Issue with DAZN...

[_Rexy_]

DAZN has quite a few great talents, I think Madrimov is going to be the real deal, and Martinez is a lot of fun too. Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, etc. etc.

Why the **** don't they promote these guys? Having them isn't enough, they should be BUILDING these stars.




and lets have an actual discussion and not just call me a hater.

They promote the guy while the fight is on and think that’s enough. I didn’t even know Madrimov was on this card.

What else do you think they should be doing?

If you think Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia haven’t been making noise then you’re living under a rock. NSB doesn’t represent the guys you mentioned. I’d say Vergil Ortiz hasn’t been talked about enough like Haney or Garcia. Martinez is under Reynoso, just like Valdez. They don’t need heavy promotion like those you mentioned. In fact I don’t see any issue with DAZN.

And they put Parker in a tuneup on the main card instead of Madrimov. And they'll never mention him again until his next fight is announced.

What else do you think they should be doing?

Promote them! interview them! get them in the public eye! You have to do more than just have a fighter and talk him up during his fights.

They do promote them. They post a bunch of their highlights on their youtube/ social media pages. I don't know what else you expect.

Yeah, Hearn should use his magical promoting powers to get Madrimov on a game show like Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune. That would really make him a superstar.

One thing that DAZN could do is have a weekly boxing show. A round table where they discuss boxing news and promote their own fighters. A little podcast isn’t enough.

They had Garcia giving commentary on the KSI-Paul fight...also maybe on the other Paul fight too? And then had Devin Haney there during the interview with KSI and Paul before the other brother's fight as well.

I don't disagree with you that they could probably do more to promote their rising stars...just was curious as to what ways in particular you had in mind...and no disrespect as I like you Rex...but I believe you were sh.itting on DAZN for showing the Youtube fights...but doing stuff like that, and having Haney and Garcia around when those fights are happening/being talked about, is a great way to promote those guys.

I think Garcia and Haney have gotten some good buzz over the last year.

I had never heard of Martinez so I think you have a point there...but Madrimov got some good shine on the undercard of a GGG fight...and he has only fought 5 times as a pro so I don't know what all they can do to really hype him up at this point.

For most guys they need to promote themselves...through saying entertaining things etc or through performing exciting/well in the ring.

Yeah that would be a good idea...something like that, which can reach a little more mainstream audience, and regularly.
