Jessie Vargas says Haymon negotiated his DAZN deal

Who else thinks the name they chose DAZN is the most ******ed, unnatural sounding name for anything in the history of naming anything? DAZN? How is that supposed to roll off the tongue and become a catchy memorable corporate identity like HBO, ESPN...what a marketing blunder.

Lets hope DAZN can work with Main events, Honda and other promoters as well.

Originally posted by TheBigLug View PostIt's funny how people are writing off Hearn already when it's been literally a couple of months since he announced this DAZN deal. These things take time..
Whether people like the guy or not, i wouldn't write him off, especially after 2 months. He and his dad especially are very smart business men who have been around sports for years and years. The people behind DAZN are not amateurs or stupid, they have been around the entertainment industries for years and have huge backing. They have approached to Hearn for a reason.
There's a gap in the sports market for something like DAZN to grow into something very big and if it does, Hearn's influence will keep growing and fighters will turn to him.
Also, Haymon is just an advisor. If he feels it's financially more beneficial for his fighter to work with Hearn, he will push for that surely? - A guy like Jessie Vargas would be better off with someone promoting him and having a steady and consistent schedule.

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostI think TR and GBP have made there choice and its ESPN. I had hoped ESPN would tear down barriers to making fights but I sense it will be just as problematic.
Lets hope DAZN can work with Main events, Honda and other promoters as well.

Arum and Hearn have a pretty good relationship and hearn has been on record padding bobs ego saying how much he looks up to him.
I think Arum would be fine with letting some of his lesser guys go over on DAZN for a fight and get paid if he cant work the dates for ESPN, but absolutely never in a million years will you see a TR main like bud or loma on there regardless of money
