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

[richardt]

Hearn, Warren and other British promoters main concern is the British boxers in Britain and they'll be focusing and sorting those guys out first and foremost..

Of course they'll have people working over in yankeeland but that won't be these guys main concern.
I'm sure swanky Frank will have his fingers in Bob's pie over in Navada, if not he would be in close contact I imagine...

But the point is, Hearn doesnt have anything lined up in Britain and could have started the process. The only thing he did was tease using his estate which would have been a great choice but no word since he teased that possibility. 100 year old man beat him to the punch.

Not for June. Same with the rest of the promoters. They got beat to the punch by a 100 year old man.

UK boxers could start sparring only 2 days ago

It was doomed for failure the minute Alvarez signed that ridiculous contract

There's nothing from what I've read/heard that boxing is allowed in Britain in June..

Unless I've missed something...

No "BOXING FAN" should want to see DAZN or PBC on FOX and Showtime or Top Rank on ESPN FAIL!

That would mean even Less Boxing and even worse a lot of fighters left without a Network or APP to fight on and I personally don't wish that on any of these fighters they have families to take care of

Canelo Alvarez is the only thing that drove subscriptions to DAZN USA. Without him who knows where they'd be.

Which means lower profile fighters can be ready for a fight in 4-6 weeks. But Hearn is only keen on big fights with an audience but doesnt show interest in smaller fights with no audience. Fighters whould be training like they will fight in early July but until Hearn announces something, anything, the sport with the exception of Arum is on standstill. Especially since Showtime, Goldenboy, and PBC have done nothing for June or early July.

Everything I've read shows early July but the problem is Hearn only wants to do big fights with an audience or maybe and that is a maybe without an audience but is showing hesitancy to do any fights with no audience soon, even smaller fights which is where promoters should start. Problem is PBC and Showtime also have not announced anything when the fact is, there are places that will allow studio fights to be held. Showtime's Espinoza has been quiet as a church mouse. Of all the US/British promoters, only one decided to get the sport we love so much kickstarted when in fact, it should have been others taking the reigns like Arum did.
