    And he also somehow stole away Beterbiev who was in the middle of a 3-fight deal with DAZN.
    Matchroom are co-promoting Crawford-Khan. It is nothing more than competitve business, that's all.

      Khan would have gotten paid more to fight Brook. And Matchroom would have made more money off that fight too.

        DAZN is ESPN+'s only online competitor for boxing content, so yeah it makes sense he is going to go after Hearn at any opportunity.

          Idk about no sneaky war. The Khan thing was a much needed fight seemingly to keep Bud happy more than to piss off DAZN.

          And Beterbiev's career has been such a clusterf#ck since he started stepping up a few years back that idk that he's any great loss for DAZN.

          I think the purse bid battles where surprisingly to myself Bob & Bob Jr have the lead is the more reasonable war front thus far between these two sides & that doesn't even seem to be THAT lively &/or dramatic.

          I think shots will be fired by all soon enough doe cuz this is a battle for the future of boxing thats entering its first calender year with the demise of the former ruler, HBO Boxing.

            Now he's taking shots at Hearn's #1 guy:

            Arum: Joshua Damaged His Credibility, Fury Viewed as #1 in U.S.
            Top Rank CEO Bob Arum believes IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua needs to "desperately" fight in the United States in order to raise his profile. According to Arum, Joshua's fights against "no-hopers" in the UK have "damaged his credibility". He believes last month's sensational fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury has overshadowed Joshua's momentum in the sport.

                The American boxing establishment is.

                They have been slacking off and giving their fans garbage for years, now here comes some competition they are forced to up their game and are livid about it

                    Would it make you feel better if I ask if Bob Arum is waging a sneaky war on Eddie Hearn?
