      Yeah, I think so.
      How many fighters refused to fight for $1-2 million not involving DAZN?
      Ortiz wanted $10 million. Is he demanding that kind of money in the Wilder 2 fight? No.
      Wilder turned down $15 million when he's only averaging $1.2 mil in his last 4 fights after the Ortiz fight.
      Even guys casuals never heard of like Derevyanchenko can't be satisfied with $5.5 million.
      When in the past you gotta have a name to demand that kind of money,
      in other words, you're contributing something to the table.
      Canelo who already had a name only took $2.5 million in the Floyd fight.
      What the hell is happening?

        I predict DAZN will give up boxing soon.
        Fights are getting more and more astronomically expensive to make.

          Boxers are always wanting to make the most, just with Dazn and Canelo they think theirs no downside to asking for more money, look at everyeone who tried to froce canelo for more money they felt Canelo had no choice but to accept it so they tried it.

          With mayweather people knew mayweather had so many other options that they didnt dare rock the boat and miss out on their payday.

          You dont think kovalev is feeling some type of way from missing out on his career high payday?

            Boxers making too much money is bad for boxing?

              DAZN limiting a fighters options to only two opponents, gives the oppontents the leverage to ask for more because they know the fighter has no other options.

              If there is no limiting of opponents then the fighter has the leverage to find the opponent who is willing to get paid market value.

                Yeah, Hearn has been around in the business for a long time,
                yet he still doesn't seem to do well in negotiations.
                Arum always had 2nd, 3rd choices to keep the 1st choice
                from getting too greedy.
                It's needs to be a take it or leave it proposition,
                hook line and sinker.

                  DAZN needs to put a stop in putting all their eggs in one basket.
                  You can blame Hearn for this ******ity, ie, Brook/Khan, Wilder/Joshua, etc.
                  They end up spending astronomical sums of money and giving it all up in one basket.
                  They need to take a page out of Arum's playbook by presenting
                  at least 3 choices for their fighters.
                  Duboeff sent offers to Danny Garcia for the Crawford fight, for example.
                  Garcia wanted no part of Crawford as we found out.
                  TR moved on, everyone move on.

                    It's driving me crazy when I see Hearn making these gargantuan offers
                    to pathetic boxing clowns (PBC) whose only rep is to line up bums getting
                    paid $1-2 million.

                    This needs to stop. It's like rewarding undeserving clowns.

                      i think their paying large to out out compete the rivals promotors and try to get them out of business as much as possible, taking away fighters by giving better fee's etc
