Eddie hearn set to announce major u.s. Streaming partnership with dazn

Sounds good as long as the right fights are made

Wilder, Spence. Garcia, Charlo, Thurman.....

These are just a few of the fighters from the US that currently are not tied to any promotional deals so i'd expect Hearn to sign up the majority of these in the coming weeks.

Also Anthony Joshua is now a free agent in the US and Dazn/Perform Group will simply outbid any other US offers and snap him up as well (I'd be amazed if that isn't announced soon)

Hope Hearn signs up Wilder too so the fight gets made

If your a World class fighter and a free agent you'd be a fool not to wanna be a part of this especially knowing they have more finance to throw at fights than HBO and Showtime combined.

Hearn has just moved the goalposts big time

Mick Hennessy and Channel 5 boxing will be their main competitors.

Seems like the only way Wilder can get Joshua and the only way Charlo can get Jacobs. Because Eddie has been vocal about wanting both. Hopefully it greases the wheels, rather than becoming a roadblock

I hope it works out sweet.

We really need this in the us. I had showtime and hbo for boxing but got tired of paying 30 bucks a month and waiting for the occasional boxing match. I watch them on YouTube but you guys know watching live boxing is a different feel.

“We have seen in music with Spotfiy and TV with Netflix and Amazon that people will pay a sensible amount of money for a good service,” said the Perform chief executive, Simon Denyer. “We want to be a Netflix for sport.”
Denyer said the company has the financial firepower to be a real threat. He adds that when the hugely anticipated heavyweight fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder is finally scheduled, it intends to out punch HBO and Showtime for the exclusive US rights – which would be a mammoth coup. “If the fight happens we want to show it on DAZN and have a significant budget to negotiate it to get it on the platform,” he said.

If they could get that fight on there, it instantly becomes legit. I hope it works out.

So you just download a streaming application and pay for each individual show?

Sounds like Now TV but did not think they had enough clout to beat HBO and Showtime.
