Deontay Wilder has entered talks with DAZN to fight AJ

I have a feeling that Hearn is going to run out of money and be in big trouble.

Hearn doesn’t give a fuck. It’s not his money he’s throwing around.

Same, he needs to pace himself. All this money and you'd think they could afford some decent arena lighting .

That's a boatload of egos in a room though. So Hearn, Finkel, DiBella and Haymon will have a 'sit down'. Hey I hope it bears fruit but those existing politics will make Washington D.C blush. Hearn would do well not to get too carried away juuuust yet with Miller right around the corner. Stranger things have happened .

That simply isn't going to happen
DAZN is owned by the Perform Group who are owned by this Group called Access Industries.
Trust me money is never going to be a problem.
They've already invested massively and will just continue to sign up all the top fighters until the other tv networks break.
Why do you think HBO quit boxing and Showtime are set to follow?
They simply can't compete financially.

But we have seen it time and time again to where boxers are promised tons of money and then the platform ends up not being able to pay it all. Then the fighters don’t end up fighting and it’s a mess. I wouldn’t be shocked if some of these DAZN fighters don’t get paid and have to get out of the contract. It’s a lot of money that’s going to these fighters and it’s going to be tough to earn it back.

I don't agree, firstly DAZN can do what Man City FC have done and just throw money at it until it works,
Access Industries are an absolute Giant of a company who own metal mines all over the world, we are talking serious serious money here. (Trillions upwards)
Warner Bros, Deezer, DAZN etc are just the little fish they own.
They aren't going to just pull the plug after the hundreds of Millions they've already invested and they can and will just keep outbidding the competition and signing up the rest of the top fighters.
Sooner or later DAZN will be the only true player in Boxing just like Netflix is with films & Boxsets.
At $9.99 per month with no hidden extras and no contract only an absolute fool of a fight fan who can access DAZN won't already have it.
Just look at who they've already signed in under 6 months and that was with no real stable.
Now they are signing the elite left right and centre it'll be even easier to sign the rest of them.
Why do you think Wilder is in talks.... because he wants a piece of the mega money while he can get it is why 😉

Well I really hope you are right. It would be nice if they could do more of a UFC type of a thing where DAZN becomes the company where the best fighters go to and you have smaller places where less stellar fighters fight. I just don’t see that happening.

Yeh.... that may be the direction we're moving toward. Doesn't mean it's good for boxing nor the fans. Boxing will have completely transitioned from a grand sporting event to something you stream on your computer screen. Boxing without all the bells and whistles. Hopefully there will always be a spot for ESPN in the boxing world.

Well MMA has UFC which is the best. It also has Belator, One, Pride, etc which produce good fighters. Most of the best join the UFC eventually. The main downfall with that is that sometimes fighters don’t make the transition so you end up with a lot of what ifs (even more so than boxing has now).

I think that boxing could do something similar and things like ESPN and PBC could have lower cars fighters (like FNFs or things like shobox). Good fighters could make the transition so that DAZN (in this case) only has the absolute best fighters which would only produce the best fights because no top fighter could make a bad fight because there aren’t that many people in each division

technology is going to advance too is the thing, the jump from dial up Internet to broadband was quite a big leap in quality, now fibre optic Internet is getting common in built up areas. Once the Internet connectionS get better stuff like dazn is going to be just like cable. Dazn just got the jump on everyone else with setting up the sports streaming site, eventually all the big.companies will just follow suit and everything will be back to the way it was in cables hey day :S....

Obviously it's still a few years away for the majority to have the required super fast Internet required but it's on its way. Everything will go to streaming I think, Playstation and x box too.


As for dazn having unlimited money I don't believe that the gits financing didn't get rich by being mugs so if they're not seing returns in a few years they'll cut back, in my opinion.of course. I think they are throwing the quids around just now and charging little just to get their name out their and become associated with sports streaming, so far it's working, I think for sure they'll cut back their funding and raise prices and probably lose some sports rights in the future but wotever right now it's the most ridiculously well priced sports thing in Canada.
