA promotion that can broadcast on the DAZN platform...if UFC ever wanted to do so, they'd have to work with Bellator or get Bellator's consent to do so.

Same deal with Hearn...contracts matter!

Interesting! Hopefully somebody in the boxing media ask these questions directly as to how the deal was done. I'm going by GBP statement as far as not being interested in doing any time of 3rd Party Dealings with Arum or Hearn

That being said, of course Eddie is not going to get in the way of any deals with Canelo because it benefits him and his events on DAZN as well
