Appreciate you responding though, put your vote in.
This is totally different on DAZN. They gave Matchroom $125 million per year to put fights on their streaming service. And then they bought rights to the WBSS outside of the Matchroom deal.

Originally posted by THEFRESHBRAWLER View PostLmao comparing the biggest sport in the world soccer to boxing is your first mistake. That has no relevance to boxing. Why would you even compare PL to Boxing? Question is how much are they paying for BOXING?
They simply don't have the money for that and neither does haymon.
Lol underestimating Al again. The guy who just offered AJ and Eddie 50 million dollars. Combined with DAZN he could definitely do it. All he would need to do is bring in someone like David Haye to solve the problem you’re talking about.
DAZN cannot compete in the UK with BT and BskyB.. they don't have the money to buy the TV packages that UK sport costs!! Whats so hard to understand about that? You need those packages from other sports to supplement the boxing and vice versa!
But no.. your right. dAZN UK will definitely launch with no homegrown boxing content.. football content or any other supplementary UK sports content worth a damn because AL Haymon came along and they get the now retired David haye to do whatever the **** you think he'd do. I hope to god you mean ringstar and hayemaker promotions by the way because I'd love to tell you why that wouldn't work .
You have absolutely no comprehension of why Hearn has no interest either financially or legally in a DAZN UK or why even if they made it.. he would never leave sky.
DAZN would flop in the UK.. because we have no interest in sports we don't identify with and we have very little interest in the sports we like but played in other countries.

He contractually was and would be again, well within his rights to ask sky not to bid for that fight but he he has gone on the record many times stating that if sky want s fight like that it only helps their network which in turn helps him. Of course he gets money for that.. he was originally supposed to have one of his cards shown on sky before they switched to the Klitschko fury fight.

Btw, DAZN is very likely to flop in the United States as well if they don't get NFL or NBA rights in a few years. I get that they are trying to get in the combat sports market, but the big name fighters will be on ESPN or HBO or SHO, and UFC will be on ESPN. So they don't even have the biggest names for the combat sports they have invested in. That's why it is so important for them to put Joshua/Wilder on DAZN in 2019. They are hoping that fight gets them a lot of subscribers and they could go from there. Hearn needed to lock down the likes of Broner/Spence/Wilder to have ANY chance, and that has not happened....at least not yet. And I don't think there is any chance he ever gets GGG/Canelo/Crawford/Lomachenko which will be a big blow in the grand scheme of things. He could try to get fighters like Kovalev/Bivol/etc but what will that do?
Really interested in how this plays out.

This is what I'm saying. Hearn has such a cult following that folks buy anything he says. He is the master spin master. Extremely good at what he does.

You can't launch a ****ing app in the UK just with Al haymons boxing are you ****ing nuts?!? DAZN and al would be laughing at you right now if they could see this.

How on earth would DAZN US take off in America when you have the big 3 Showtime, ESPN, HBO then you have other networks like CBS, FOX, Bounce etc showing the boxing the American fans already care about
