“If you want to fight a dazn fighter you have to sign with dazn”—— Eddie Hearn

"Tank Davis vs. Tevin Farmer should go to a purse bid, the winner of which would win rights to air the fight on their network." -- Eddie Hearn

If Crawford wanted Spence he shouldn't have resigned with Arum--you. Crawford is frozen out--you.

You're always flip flopping when it suits you. No offense but your credibility is shot.

My advice, stop pointing fingers and start pushing for the best fighting the best. It's a start and it really makes you seem kinda old school like your name. After a few weeks of that go back to hate and finger pointing until it gets tired again but switch back every once in awhile so that you're not so predictable.

Peace

And you just outlined why his rush to sign 6 PBC fighters. Without PBC fighters he can’t tap into the loyal boxing fans. Wht dazn has is Mexican American fans who only tune into seeing largely fighters from Mexico and to a lesser extent Mexican American fighters. What he doesn’t have is the white and black (and some Mexican American) fight fans who tune in no matter the ethnicities of the fighters....the real fight fans who love the whole sport. Dazn needs that. Right now all it really has is Canelo....and Canelo fights whomever Canelo wants

Mexican American, Mexican and Puerto Rican boxing fans will often cheer for their own, but above all, they are first and foremost boxing fans. They appreciate the sport and on the whole, are much more knowledgeable about boxing than the typical American sports fan. They are also more apt to recognize the talent and skill of American and other non-Hispanic boxers than Americans are to even know who the best "foreign" boxers are.

That's nonsense, DAZN are shareholders in Matchroom USA.

I don't mean to be a stickler for details, but DAZN can still opt out of the relationship with Hearn's company and still be a shareholder if that makes more financial sense to DAZN in the future.

That was a rumour that was denied by everyone involved. 1:40 "Matchroom USA which we are a shareholder in, we are part of that company".

Ummm being a shareholder has nothing to do with contract they signed which was 2 year minimum with opt in clauses for another 6.... and listening to interview let’s you know they want to get out of business of losing money which is why they dumped the 3g contract into Eddie budget they gave him

Why would a unification go to a purse bid? Makes zero sense from get go.... who gets the bigger percentage? Definitely can’t be farmer he gets booed out arenas and doesn’t sell

Why would Garcia need to sign with Hearn? I thought he was his own boss or was that all bull****? Shouldn't he be brokering his own deal with DAZN?

Mikey is not tied to any particular platform or promoter, but he would need to have settled on a particular promoter for the deal to make sense for DAZN. DAZN would then make a separate deal with that promoter -- akin to the DAZN, Alvarez, GB arrangement. It is easier to have Hearn as the promoter in this case because DAZN has given Hearn a budget and DAZN knows that Hearn will try to fulfill their wishes.

Eddie Hearn proposed Tank get the bigger percentage.

Still, Mayweather Promotions says no...

Possible? Maybe. Probable? Nope and neither is the PBC going to allow Crawford/Spence.

60/40 split still to much for farmer and interview when he talking about Ellerbe being a hater I take it you are mentioning right?
