Why is Showtime no longer covers Matchroom fights?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Man I miss HBO boxing they should've been running boxing if they just stayed with it and made better business decisions

What do you miss most. Lampley calling out phantom punches or Max under the table fellating Roy?

Whyte said he asked Hearn if he was signed to DAZN. Hearn said no. Whyte said why is all this DAZN swag at my press conference. Then he told Hearn to put the fight up for bid. DAZN didn't pass. They got outbid

DAZN have first refusal rights for Matchroom fights. If they equal the highest bid from anybody else, they get the show.

Sky Sports PPV are not part of that deal. Those are open bid fights if Hearn chooses to have others bid on them.

Eddie has ruined every US network relationship.

When dazn goes down so does Hearn in USA.

Guy has burnt so many bridges.

That just sounds like the empty words of a shill, they hold no meaning or value.

Where is the proof that showtime got outbid? All the reports that came out from neutrals were DAZN had first refusal on the fight. They passed on it. Whyte is a free agent, who manages his own career, he isn’t a slave. He doesn’t get money from DAZN So anyone can bid or outbid DAZN And his fights would be shown on those networks. That’s the great thing about being a free agent.

Lol who cares. Showtime is pretty much dead

More like the funding is not there. They spent all their money overpaying Wilder just to keep him from crossing the street.

DAZN have the the same rights whether the fight is on Sky PPV or not.

No they do not. Eddie explained that when explaining his deal with DAZN.

No they do not. Eddie explained that when explaining his deal with DAZN.

Yes they do.

DAZN have right of first refusal to all Matchroom UK fights. It makes no difference whether they are on Sky PPV or not because there is no overlap between the territory covered by DAZN and Sky PPV.
