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

[Primo Carnera]

I just read that De La Hoya has done a direct deal with DAZN and completely bypassed Hearn/Matchroom.
To be honest it doesn't make much difference it's just very good news for DAZN and anyone associated with them.
You can basically get DAZN for a whole year for a little bit Less than one Canelo PPV on HBO.

So a 5-year, 11-fight, record-setting $365M (minimum) contract. Pretty sweet. @TitoFan will be so happy for Canelo.

Fuck me, I hope Fielding beats him now. Ridiculous.

11 fights, roughly 2 fights a year as usual. Hard to keep him away from challenges over that length of time.

This is HUGE

Alvarez's deal is the richest athlete contract in sports history, eclipsing the 13-year, $325 million agreement that New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton signed in 2014 when he was with the Miami Marlins.

That deal is ridiculous! It’s one of those very fortunate things where Canelo is a good fighter, but because he is Mexico’s best fighter, the whole country of Mexico supports and watches him.

I honestly don’t at all see him lasting at his current level for 11 fights. It’s a great deal for him though because even if he keeps losing, he still makes a ton of money. So at this point maybe he will fight the best fighters because there is no chance of him losing out on future earnings.

Let's not forget that DAZN is only $120 a year compared to 2 Canelo PPV fights a year that cost around $160

As well as The MMA stuff and all the Matchroon/Hearn UK/US fights you get all of GBP back catalogue on demand and 11 of their shows too.

It's a no brainer for $10 per month

The DAZN-Golden Boy deal includes a large production element, which places Oscar De La Hoya as Executive Producer of the 12 live fight nights annually. The live productions will be a collaboration between DAZN and Golden Boy Media and Entertainment, De La Hoya’s in-house production arm, and will push the boundaries of traditional boxing shows by incorporating new features with virtual graphics and social media interaction.

Oscar De La Hoya’s 7,000-hour library of fights spanning his career as a boxer and a promoter are included in the partnership and these classic bouts will be available on DAZN. Additionally, Golden Boy Media and Entertainment will produce volumes of shoulder programs for the DAZN platform, including live studio shows such as “Between the Ropes” and its award winning “Mano a Mano.”

Eddie Hearn is like a pig in shit 😁
I agree with him that this is the begining of the end of PPV in Boxing and possibly (as Bob Arum is suggesting) the death of Showtime Boxing.

Another good thing about this deal is GBP and Hearn possibly working together. A Rey Vargas vs Daniel Roman super-bantam unification has already been discussed.
