Comments Thread For: Showtime To Air Whyte-Chisora Rematch Live Saturday From London

Wow. This is very interesting.

That's not that surprising. The rights to the Sky Box Office PPV fights don't automatically go to DAZN. SHO just likely bid more than DAZN to get the rights to it.

It's actually very surprising given that DAZN is supposed to be the exclusive home for all of Matchroom's UK shows.

It's weird that DAZN didn't differentiate between Matchroom cards and SKY Box PPV. Only the U.S. Matchroom fight are DAZN fights.

All Matchroom USA fights are on DAZN. Most Matchroom UK fights appear on DAZN - but not all. Whyte-Chisora on Saturday will not be on DAZN

I’m sure DAZN thought it’s easier to step into the US market. Now we can cancel the DAZN monthly subscription again until sometime next year.....

my best take on the Whyte/Chisora fight going to Showtime rather than DAZN...not a good sign for Hearn at DAZN. now back to my day job...

Here is my thing, doesn't Hearn have the rights to sell this fight to whatever American network? So like even if SHO bids higher than DAZN, couldn't he technically still give it to DAZN? How does that work?

That’s definitely a clue about DAZN or quiet possibly their remaining fiscal budget. Apologize if this was already posted, didn’t read all comments

I thought that Eddie was the exclusive promoter for DAZN. Then Canelo fights on DAZN Saturday against a Matchroom USA fighter and yet there was no ring or arena advertising. If anyone did see something during that fight that said DAZN they are good, bc I actually looked as best as possible and saw nothing

[Phenom]

DAZN didn't want the fight?

[Phenom]

So wait AJ fights are not exclusive to DAZN if it's in the UK? This might be a good sign for Wilder fight

[MasterPlan]

There has to be a reason SHO got this fight. But what is it?

Are Whyte and/or Chisors contracts up soon?

Remember Haymon just last week made a deal with ITV.

Someone get to the bottom of this.
