Thanks. Guess I’m still trying to find the difference between Matchroom and DAZN. Oscar threw some confusion into the mix when he said he’d bypass Eddie

Matchroom had exclusive promotional rights to all boxing on DAZN in the US, apart from the WBSS.

If Oscar bypassed Hearn, then DAZN must have cut some kind of deal with Eddie to allow GBP onto the app along with Matchroom.

It has to be good business for Hearn. More subscribers means more viewers for his fights, and the GBP roster means more potential GBP vs Matchroom fights like Canelo/Fielding.

Cong**** that is HUGE for Canelo and GBP no more having to worry about trying to maintain unrealistic PPV buys in a era where illegal streams are frequent and way too easy to access

wow canelo the boss, fair play to him, from the edge of the abyss to the edge of heaven in a few short months, right place right time right hair and other stuff too

Dan Rafael of ESPN reported that the deal is for 11 fights

It's amazing how many posters on this board are so obsessed with other peoples money.

They dont even watch for the sporting aspect. Its to count other peoples money

Reports say that ggg will agree to a 2 fight deal with DAZN for 97k.... Following the canelo signing.

Great business deal for clenelo. Cha Ching. Now he's going to cherry pick for 5 years. Guarantee he ducks Charlo and Andrade.

You have no right to complain since you are a supporter of the “boxing is a business” mantra.

This is the climate you as a fan helped create. If its good enough an excuse for floyd to duck, it should be good enough for anyone.

Reckon that depends on Hearn and De La Hoya no?

Just to clarify because so many are.; I'm not one of these guys just biting at the bit to see anyone fail. If there's room for Matchroom and GB that's great.

It seems like if GB can get viewers on DAZN and Eddie struggles without GB DAZN will likely rectify their mistake and make the switch.

If DAZN has a contract with Hearn regardless of Hearn's performance DAZN is about the worst business I've ever heard of and I am a professional prototyper. I've worked for everyone from robot manufacturers to video game developers. I promise you, his contract is based on him hitting certain marks, no one goes in big money unprotected.

That said I don't reckon it's definitely a bad thing for Eddie, it just depends on how Eddie plays it. Seems like Oscar's path is clear, minimize Matchroom and maximize GB on DAZN. Eddie's is less because he's got to use GB to maximize Matchroom at the moment.

I think it's very interesting and kind of historical given boxing hasn't taken streaming very seriously up to this point. I wish more people would just speak on it rather than picking a side and twisting all information to reflect their side positively. I'm fairly interested in see De La Hoya and Hearn chessmatch DAZN.

One thing is clear, this is a strategic business move of some sort by DAZN. The specific nature of DAZN's particular goals with this play is unclear at this time, at least to me. I wonder if the upcoming Canelo vs Fielding fight played a role in this chess match. Did the positive response in the UK to this fight play a part in the negotiation or was the deal already sealed? Goodbye HBO. Hello DAZN.

The boxing is a business crowd should be excited and happy for Canelo. Isnt this what boxing is about for you guys? Hes making smart business decisions. Right?
