Is DAZN destroying boxing?

[rickJen]

Kovalev's management team wanting $12 mil for a Canelo fight?
Is this a joke or what?
A bigger guy 3 divisions heavier is the one demanding huge money?

Canelo even surpassed Mayweather, the PPV king, now,
whose opponents averaged only $1 mil in purses, many times over.
What in Neptune is happening?

Why would anyone fight the top guns now for less than $5 mil?
Wilder vs Joshua wasn't made because of money.
Titles didn't even mean anything. It's terrible.

I don't even know where to begin.

No it isn't, boxing politics in general has ruined boxing long ago.

[Robbie Barrett]

How is it DAZN? You had Golovkin turning down $15 mil and demanding 50% against Canelo before DAZN was in boxing.

There are 20 things that are hurting boxing, and I would put DAZN near the bottom of the list. Promoters and Politics are always whats keeping the big fights from happening. You could have Top Rank, Golden Boy, Matchroom, PBC, etc. all under the same network and I'm sure they wouldn't get any more accomplished.

I mean Wilder was offered $12 mil for 3 title shots.
He turned them all down saying it's a lowball offer.
A guy who averaged $1.2 mil per fight, made $2 mil in the Ortiz fight.
I mean why even offer that kind of money?
Why not $4 mil, $5 mil, then go from there?
Why even assume DAZN will make billions out of that fight,
when in reality it's a gamble. Nobody knows what the profitability of it is/was.
And look what happened?

Why would Charlo, for example, fight GGG for $1 mil now?

GGG is such an idiot for negotiating and ending up with 45% of the purse. He should listen to posters on NSB and make less money.

DAZN isn’t ruining boxing, they’re overpaying for boxing. That thing Eddie Hearn swears Al Haymon does.

And now Wilder is a few fights away from getting the majority of the purse split in an undisputed title fight. What an idiot. He should listen to posters on NSB instead of his management clearly.

Ortiz vs Joshua wasn't made.
Ortiz's team wanted $10 million.
How many more fights will be destroyed because of money?

Why do these clowns assume money grows on DAZN trees?

- -I like Kathy Duva as a small promoter, but she and Kov blew it by not demanding equity in the first Son of Gollum fight that left them paupers in the rematch.

Now they're being greedy...can't fix ******!
