Comments Thread For: DAZN Exec: De La Hoya The Most Important Figure in PPV History

[kidbazooka]

Wow - boxing fans who complain they can pay far less for fights!

Some people just hate change and don’t realise the green on the other side

I hear ya but it’s not about that, ppl here will hate on canelo and Oscar no matter what.

I swear the Oscar jealousy in this board is through the roof

And with this news now the haters are dying of jealousy right now

Sorry. That would be Mayweather. Mayweather is the common denominator in every high-selling PPV in history:

1. Mayweather v. De La Hoya
2. Mayweather v. Canelo
3. Mayweather v. Pacquiao
4. Mayweather v. McGregor

sure mayweather has these numbers, however ODLH made him. may had poor numbers prior to their bout. ODLH also made pac. both pac and mayweather became PPV stars after ODLH.

saying he made them is a stretch. Their fights with him increased their popularity but keep in mind, Oscar's highest ppv numbers are vs Floyd, floyd has bigger ppv fights without Oscar.

Mayweather clearly made himself lol what type of PPV sales did Oscar have before Floyd? You do realize Mayweather gave him his biggest pay day.

Im no Canelo or Oscar fan but come on we getting more boxers in one platform- how could so many people be negative about this move? This is gonna lead to Canelo-danny jacobs or Canelo-smith at 168, and for the record I hope canelo loses both fights. But more boxing is always better!

It's just Wilder fanboys who are incredibly bitter that Hearn, as the main promoter on DAZN, is doing exactly what he said he would do, and exactly what the fanboys said he couldn't do, by breaking the US market. He apparently 'didn't understand it'

DAZN now run heavyweight, cruiserweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, light welterweight (WBSS) and bantamweight (WBSS).

I love the DAZN format. I stream most of my TV channels and some I have to watch live to catch the fight being aired. With DAZN I can watch it when I want to.

Oscar only had around 4 fights that ever did over 1 million buys...and he was in more PPV fights I believe.

Hearn has nothing to do with Canelo. They went straight to DAZN without Hearn to reach a deal. Hearn couldn't produce anything on his own. Hearn isn't promoting anything but his Matchroom cards. He has no say on GBs dates that were given. Hearn didn't break into the US market with DAZN, it was GB and Canelo who is gonna make DAZN what Hearn couldn't.

Stop deluding yourself.

DAZN USA wouldn't even exist without Hearn. They approached Matchroom to spearhead their foray into the American market. Not Sauerland. Not Golden Boy.

Naysayers said it couldn't be done, yet he did it. And it's not even been a month since launch.

Matchroom have 32 dates a year. Golden Boy have 10 dates a year.

Yes, he is not his promoter but if Hearn has nothing to do with Canelo fighting on DAZN wtf is he doing taking pictures with him today for? And why is he retweeting DAZN USA and Canelo regarding the announcement?

You have to give credit where it's due.

Floyd got the numbers but The cross dressing fruitcake did help make Floyd a PPV star...he walked Pac to the bank as well...so I agree with the DAZN exec
