Comments Thread For: Hearn: There Is No DAZN Situation; Meeting Friday To Discuss Upcoming Schedule

[richardt]

Hearn should have already put together some studio fights like Arum did, even if it meant looking for a different location conducive to such events. Same with other promoters, especially those in the US that have access to Nevada now that the casinos and hotels will be open June 4th in Nevada.

Since all the undercards suckk everytime now adays mayb just let the main event go for 20 ****n rounds earn that win /title fight (shxt they box once a/year)

People have to stop bashing promoters, networks and APP.

Really? What the fuck is the deal with the people who bash Top Rank, PBC and DAZN, defending one and bash the others, that is not boxing. I don't care is one APP and Network or whatever, I care they give me fights as a boxing fan.


People hate Bob Arum, Al Haymon, Oscar De La Hoya and Eddie Hearns while chose one to defend and love. Stop this shit and support boxing in general.

Overpayment of fighters is what got DAZN in trouble. The money they offered Canelo was way too much, they could of paid Canelo that money if his fight were on PPV, that's the only way you could justify and recoup those purses, same goes for GGG. In this type of streaming service, the max amount Canelo should of gotten is around 20 million a fight, while GGG purses should be around 5 to 10 million a fight. I mean these guys are paying guys like Andrade, Garcia, 3 to 7 million per fight, that is bad business, guys like Andrade should make about 1 million per fight unless he's fighting a high caliber opponents, Garcia got 7 million to fight I Vargas, come on now that's ridiculous, 1 to 2 million should of been top dollar. Those purses have to come down if they want to get back on track, and I'd suggest putting Canelo on PPV, where non- subscribers pay $60 and subscribers get a discount, maybe around $30 or so to watch the fight. As far as GGG that IDK, he's grossly overpaid and he really doesn't sell PPV unless he fights Canelo ir maybe Charlo, IDK what DAZN was thinking there.

And that lads is what common sense looks like....the post above nailed it

The forum’s financial consultants are at it again. Y’all hit me up I need advice on securing my retirement pension!

Write this down: buy low, sell high.

You're on your own from here on out.

They wildly-overpaid for Canelo and then compounded the problem by giving a $100MM to an aging GGG. Very bad business decisions. Even John Skipper realizes this now. The only way DEAD ZONE can survive is if Joshua fights and beats Fury within the next twelve months, something that will never happen. Meanwhile, Uncle Al and PBC are humming along. And it's killing you drunken Brits!

Makes you wonder why british nationalists hate al haymon so much. I mean haymon didn’t waltz into Cornwall or Cumbria and claim a British takeover, he didn’t attack every English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, or Cornish fighter Who refused to sign with him. Folks need to think real hard why they nationalists (Who arnt even in or have been to the USA) hate al haymon So much.....

[R.KHLMS4LIFE]

Maybe jeff bezos or some rich person from arabia buys dazn . they to me only overpaid in giving fighters like garcia 7m n vargas 3m thats dbl what should get. If your going to keep trying to lure talent with the 500m you paid for ggg and canelo that can be used to buy a whole promotion like quality talent or use it to lure pbc over to dazn comebine pbc matchroom and gb into 1 basically using becoming the ufc of boxing giving fighting the fight often bringing boxing back and viewers. Itd leave top rank and warren as the bellator and one champ of boxing the" 2nd rate "theres talent but no depth

Honestly, the mind boggles. They could all be swallowed by the earth and I wouldn't bat an eye, as someone will just take their place. As you say, I just wanna see the fights, who owns the rights is of no concern to me unless it stops fights from happening. In that case I'm happy for haters to hate on them if it puts pressure on them to sign a deal.

I think some people just like to fangirl over **** as they feel they belong to something (nationality, race, fighter fan club...) I genuinely couldn't care less, best fighting the best regardless of any of that is why I love the sweet science.

Why would it kill Brits seeing Bob moving along? Or anyone else for that matter. They want to see boxing...

Brits aren't sheep who follow one promotion company. They don't hate on top rank because they cream over pbc fighters, they don't hate Warren because of Hearn. They have the mental capacity to actually appreciate a boxer for being a boxer not what name they box under..
