GGG wasn't crying you idiot. He was angry at being robbed again by those corrupt Nevada judges.
You are such a classless POS that you don't even care whether your boy actually deserved the win. I guess concepts like fair play are unknown in the kind of shithole you were brought up in.
I guess it was the tears and lumps that fooled us
if he wasn't crying before..... he sure as fcuk is crying now that Canelo just got handed 365milComment

Correct, now ESPN/UCN/Ring TV have all confirmed that GBP did this DAZN deal without the consent of Hearn.
Again, as I've said a hundred of times, why would DAZN give Hearn an exclusive deal when he had no leverage at all? DAZN wants to corner the sports market, they don't want to lock into one promoter. Hearn when given the deal had ZERO US fighters of note. DAZN isn't run by dummies, they know what was on hand. They gave Hearn a butt load of cash to hope he can make something happen, but they also covered their a$$es by only giving him a two year deal. I don't necessarily think they will get rid of Hearn as he still brings UK content and will put on decent US shows, but they may adjust his deal going forward. GBP could end up getting the $100+ million budget per year.
Hearn has an 8 year deal with DAZN. They will be giving him $1billion to promote 16 US shows per year over that period.
Here's a video of Hearn and one of the DAZN bosses explaining the deal at the launch announcement.
At 9.21 in this video the DAZN man says something that surprised me: "And that's why the whole thing works between DAZN and Matchroom. That's why we put together Matchroom boxing"
Obviously, that's Matchroom USA he's talking about there. The original Matchroom (UK) was formed by Eddie Hearn's dad back in the 1980's.

I'd say the chances of DAZN ditching Hearn and giving Oscar $100+ million per year to spend on coke and kitchen utensils are pretty remote!Last edited by kafkod; 10-17-2018, 05:39 PM.Comment

Now it's you posting incorrect info!

Where it not for the extremely lucky break of signing Canelo when he was still a kid and keeping him sweet since then, GBP would be out of business now.
I'd say the chances of DAZN ditching Hearn and giving Oscar $100+ million per year to spend on coke and kitchen utensils are pretty remote!
It is going to come down to who both promotional companies end up with in their stable. I believe GBP with the same type of money has a better chance of attaining top talent due to them being proven stateside. Mikey Garcia is more likely to leave to DAZN to partner with GBP than Matchroom.
Now the fun really starts. We should soon get the numbers of this deal and just how much money GBP has to play with.Comment

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.Comment
