Eddie Hearn having a hard time with Nov 17th show

[Ray*]

Dear Eddie, I wrote you but still ain't callin'

These guys are so in love with Hearn it’s unreal. Typical stans.

Correct. He's very talented, but was largely ignored by HBO and Showtime because he was trapped in a deal with a low level promoter nobody wanted to work with.

To put things in perspective, you AJ diehards go on and on about nobody knowing who Wilder is, Wilder not having any fans, etc etc.

Wilder has over a million followers on instagram, which is nothing compared to what AJ has, but for an American fighter, is a very impressive number.

Miller only has 50,000. Think about that for a second. AJ = 7.5 million. Wilder = 1 million. Miller = 50 thousand.

As far as average boxing fans are concerned in the US, Miller doesn't even exist.

What about Twitter followers? Facebook?

We need to know!

Who the hell is Bogdan Dinu?

If he has been offered to him, then they must be going down the WBA list which suggests Whyte v Chisora is a done deal. Would Jennings have passed this up? Don't know Otto Wallin. Then it is Dinu.

... Big Baby has already beaten like Wach and Duhaupas ...

Big Baby hasn't beaten any current top 10er in any belt, ring or boxrec.

Nobody in America cares about WBSS. Nobody in America cares about Matchroom. Nobody in America cares about anybody Golden Boy has other than Canelo.

Actually, boxing fans do.

DAZN is going to live and die on how many people are willing to sign up year round for two Canelo fights. Lots of people are going to just sign up for Canelo and then cancel. So far, DAZN doesn't have a way to keep casual fans interested year round.

Combat sports are just the start. Hearn provides boxing for UK (I can see DAZN starting in UK after Hearns Sky agreement ceases in combat sports as with USA) and soon DAZN IT and DAZN DE. DAZN aren't getting rid of him anytime soon.

DAZN have no plans to enter the UK market.
They'd require home sports to supplement boxing which would have to include some form of EPL rights package.

The EPL rights packages went up for tender last year .

Sky paid over 3 and a half billion... BT paid over a billion for the lesser packages and Amazon picked up the last for over 400 million for the worst games in the worst time slots.

Those packages won't come up for tender for another 4 years or so. Matchroom and Sky are contracted now until 2025.

No DAZN for UK fans.

It's not a question of 32 shows being great or not, it's a question of Matchroom not having even one fighter the US cares about.

In your opinion who are the fighters Americans care for?

It’s insanely short notice. It’s a world title fight in what? Three weeks? No way people are going to walk their out of shape ass to get KO’d for that. Look at David Price’s last match. That had more notice iirc

It’s not that nobody wants a world title fight. Nobody wants to fight Jarell Miller on three weeks notice.

[elfag]

More and more they seem to be trying to put together fights a month or two out.

How is he going to have a PPV worthy fight in 3 ***ing weeks? Training camps are usually 8 weeks or so. I dont want to see some fat heaviweight nobodies fight each other. That is not a PPV.

Any idea who is showing UFC now BT has pulled the plug?
