DAZN will have a total of 64 boxing events in 2019!

[N/A]

You claim to do business with DAZN and want them to succeed.

Yet when somebody mentions there is more boxing content on it than any other platform you get all pissy and start bigging up Showtime?

My personal bias plays no role in my posting here. I'm rooting for DAZN, but my honest opinion is that until Canelo, all they had was quantity. A bunch of fighters nobody cares about in the US. Landing Canelo is a game changer, but everything prior to that was a giant dud. Nobody in the US cares about WBSS or Combate Americas. The Bellator deal was decent, but you can't build an obscure streaming platform on the back of a second tier league. Matchroom signed a bunch of guys HBO & SHO had largely ignored. The general public is ******. They need to be spoonfed guys over and over for years. As for as the public was concerned, DAZN had nobody and/or didn't exist.

Now that DAZN has Canelo, I'd argue WBSS, Combate, etc are a waste of time and resources and if DAZN will likely get out of those deals as soon as their termination options come up. Even Hearn needs to be concerned because there's really no reason for DAZN to work with two major promoters. They'd be better off giving that money to Golden Boy. Remember, Eddie only has two years guaranteed. Then DAZN can say good bye and save some of that money while giving the rest to GBP in a restructure.

Youre only looking at this from an American perspective. Oscar is a liability, they have the right man in Hearn for what they have planned. They wanted Canelo, they had to take on the baggage.

DAZN haven't just tasked Hearn to get in the US market, theyre funding him to go for the world. Its actually 52 shows Matchroom will be putting on next year. 8 more each in Germany and Italy. Where DAZN go Hearn going to be, 20 countries by 2022

And lol at everything before being a dud, literally been going a month before they got Canelo on DAZN.

[bigdunny1]

they could have million events won't mean shyt if they don't make good fights. So let's see who else signs with DAZN and what type of quality fights they make. Grabbing Canelo got them a seat at the table with the big boys. What they do with and if other top fighters sign is still up in the air.

Honestly I think DAZN is asking a lot of Hearn & I won't be surprised if he burns out 3 years in.

I think it'd be smarter for DAZN to make a German DAZN deal with Sauerland or some players in Germany & likewise elsewhere.

I think Hearn is gonna be making a ton of mistakes over the next few years cuz he's trying to do too much sh^t. It doesn't seem sustainable to have one guy in 4 countries or potentially 20 in 4 years. I can't imagine thats the plan matter of fact. I bet Hearn will just be outsourcing the work or something. Buying Sauerland cards maybe idk.

It's going to be hard to make those quality events with their rosters

Think that's what he will be doing, an Italian news site said he'll be teaming up with the Cherchi's OPI Since 82 promotion for the 8 Italian cards. Interestingly they've got Patera the guy that beat Ritson signed to them, may explain why he got a fair shake on the scorecards.

I'm not sure the Sauerlands are as strong as they once were, lost quite a few guys over the last year Pulev, Culcay, Zeuge, Braehmer, Koelling. Think I read they lost a German TV deal, and jumped ship.
