Comments Thread For: Haymon, PBC To Invade UK Market: Starting With DeGale-Eubank

[KTFOKING]

I'm sorry but giving the Brits Sammy Vasquez, Devon Alexander Victor Ortiz Andre Berto Luis Collazo and a bunch of other washed up fighters isn't much better even if it is free!!

I mean technically you guys have been getting Khan vs LoGreco and Vargas and Brook vs Zerafa lately LOL.

Seriously? I thought everything was a PPV over there?

Not yet, but its getting there. They'll ne asking us for money to see Ted Cheeseman defend the commonwealth belt next.. 😂

... somewhere on Twitter:

The move into the UK market by Al Haymon in my opinion is an indication of the pressure he’s currently feeling in the US market with the launch of DAZN & ESPN + ...

CORRECT! Al Haymon and an investor carjacked a hedge fund to pay exorbitant amounts to fighters. His intent was to monopolize and starve competition. Giving fighters a pay raise was just a part of the strategy that would last until either the competition caved or the money ran out, whichever came first.

The scheme almost worked but then the hedge fund shareholders threatened a suit and ESPN+ and DAZN came along with long term ambitions and deep pockets.

not everything has to be ppv wothy, some end up being better in fact, paying for this fight might surprise you, how many ppvs have you bought which you fell asleep to

More than one, but tbh i didnt think Eubank Groves was all that good and Degale looks almost finished. I think its reaching a point where they are trying to make every half decent match up PPV, and its time boxing fans take a stand. I remember thinking we reached that point once before with Haye vs Audley. Boy was i glad i didn't buy that one..

You make yourself look ****** every Time you bring up Frank Warrens secret $50M offer
AJ is with Sky Sports
That Fight was never serious
BT Sport would nrver get thst AJ Wilder fight

Their side even confirmed that they wanted to force SKY to bid on the fight so that they couldn't get it for a fixed low offer through AJ's deal with them. When they negotiate like that and won't even reveal their intentions or meet up to discuss those important details, how can they expect Hearn to just sign on the dotted line?

I have to agree, they made an offer that would never be excepted AND they never had any intention of discussing it either, it was just more BS to promote Wilder and discredit Hearn and AJ.

Finkel is a pathetic weasel who continues to mismanage Wilder's career, has made this whole thing personal between him and Hearn, and now it's looking very likely to cost Wilder a career high payday. Even if Deontay alternates fights between Ortiz and Fury he would still have to fight them at least 3 times each to make anywhere near what he would facing Joshua once.

"but but but AJ turned down $50 million" ... lol

At least AJ knows what having 50 million feels like right

As limited as Eubank Jr is, he should beat Degale at this stage. He’s similar to Truax in style, and should be able to draw Degale into a brawl given the dislike between the two. I’ll take Eubank on stamina alone.

The great thing with ITV box office fights is that it’s generally very easy to find free streams. But you didn’t hear that from me.

You can't lie your way out of it. Aj asked for then DUCKED 50million bucks....LMMFAO! I think that is the 1st in history

[sicko]

ZERO to do with Eddie Hearn, if ITV wants to make the investment to show PBC Content in the UK why would Haymon turn that down, that is just extra money coming in for the fighters from overseas basically

Some of you are just way too caught up with this FAKE USA vs UK Nonsense when it really doesn't exist
