Devin Haney admits Eddie Hearn doesn't have a plan for his career

[CasperUK]

Considering that you can't get DAZN where you live, how the **** would you know?


I have DAZN, and no. It's not boxing's biggest network or boxings biggest anything.

Dip****, whatever boxing that DAZN broadcasts, I can watch on Sky Sports and Sky Sports Box Office. It's part of the deal Sky and DAZN have.

Tell me who is bigger than DAZN, with bigger funding?

They certainly have the best overall fights though. I have sky sports which effectively is the same as dazn and I’m not even tempted to buy bt sports which is effectively espn. Showtime generally have stuff for American fans but outside wilder have recently been nothing appealing to me at all. Wilder has been picked up by sky anyway so been able to watch, the others I don’t think have.

In the UK matchroom are now a long long way ahead of anyone else. Frank Warren literally has two men, one of which (fury) isn’t even fighting uk time.

In the US the gap is clearly not as long but if you could only choose to watch one set of fights I’m sure the majority would be picking dazn. I’ve setup a seperate thread/poll to test this theory

That's the problem though, it's 2020 and there's no excuse not to have every station to watch boxing on unless you're a network/promoter groupie. I don't even have cable, but I never miss a card regardless of who the promoter is (if it's a UK card, it's 50/50 because I might have **** to do that day)

Haney was boxed out before he got hurt. He got hurt in a fight he took because Lomachenko refused to fight him. Bob tried to get Teofimo for the vacant WBC belt but that didn't work so then he got Lomachenko for the vacant WBC belt. Haney got boxed out from fighting Teofimo, Campbell, and Lomachenko.

That is true. However, I can understand why Hearn would prioritize Campbell over Haney in terms of the Loma sweepstakes: Campbell is 11 years older and doesn't have many chances left, and Hearn needed a UK fighter to justify bringing Loma over to the UK.

Keeping Haney busy after Abdullaev wasn't necessarily a bad move; I doubt all parties involved thought Haney would get injured. ***** happens. Hopefully Haney uses his off-time wisely.

Each promoter is moving their pieces as best they can, and Hearn is currently at a disadvantage. He, and Haney by extension, need Campbell to beat Fortuna in order to legitimize Haney's new WBC title. If Fortuna wins, he becomes a viable opponent for Davis (good for us and bad for Hearn). Once again, Campbell is under pressure to deliver for DAZN/Matchroom. I don't think Hearn really expected Luke to beat Loma, but Fortuna is definitely beatable.
