Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya, Eddie Hearn Trade Words Over Canelo Alvarez

[kafkod]

Sounds like Oscar is under pressure from DAZN. They want something back for all the money they gave his boy Canelo.

[Robbie Barrett]

Andrade is a matchroom fighter. So of course Hearn has interest in who Canelo is fighting.

Sounds like Oscar is under pressure from DAZN. They want something back for all the money they gave his boy Canelo.

I think it's the other way around. Hearn made promises he couldn't deliver using the name of other fighters and just got his top earning fighter smashed and ruined. Matchroom has underperformed on DAZN. Skipper had to step in and make a deal directly with Canelo and Golden boy to get better boxing content. who are putting on better cards and driving subscribers Golden boy or Matchroom?

Canelo is the only thing keeping boxing on DAZN afloat at this point.

Hearn has Andy Ruiz problems.

Ruiz means money for Hearn right now. The rematch with AJ is going to be a huge fight.

[Robbie Barrett]

Did not expect this.
Most likely Hearn doesn’t like that Canelo isn’t interested in a third GGG fight.
He may have made promises to GGG that it would happen if he signed with DAZN.
Hearn may have written some checks he couldn’t cash using the Cash Cow’s name and De La Hoya wasn’t having it.

Golovkin isn't a matchroom fighter, Andrade is.

Hearn just comes off as a major dyck and rubs promoters wrong because he is constantly speaking on fighters he doesn't have under contract. Now he's rubbing promoters wrong who are also on DAZN.

He should just keep his mouth shut on Canelo because he doesn't have him under contract or control who he fights. If not for Golden boy DAZN would be in major trouble because Hearn ain't deliverying. Canelo and Golden boy keeping DAZN lights on. Golden Boy cards and WBSS are consistently better then Matchroom cards.

If you recall before Canelo announced Jacobs as his opponent for May, Hearn was doing interviews saying well DAZN wants Jacobs so that's who Canelo will fight. Hearn was hand picked by DAZN to start this boxing operation. And it doesn't sit well with DLH that Hearn as much say as he does when it is clear that Canelo is the one driving the subs, no one else. Hearn was saying for MONTHS that the GGG trilogy is the fight DAZN wants and that will take place in September as if it was a done deal. DLH and GBP realize just how much more leverage they have knowing without Canelo, DAZN would hardly have any subscribers. Basically, he doesn't like the thought of Canelo being trapped in doing whatever DAZN wants him to do.

These two clashing was only a matter of time. GBP wants the budget and dates that Hearn has. Will they get it? Not sure, but definitely something to monitor.

What did Hearn say?

[KTFOKING]

DAZN needs De La Hoya (Canelo) more than they need Hearn. Hearn should tread carefully. He’s too used to having everything his own way due to his exclusive Sky deal over here.

Both these guys should stop nitpicking with each other and focus on working together, DAZN is gonna need both these guys to perform better if they want to compete with PBC and Arum.

I mean no doubt Canelo is far and beyond the most valuable commodity on DAZN. However, DAZN's top executives have personal relationships with Hearn and they hand picked him for a reason. But that is also what is ticking DLH off. Like my guy is the only one bringing in any money for DAZN, yet you give Hearn this big budget and give him a say in what we do? Remember, Hearn will be quick to let everyone know that he is a special advisor or whatever the hell title he uses for the boxing operating at DAZN.

[Randall Cunning]

Just like theres beef between Hearn, Schaefer and DiBella, and then the next moment theyre saying how much they like each other. Making a mountain out of a molehill

[Robbie Barrett]

I think we can definitely rule out an Andrade fight in September. With DLH saying Canelos next fight doesn't involve Hearn.
