Eddie Hearn: Bob Arum is Dissiming Lomachenko vs Crolla because fight will be on DAZN

[Bobby Deez]

Can't have TV networks blocking unifications or mandatory fights , Eddie is saying this will be Loma biggest payday so Loma is getting 2 milliion he need to go get it

2 million to fight a British club fighter? Motha****a better take it

[_Rexy_]

Im sure we are all ok with that. Nobody outside of Britain cares about Lomachenko fighting a tomato can crolla.

I want to see Loma up against the elites.

Same, but if he has to wait on Mikey, and none of the champs at 130 will fight him then he has to stay busy.

It would be incredibly one sided though.

Hearn is saying Lomachenko can't turn down life changing money for a unification because the fight will be on a different network. But he made Joshua turn down life changing money for a unification so that he could fight on DAZN

^^^exactly, lol.

Money only matters when that becomes the ground for Hearn dictating a fight.

When the money is elsewhere, all of a sudden, money doesn't matter..

Isn't Eddie 0-1 vs Arum in purse bids since hes had that DAZN bankroll? Whos saying its a lock Eddie wins the purse bid this time? Idk if I'd assume that is all I know.

I think Eddie overestimates his own power & underestimates everyone elses power a lil too frequently still. I could easily foresee one of those salty Hearn vids where he looks like he just cried a lil or is about to cry a lil post-losing purse bid here. Good luck to both doe I guess.

And I think Eddie has a lot of Bobby in him anyway where he don't wanna break the bank &/or can't see the forest for the trees with having positive relationships with promoters vs getting beefs going with trying to overpay a guy to fight one of his guys no one cares about seeing get schooled.

Either way Crolla gets dominated and stopped. If crolla is the mandatory then purse bid, If Top rank don't want Loma on DAZN then win the purse bid and showcase the fight.

Exactly. Its pretty simple. Whoever wins the purse bid can showcase the fight on whichever network they want, Hearn speaking like its a gievn that DAZN wins the purse bid, this guy is an arrogant P*ick.

Of course Top rank wouldn't want Loma on DAZN, but if they lose the purse bid then they have no choice if they still want loma to defend his belt.

Still trying to figure out what Dissiming means.

[Famous Seamus]

he should fight his mandatory challengers, that's the reason that they are there for.

Loma already making 2 million fam. Eddie gonna have to add a million to that. Here is Biggie Dan story:

Lomachenko's official purse is $1 million, although he will actually make about $2 million, and Pedraza, whose official purse is $350,000, will make closer to $1 million. Dogboe's official purse is $100,000 but he will make $250,000 plus revenue from African television rights. Navarrete's purse is $50,000, and Lopez and Menard are earning $20,000 apiece.

Who in Africa has a tv set...other than that Nigerian Prince? And all his money has been locked up by the government until he gets my 10k so he can pay to have his funds released.

Hearn is just playing mind games in order to get Top Rank to make a big purse bid. One thing we have learnt so far, is that regardless of the budget he is believed to have, Hearn isn't going to overpay big for fights.

It would actually be very surprising if Hearn spends all of his budget in year 1.
