Hopefully this kills all the Thurman, Charlo, Spence talk.

OK, so here's what we've got for the US schedule.
October 6, Chicago:
Jessie Vargas headlining
Katie Taylor vs Cindy Serrano
Artur Beterbiev vs Callum Johnson
Big Baby Miller
Demetrius Andrade (maybe)

October 20, LA:
Daniel Roman vs Gavin McDonnell
Maurice Hooker vs Alex Saucedo (maybe)

Hearn also says there are 3 or 4 more signings coming in the next few weeks that he hopes to have on the LA card

You aint getting the best guys half way through an Olympic cycle

That was the question I posed. Could he not sign guys who are aiming for the 2020 Olympics? Is it if they sign with him they would have to go pro?

[IMDAZED]

Obviously not the big stars that Hearn was hoping to sign I'm sure, but some solid additions. I think the key for this in the early going, will be using that huge amount of cash to convince other top guys to fight his fighters on his cards. If you can't get big names then you have to make competitive fights, we'll see if they can do that

That’s just not happening.

[KTFOKING]

And here is the reality of the situation. ESPN+ got Top Rank guys who are legit stars and P4P fighters, as well as the UFC, some NBA, MLB, MLS and NFL content. DAZN got lower level MMA organization in Bellator, Matchroom who didn't have a US stable minus a few fighters, and possibly the EPL. DAZN has to wait until the NBA and NFL rights open up. They HAVE to obtain them or else this will be a complete and utter failure, not just the boxing part. Casuals don't care enough about Boxing/MMA to pay 10 bucks a month for it, especially when it doesn't have any of the superstars or just stars in general.

Going need Joshua to carry that dazn deal which means no Joshua/wilder fight anytime soon unless he get some better marquee names

Hopefully this kills all the Thurman, Charlo, Spence talk.

For guys like Spence who are headlining a much bigger platform in SHO and making good money, it made no sense making the move. Maybe one of the Charlo's will eventually get upset at not headlining and fighting on UCs and make the move, but aren't at that stage yet.

And Thurman gets all the big fights and makes great money. Why the hell would he make the move?

Hearn could theoretically sign some of these guys if he offers stupid money like $5 million a fight to Mikey Garcia. Will he do that? He is big at looking at the balance sheet as he says and doesn't like losing money on shows, but he will have no choice IMO.
