It is clear if Hearn thought he played a part in this that GBP certainly doesn't think so, or don't think it played much of a part in this. Basically he overestimates the impact he had in this. Skipper is a closer though and that's why he was brought into DAZN. Sure he ended up coking out his way out of ESPN, but he's no dummy. Props to him for closing this deal down.
Back to Hearn, he said they had dinner with GBP and then the next day or two days later the legal team hammered down the deal. Well, in this article it states that Skipper had been in contact with GBP since October 2nd, far before this alleged dinner. Either that or this was when Hearn was trying to get Canelo to DAZN and GBP cut a completely different deal with them.Last edited by KTFOKING; 10-22-2018, 04:46 PM.

Aside from being in the back of a photograph at a press conference.
Since when was he a “programming director” at DAZN as well???
DAZN’s programming is directed by Scott Woodgate NOT Eddie Hearn.
Hearn is merely a partner/client of DAZN the same way Scott Coker and now Oscar De La Hoya are.Last edited by RJJ-94-02=GOAT; 10-22-2018, 04:59 PM.

Skipper is a smart man and know to be able to close the deal, so not surprising he was able to get Canelo on board. Big time move for DAZN.
