      Its hard to work out whilst hes keeping quiet. Could be the Mexico card and GGG but they could end up being international cards, theres going to be a big push now on DAZN internationally. Haney is first saturday in October.

        Because, as stated, they've had good content, good fighters.

        You've got to come up with some slightly better logic than 'boxing doesn't work on an app'. Boxing is MORE available via an app and LESS expensive than PPV.

        Let me ask you a question.


        Why is dazn failing in america since the content and fighters are so great? Please let me know

        Like you said. Its cheaper than ppv and they still cant get american subscribers. Why is this?

          It's sad but you could see it coming, DAZN came in with an exciting potential change up and the US didn't want to know.

          UFC is going to continue growing and boxing will be a fringe sport in 10 years time.
          Eddie Hearn has no idea how the American market works and overspent on fighters like Tevin Farmer. His US cards ******.

          Good riddance, I say.

          DAZN USA should have given Golden Boy Promotions the reigns and the big pocketbook instead. Oscar knows how to build up talent and attract viewership.

            I thought you were referring to his US cards in your prior post?

            Supposedly Jacobs is rumored to return late November. I still wonder if Hearn sticks Andrade on the UC?

            So for his US cards he will have the GGG and Haney fights, Jacobs vs Rosada and then in Mexico potentially both Estrada and Chocolatito.

            Then GBP will have hopefully Canelo, Garcia vs Campbell, possibly Jojo vs Farmer II and Linares vs Fortuna?

              Yeah I was, its hard to work out if a mexican card would be considered one of his US dates, or if he'll go international with GGG.

              Munguia will have a GBP date, apparently Tureano Johnson. I think Matchroom have promotional rights to Jojo/Farmer 2, tinkling in my balls has Pacquiao/Mikey in December with Jojo/Farmer chief support, location anywhere.

                Pre co-vid Hearns Saudi card was going to be Pacquiao vs Mikey, Jojo vs Farmer 2, Andrade vs Williams. I assume thats still the plan. Sean Gibbons only recently, according to his twitter follows, followed some Saudi group.

                IFL interview a couple of days ago Hearn said hed been speaking to Carl Moretti for Crawford vs Brook, and was drumming up international TV rights to get the fight together

                  that pac/mikey card isnt a bad one at all...with a very good main event...problem i see is that card i think would be hard to pull off without a gate...without a crowd

                  whats with andrade being the 3rd fight on a card? he should be headlining...in good fights....and hes going to want to be paid well...like he is headlining....

                  brook vs crawford would have been a good fight 6 years ago when brook was 28...even a heck of a fight....him fighting brook now is pointless and i dont think theres much interest in it....if crawford were serious hed be clamoring for a porter fight and wipe the floor with him and tell spences hes waiting....but bud isnt really about that....hes happy taking easier fights and waiting for a big one....him fighting brook now is weak....

                    Ive seen something that ESPN are losing a million+ viewers per quarter, and they aint got football. They aint got the money for a good opponent for Crawford. Papering over cracks, and tryingnot to look bad.

                      that doesnt suprise me.....although college football wouldnt have started yet.....college likely not to happen but the NFL will...they have baseball and basketball playoffs...although watching the basketball playoffs just isnt the same in that bubble arena where theres really no homecourt advantage...i can see why ratings for that are down
