Comments Thread For: Hearn: Arum Under Pressure, Last Ratings Were Extremely Poor

[TheCell8]

Things are looking really bad for Arum. Worse than he thought.

What is always boils down to is star power and ESPN doesn't have any star attractions. PBC/Showtime has Spence and Wilder plus Thurman and Pacquiao. DAZN has Canelo, Joshua and Golovkin.

He missed out on Golovkin. Crawford has no opponents lined up and I can't see Haymon sending any of his guys over there and Crawford will get heavily scrutinized for fighting Mean Machine (who isn't good).

He had to break the bank for Tyson Fury and he has no one lined up for him except for Pulev, who is having a PR nightmare and put up terrible ratings.

ESPN putting pressure on him and Bob will probably end up blaming Haymon for not sending his WWs over to fight Crawford.

Expect Teofimo to start getting aggressively pushed into a title shot. They need him to explode, badly.

DAZN would kill to get the Pulev fight ratings

Even though I want DAZN to succeed, they have 80,000 subscribers in the United States, while ESPN + has 2.5 million.

DAZN has the better matchups.

Crawford vs. Khan

Or

Canelo vs. Jacobs

Which one doesbm better???

Not sure why these guys need to be attacking each other, its like people don't want competition at all. This is one thing i like about PBC/Haymon, they get on with it. They don't see the need to attack a rival.

From Twitter, Instagram and Rick Glaser (I know, we shouldn't believe Rick)

ESPN+ has more than just Top Rank boxing! Damn there a third of ESPN's news content is on ESPN+, plus other sporting events, classic fights, etc.! It's a much more valuable service than DAZN! ESPN will make Fury a star in the states, and worldwide! Arum knows how to sell Fury! There's no build up for Joshua vs. Miller in the U.S. right now! FOX gives PBC a push! ESPN gives Top Rank a push! DAZN? Crickets! ESPN did them dirty too, when they cancelled their interview! Did Arum have something to do with that? DAZN's greatest hope is Canelo Alvarez!
