Watch Eddie Hearn get tongue twisted trying to explain why Showtime got Whyte-Chisora

[KTFOKING]

Rob Tebbutt his name is, one of the best journalists in boxing IMO, mainly because he’s a genuine boxing fan who genuinely wants answers. He used to work for Behind the Gloves but he left as he felt his journalistic licence was essentially being censored by what BTG’s commercial aims were.

Boxing Social his YouTube channel is.

Nice, I'll definitely check out some of his other stuff now. Thanks.

Competition is good for us. According to him DAZN have first refusal on the fight. They pass... The great thing here is showtime are still interested in fights that aren’t just about Anthony Joshua. DAZN are picking their 16 shows carefully but what does that say about their platform doe especially people who signed up to them expecting to see fights like this one on it, those people now need to have showtime... Hmmm

The old bait and switch

Confusing thread.
What's so wrong with other networks buying/covering your show?
The more coverage the better. Millions will watch.
(I'd be tremendously flattered if I were Hearn.)
There seems to be no bearing on the bottom line.
What am I missing?

Well it's very bizarre honestly that Showtime got this fight over DAZN. As it has been remarked in this thread, the MR DAZN cards have been bloody awful and this is probably the best MR fight all year and they don't even put it on DAZN? Weird as hell..

Well, with or without DAZN, the fight would be huge in the UK.
You don't need DAZN to attract US fans, you need Showtime.
I still don't see how Hearn would be affected, which seems to be the point of this thread.
On the other hand, Showtime can't seem to produce its own show that they have to buy someone's.

So when ESPN Plus buys Warren's shows does that mean they can't produce their own shows?
