    Rumourmill: Skysports is getting frustrated with Eddie Hearn?

    I’m hearing claims that Sky and commentator Smith are getting upset with Eddie? For what?

    We all know Eddie is tight with DAZN, and when DAZN UK launches, how can Matchroom lose?

    So third thread of the day you were able to involve DAZN in lol.

    But I mean there are no rumors, just go listen to a Adam Smith interview. He isn't all that happy with the type of cards he's gotten in the UK this year and I mentioned this a few weeks ago that UK boxing is essentially dead for the moment. All the best UK fighters are fighting stateside with the crazy amount of money being thrown around. Hearn even said if Smith wants better cards, then he needs to increase the license fees on the SKY cards.

      Rumormill: Boxingscene Moderators are considering banning Frankie2Jabs as they fear he does nothing all day other than post garbage in this form and fear for his mental health.

        Hardly a rumour.

        Adam Smith has only said he was unhappy with one of the cards and that he still wants UK to be a priority for Hearn.

        Hearn makes a good point though, when UK fighters see the DAZN money, the fighters, their managers and trainers are all wanting to be put on cards in USA.

          What PPV stars does Sky have left? Joshua and Whyte? I'd be mad, too.

            Lebedev is Okolie will be on Sky. Maybe Whyte vs Hughie Fury or something. They'll be alright....

              How many PBC tags in thread titles have there been since it was created with fans defending Haymon? Is it still ongoing?

              I started hyping DAZN, so what. I was just told that 78Sportstv just said there’s nothing wrong with DAZN, but that the gripe is against Eddie Hearn.

              I don’t believe Hearn is failing, Joshua is about to blow up. I expect June subs for Miller vs AJ to hit 1.7 million $20 buys

                The problem is Sky aren't giving out the cash for licensing fees to pay for the quality fights they want. In the UK Hearn and Warren still have to work within their margins. Whereas in the US everything is skewed, business sense is thrown out the window, prepared to take big losses. UK fighters want the money that's being thrown around in the US.

                  How many PBC threads were made? I don't know, but if there were tons then you are certainly challenging that.....by yourself lol.

                  I don't know who 78Sports is but how is he relevant here?

                  No one is even talking about Hearn failing.

                  That's not how subs work and no way in hell will there be that many subs for just that fight. The majority of the subs will be coming with the Canelo/Jacobs card. And then if you subscribe on the day of the fight or shortly before, you will also get the Joshua/Miller fight as it falls within the 30 days.
