    Dazn is having trouble because nobody in America is subscribing. And that was before covid.

    Not even canelo could bring people in.

    Its over for the app. Boxing is a saturday night party/bar sport.
    Why are all these sports channels showing their boxing on apps if it's not an app sport? Why does UFC have a very successful app too? Streaming is the future. That is obvious for all video/sports content.

      More like GBP made a better offer to stage the fight in america. Do you really think Ryan Garcia would have loved to traveled down to the UK to have that fight?

Yikes, have a feeling Skipper flexed on Hearn and told him to take the deal Golden Boy was offering Campbell or else. Guessing, DAZN owner Les Blatvanik is tired of Eddie’s endless spending for mediocre talent that isn’t obtaining any subscriptions for the platform. I also noticed in the interview w/t Hearn was that when Canelo was brought up. Hearn said that even though their both under the same platform in the US he has no clue what’s going on w/t Canelo next fight, LOL. Sounds like Eddie being kept at arms length nowadays by DAZN management team. Starting to look like the beginning to an end for both Hearn and DAZN in the US.
        DAZN obviously want Garcia vs Campbell in the US so they can stream it live. I've no idea why anybody would expect Eddie Hearn to be giving info on Canelo's next fight to the media when Canelo's own promoter is saying absolutely nothing.

          DAZN isn't a US company and it hasn't gone out of business.

          Interesting - to say the least - that you disparage and belittle Hearn's US business at every opportunity, while at the same time blaming him for forcing the mighty HBO out of the sport!

          How did somebody as irrelevant as Hearn manage, in just a couple of months, to do something that PBC, Fox, Showtime and ESPN couldn't do?

            I wonder if DAZN made ROI yet? Anyone know?

            in any case, it's not really problematic if a streaming network have multiple promoters. It just needs more transparency and coordination between promoters.

                I highly doubt it. These sorts of companies run up huge debts and investors won't make money for a while. They have probably written off alot of debts to appease furthur rounds of funding.

                  The reason Hearn aint saying much about DAZN is because its getting beta tested around the world. He's got a load of international dates that hes sitting on announcing til the worldwide roll out is announced.

                  US cards he has 2 in October, 1 in November and December. Pushed the Garcia/Campbell card onto GBP as his cards are already worked out.

                  Wait til the international roll out to see if Hearn is really out of DAZN. People talking **** when they dont really know whats going on
                  What are the two October cards? GGG and Haney cards?

                      Did Hearn really believe Ryan was gonna fight in the UK against Cambell lol Ryan is the A side here he’s the future cash cow of boxing Cambell although legit doesn’t bring in the fans like Ryan.

                      Ryan sold out an arena by himself when he faced Foncesa this is his card not cambell and Hearns.
