Comments Thread For: Adam Kownacki Draws Interest, Offers From DAZN, ESPN, PBC

[sicko]

Adam is Polish with a HUGE Following in New York, I think Adam can headline right now and Sell Out Barclays! I'm sure Networks/APPS do see $$$ in Adam and want to lock him up on their Platform

Al Haymon is getting raided. I don't think he predicted the fall of HBO was going to coincide with an influx of money in this sport. Now Top Rank/ESPN and DAZN have no problem losing a bunch of money. How will Al counter this? All his guys are free agents.

He does exactly what Oscar did and goes to the powers that be at DAZN. At least commercially it looks like a joint effort rather than he was backed into a Corner. He can help Dazn prosper just as much as they can help him and his growing crop of fighters

Competition is great for business......staple of the free market capitalist system. G-d bless America.

Once again, I believe Eddie lied. There is probably no double rematch clause deal for Deontay Wilder after all.

If Wilder loses he is back on Showtime. If he wins he gives Anthony Joshua a rematch but if he loses he doesn't get one.

If those are indeed the terms then he should turn that offer down or perhaps the Breazeale fight is going to be on Showtime Pay Per View boxing and there is indeed a double rematch clause. We don't know all the facts right now because things are a bit sketchy at the moment.

Especially, if that article isn't true and is based solely on rumor and innuendo.
We will never can tell until all the details and facts are finally released, written and signed.

So true, well said man

He has deals with FOX and Showtime. Not ESPN or DAZN. He wants his top stars on FOXand Showtime, not fighting for rival promoters.

Where did I say he has deals with DAZN or ESPN? I said he has FIGHTERS who fight on multiple platforms. He has fighters in DAZN and ESPN. He’s an advisor not a promoter

Some of the guys don't understand that he gets paid despite the network affiliation. It just depends on the fighter and the agreement they signed.

It's my understanding that all Haymon fighters have some sort of management agreement with him. What varies is the % and whether there are additional parties.

Idk why people think this guy is operating off handshakes lol

I have concerns with all these TV deals lately, they will no doubt prevent the best fighting the best...they all gonna be fighting bums to protect their interest.

Yup. But that's already been going on. The paychecks are just bigger.

When has Eddie lied ?
Finkel and Epinoza yes .

I believe the deal is for either 3 if it includes Brezeake and/or a two way rematch for a Joshua fight.

Problem is if its on DAZN Finkel won't be able to rip Joshua off so he won't be advising Deontay to take it (see the NYC court case). That and the fact he hates Wilder stepping up remember the I'm protecting my baby heavyweight at 30 fights speech, what he meant was his cash cow.

At 30 fights Joshua , Whyte and Fury will be thinking of retiring. How can you be a novice with a belt at 30 fights its ridiculous.

Once again, I believe Eddie lied. There is probably no double rematch clause deal for Deontay Wilder after all.

If Wilder loses he is back on Showtime. If he wins he gives Anthony Joshua a rematch but if he loses he doesn't get one.

He will counter it by guiding them to the best deal lol he’s still getting paid regardless. He has guys fighting on multiple platforms. He can’t have them all on network

he doesnt want them in espn or DAZN. He wants them on his platform where he controls everything. He needs them to deliver ratings to fox and showtime so he can extent those deals.
