Trust me, they spooked.

Only on DAZN we’ve got Usyk vs Joshua or the Sky heads. That’s going to be a great fight.

Bob smacks of desperation, he must be under serious pressure from ESPN. I guess with Crawford the only US star in their stable, Tyson Fury and few Eastern European champions you could imagine the big bosses at ESPN aren't happy with their return on investment.

u Forgot José Ramírez oscar Valdez Rob Brant miguel berchelt, Navarrete, ancajas, etc. He’s got champs from al over the globe. Not just Eastern euros.

I love how there was a good thing coming together at heavyweight for the first time in god only knows how long and promoters jumped in and ruined it all.

Actually no, wait, what's the opposite of "love?" Oh yeah, hate. That's right, I hate it so damn much. I'm losing my patience with this sport at the minute.

nah Haymon already blocked DAZN

No, nothing Wilder has done prevents him for making the Joshua fight and vice versa. Neither have an exclusive network deal like Fury.

Aj doesn’t need the US he will make truck loads of cash defending in front of huge crowds in the UK and an occasional US fight.Hes been making way larger purses and Wilder who’s been champ longer was making something like a million a fight.Aj doesn’t need the U S or wilder.Most people think Fury beat him and I will bet you Fury and AJ will hook up in a huge fight in the UK before Wilder fights either one of them.People praised Fury for taking the wilder fight after his long layoff and now they want to bash him because he’s making financial decisions that benefit him.He flat out beat Wilder on points.

Wilder's side is telling Wilder: the fight should be on the service that will pay the most.

Joshua's side is telling Joshua: the fight should be on the service that will pay the least.

AJ taking over New York in June! Madison Square Garden! For the Big Dogs! Only on DAZN

u forget that Haymon and finkel brainwashed wilder into not going to DAZN. It was sweet Lou that took Wilder to the table.

Arum is full of shyt especially when he is currently putting Crawford on a ESPN PPV that will bomb and likely do less then 200K views. Hell he once put Crawford on a PPV that drew 60K PPV buys. Why not put these fights on Network TV that are exposed to more fans? Because those networks can't afford to pay. They just paid Fury this big contract and he isn't fighting on ESPN he will fight on ESPN+ where he will be exposed to far fewer eyeballs.

This old phuk needs to just shut up he is just jealous and hating, Joshua ain't signing with ESPN because you can't afford to pay him what he's getting right now. You can't even afford to pay Crawford and Fury so they can fight on ESPN's main channel. Joshua's guaranteed 30M and has already made more money then anybody on your stable. You lost Pacquiao because you couldn't afford to pay him either and forced him to fight on ESPN+ for half the money he just made fighting Broner. The goal isn't fighting in front of the most eyeballs it's getting paid the most. Streaming apps and PPV are the only way for these fighters to make 10M paydays.

In the option of Arum, Joshua's worth in the United States is being watered down by having his fights on DAZN. Joshua's fights are carried on pay-per-view in the UK by Sky Sports Box Office.

“Joshua is completely isolated because he has in effect, been captured and rolled into this DAZN arrangement. This frankly inhibits his ability to make major fights and his ability to really become a factor. He’s fighting in the US against Miller but it’s on DAZN. Nobody has DAZN," Arum told World Boxing News.

Bob is right about AJ fighting on DAZN. The reason AJ is fighting in America is to build his profile here. Why put him on an app that has less subscribers than those who bought the Wilder-Fury PPV? That makes no sense. But it helps Hearn and that's why Bob said AJ is being misled by Hearn.
