Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford vs. Shawn Porter: Eddie Hearn Declares He'll Make Purse Bid

[Oldskoolg]

I get what you're saying to a certain extent. My point is this is corporate America at its finest. Capitalism thrives off of competition and this is just another case of Macdonalds v Burger king, Verizon v AT&T or Nike v Under Armour. Al (PBC) has no desire in seeing TR or DAZN succeed, and I assume the feeling is mutual. Unfortunately, we as boxing fans (the consumer) are caught in the matrix. If I was going out looking to buy a burger to eat I have hundreds of options and the suppliers have to fight with each other to deliver the best product to me. If I am a boxing fan in America I only have 3 options with TR PBC GBP (and that lil ugly azz stepchild Dazn) being the only choices. They have a vested interest in seeing each other fail but that sucks for us as boxing fans because we don't have anywhere else to 'buy a burger'. The only outcome we can hope for is Bob Oscar and Al to play nicey-nice with each other and merge (monopolize) and deliver all the burgers we want!

It would be a great day if the big threee promotional outfits in the USA were either on the same network OR realised it was better for business to work together. We have seen PBC and Top Rank work together for the big fights. I believe the future is boxers who have their own promotional companies operating independently with the likes of pbc and Hearn. What Hearn has got to understand is that he needs an actual network option in the USA. Without a network option he will never be able to create a star as Abiby should have found out by now. Had that kid been fighting on FOX, he would have a following.

Because Al Haymon is not in the business of allowing his competitors to profit off of his product. I believe that is the Wharton business school lesson # 1.

So all along it wasn't Crawford's fault it was PBC fighters not wanting to fight him?

I thought Haymon went to Harvard?

I think your logic is faulty. Competition is supposed to help the consumer by driving down prices in a competitive market. This is in theory correct -- and your burger analogy is good in terms of having lots of options means that vendors have to step up their game in order to win your business. You are also right in that it would suck if you have only one place to buy your burger.

The fail in the logic comes when you hope for everyone to merge and create a monopoly. This is precisely the scenario where there is only one place to buy your burger and zero competition to help the customer.

(I would say also the problem is that promoters have exclusive deals with fighters which crushes most of the elements of competitiveness).

That is what Bruce Lee would call the art of answering without answering. Porter is a diffent type of fighter to Postol and Gamboa and he is bigger than Postol or Gamboa but what makes him better?

There’s really nothing to say to you. We’ll just wait for the fight to play out. Hopefully you won’t disagree after.

No one watches Dazn. That app his been a disaster. They don’t even live up to their contracts

More ppl have it than pay for PPV's in America. Much more.

The fkk are you talking about burgers? You have already admitted you only hate DAZN cuz you can't stand Eddie Hearn cuz he said something that got you all butt hurt like a soppy little girl.

The thing with the burgers is very rarely do those restaurants open on the same night so you don't have to choose one over the other. DAZN, Top Rank and PBC cards rarely operate on the same evening. And the difference in taste between a DAZN burger and a PBC burger ain't that different, not 60 or 70 dollars worth of different and to be honest you buy a juicy PBC 90 dollar burger yet the fries and shake taste like crap. Their undercards suck ass for a 90 buck ppv

You have me confused with one of your imaginary enemies. Not once in my response to you did I mention DAZN or PBC
My response to you was about Shawn Porter so you can have your Kahuna Burgers with cheese if you like. I’m good

I think the short of it is the Merrkans are getting panicked that evil foreign invader Eddie Hearn may sweep in with the highest bid which will then get Porter to walk away from a world title fight and look like a duck.. Very funny watching the panic unfold as the foaming rabid and illogical hatred of Hearn seeping out like tears on this forum.
