Comments Thread For: Hurd: I Turned Down Hearn's DAZN Offer, Haymon Doing Better

[Redd Foxx]

Interesting. I mean, the guy is in a good position and he seems to have had no hesitation with his decision. Here's a real dude putting him money where his mouth is, not some loser fan who argues hypotheticals all day online with other idiots.

I couldn't help but laugh at this though, "I’m trying to not just be an international fighter. I’m trying to be an all over the world fighter."
Gawd, some of these guys are dumb.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

see this is the problem with hearns, HES CHEAP!.

reason why he lost out on purse bid even though he was yapping to anyone that listens he has a billion dollars to play with lmfao.

I dont't know how anyone can blame Hurd, let's look at the facts.

-DAZN in North America is pretty much like fighting on the underground circuit right now. I know overseas/international fans may not know this.

-Showtime and now FOX have been pushing Hurd hard, (Day In Camp Fighter profiles, snippet videos etc). Featuring him on PPVs, giving him time on the new FOX studio show, pushing him on the Charlo FOX debut.

-It's hard to beat Showtime/FOX coverage. You are guaranteed national tv time on various levels. FOX also has new studio, profile and interview show which they air on FOX and FS1, while replaying them like crazy.

-Unless you are Canelo, if you fight on DAZN right now you are not going to have any sort of spotlight (outside of internet forums, social media and youtube).


Let me break it down for those that don't get it yet, in a very direct and simple way.

Example:

if Boo Boo Andrade is introduced at a New England Patriots Football game..you will see it on the DAZN IG, Matchroom IG, but where else in North America?

If Hurd is at a NFL Game...up to 100 million (but realistically around 20-30 M) people will see this live on FOX, and then it will be replayed as a snippet on their PBC FOX shows, and also all over their social media as well.

Please tell me how else a DAZN fighter is getting any other attention (outside of Canelo)..I will wait.....

I love Matchroom and appreciate Eddie Hearn as a promoter, I think he brings something big to the table, yet the vision he had for DAZN is actually what PBC is doing through their new FOX deal.

DAZN needs to focus HARD on their youtube, IG and social media marketing because it literally the ONLY way, any of these fighters are going to get a lick of attention (outside of Canelo).

This is not an opinion, it's just the reality of fighting on DAZN right now..it is going to take time and much more effort to break into the North American market.

im from RI...boo boos home state..ive been following him since he was a kid...im also a lifelong pats fan and season ticket holder...if they showed boo boo on the big screen at a patriots game i dont think but maybe a couple hundred people in the crowd would even know who he is lol

meanwhile spence was getting shown on cbs on thanksgiving day on the sideline and is doing fights with jerry jones in attendance and in the ring.....in fact just getting his picture taken a couple of times with jerry jones alone does wonders for his profile

The day I predicted early on in these comments is about to come! All that Haymon bs ain’t flying anymore. Look for Hurd to go to 160 and Earn With Hearn!
