Comments Thread For: What's Happening With DAZN? - Part One

[Oldskoolg]

Showtime will be airing Claressa Shields, Gevronta Davis, Jarret Hurd, Danny Garcia, Jermall Charlo and Jaron Ennis all within 3 months of each other. How are they out of boxing?

They arnt, the ultranationalist brexiters want it to be though because they think it somehow benefits Eddie Hearn and dazn

They have the rights for Premier League in Canada.

Doesn’t do much for the USA now though does it

Just like DHL had to do when they lost ground in America, focus on international markets. There is strength in numbers.

LGBT is what they call the LDBC

Ahh the boxing video journalists on YouTube? The English hate them too? Why? Arnt most of them American coloured blokes? Ahhh makes sense why they hate them so much. I met a couple of them at the CHarlo fight in Houston, one was an attorney from Dallas the other was an entrepreneur from California....both wealthy and upstanding fellows. Enjoyed the convo. I’ve read they are sponsoring boxers now with some of their income from those channels. More power to them. As a ***, it’s great to see wealthy black Americans circulating their dollars among other black Americans. That’s how you create community wealth and political power....and therein lies the reason PBC and al haymon are hated. Same reason why the freed men’s town of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma was destroyed....folks HATE seeing prosperous coloured people spreading the wealth and success among each other.
By the way, these Hearn KKKlan ultranationalists on this forum HATE you bro....well done.

The bottom line is this.

As a fan you can either defend the status quo which favors the Boxer (Boxers that you're a fan of), sucking dry what's left of the Boxing market.

Or you can get on board with the Dana Whyte business model of underpaying fighters (or at least relative to what boxers make when an event sells) but getting all the good fights since UFC = MMA and no fighter can just walk out and be his own Floyd Mayweather. Even McGregor knows that.

If you wan the fights you wanna see, you should be in favor of returning to the "Slave Wages" of the past where fighters were forced to fight the big fights just to get that extra money.

Are those the only two options?

This was a good read. I wish they'd do more articles like this one.

Mikey vs. Vargas is one of those OK fights that's being promoted as a mega fight. DAZN shills are calling the Paul-Gib card "stacked" even though the main and co-main fights are garbage. Davis vs a featherfisted non-threat like Santa Cruz will be PPV. What little sanity there was left in the sport has completely gone out the window and it's now all about which carnival barker can yell the loudest and sell you on their scam.

Ali, Frazier, Dempsey were not making slave wages. They were getting millions and still fighting the best.

This was a very well written article. Even on both sides.

[DClefthook]

did you read the article?
it merely quotes john skipper, the bit where he's quoted from an interview with boxingscene is very small. hauser just quotes stuff skipper has said in other interviews with other ppl.
furthermore none of the information relevant to their 'business model' was used here.

he lacks credibility because he's for hire.
it didnt go unnoticed that after he put out the antimatchroom/whyte articles..hje was then sitting next to eddie hearn.
prob got paid off by dazn.
suddenly the guy is praising them whilst appearing impartial.
sure.

he was anti al haymon, then became pro al haymon after he was paid off

No. Dan Rafael was paid off by Eddie Hearn. The idiot even said it out loud, IN FRONT OF CAMERAS AND RECORDING DEVICES! HOLY MOLY!
