Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua, DAZN Announce Long-Term Agreement, AJ Leaves Sky Sports

He spent years talking about loyalty lol

Loyal to Hearn I guess...

[Dakuwaqa]

They’ve got to taken into account the high possibility of AJ losses to Usyk again?

Surely

[Bob]

I'm sure the figure will be alot less once he looses again.
Dazn can't be that dumb, can they?

[Get em up]

AJ will continue to fill arenas even with another loss to Usyk. That dude has a cult like following in the UK I personally dont understand it but at least he brings eyes to the sport

[super-x]

You can cry me a river if you like, whether you like him or not AJ is the draw in boxing.

That all changes with a second loss in a row to Usyk. Esp if then Fury goes on to beat Usyk.

[GBP4LIFE]

Who cares..

Usyk will smoke him, good luck with that investment

[The Big Dunn]

Couldn’t care less. Will Dazn be showing him beating up those college kids that clowned him?

Actually that one kid looked like Ruiz so I would take him by ko over AJ.

Eddie Hearn can get bum AJ a 50M/year contract off a humiliating loss but couldn’t get Haney or andrade a decent fight lmao

[deathofaclown]

They must have a lot of confidence that Joshua beats Usyk because I personally see Joshua's stock plummeting with a 2nd loss to Usyk.

These contracts always have a get out clauses if they want or if certain targets are not met

Anyone remember Canelo’s 11 fight deal with DAZN worth $365m? That deal lasted about one fight.

They will cover their backs and can probably pull out at any point, probably with compensation pay off.

No company and their lawyers offer to give out 100m a year without some insurance on their part. You can guarantee that. The figures make for good PR and headlines but the contract clauses are what matters.

If AJ loses to Usyk again and his stock plummets even further and he doesn’t hit certain targets, there’s no way DAZN will be paying him $100m going forward. That will be somewhere in writing.

[LAchargers373]

DAZN is a joke they pay AJ 50M a fight to lose to bums and cruserweights. They pay GGG 20M/fight to take a beating from bum dervychenko beat up the legendary kazil szermeta and Steve rolls lmao. They gave canelo 50M/fight to fight avni yield rom and Liam smith lol. I don’t know how anyone can figure these guys as businessmen? They burn money like it’s going out of fashion. It’s really sad tbh.
