Comments Thread For: Hearn: Boxers' Purses Completely Out Of Control; Part My Fault, DAZN's Fault

[mxtali]

Should have though about this before you paid Garcia 7 million to fight Vargas. I remember when the NFL got out of control like this and they had to introduce a rookie salary cap.

Yeah i can’t see how anyone besides Vargas and Mikey made money from that fight. A combined 10 mil for their purses is insane.

Or Dazn is out of money and Eddie is acting like they are pulling back purses. Bye bye Dead Zone

Nah, I've had DAZN for a year now and its been a solid deal. Lots of big fights on the horizon, so its one subscription that I'm glad to renew.

DAZN's problem is they have a limited number of fighters, and can't get those fighters to fight each other. PBC has a similar problem, but their stable is deeper. DAZN should be able to have Manny vs. Mikey, Devin vs. Kingry, and Andrade vs. GGG in 2020! Those are must-see TV!

Hearn tried to buy his way into the American market, throwing money around, signing made names for huge sums. I knew somebody was going to start crying, but I didn't think it would be Hearn. Andy put the brakes on his benevolence. He ran Hearns star out of town, now there won't be an American conquest. After that 20 million Andy payday, Hearn is talking about doing shows in his tool shed, like he's trying to save boxing.

The best part is that all the Pro Al Haymon phagg0ts in this thread bragging about how bad DAZN is didn’t realize the article didn’t talk shet about GBP because Matchroom is 2nd place up in this hoe!

We in dis thang mayne!

[Canelo and GGG]

yea and now fighters wont be happy about pay cuts ,but its needed ,things are getting out of control if Garcia is getting 7 milions for Vargas ,if i remember correctly Canelo made 5 milions for Cotto fight in 2015 ,**** is insane.

None of that matters.

Re-evaluation is across the board. That’s how markets work. Only fools think PBC or Top Rank wouldn’t be affected by the crisis in that many fights won’t be green lit or re-evaluated with purses. Floyd said it recently which meant he and Haymon have those board meetings about PBC value and what’s to happen for television.

Why would DAZN fighters leave to make even less when PBC or Top Rank have no guarantees with its current state of boxing?

im not saying that they will leave ,they will just not be happy about it , And what with guys like Canelo ,they are obligeted to pay him 35m per fight by contract ,and they are loseing big money on his fights .

[Combat Talk Radio]

Some of you are missing the point.

Terence Crawford gets a guaranteed $3 million minimum no matter who he fights.

That's not value for the customer.

Yeah. That was a crazy deal on their part. Pacqiuiao and Floyd were gettin paid usually between 20 mil to 32 mil and they were doing a million ppvs on average. Canelo and GGG getting 35 and 15 mil respectively on a non PPV platform is a massive bleeding. Noway they are making money.
