Eddie Hearns Wants To Sign Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence

[killakali]

I'm sure he does! If the deal is RIGHT I'm sure even Al Haymon would "ADVISE" that they take the deal. Not sure why fans think Eddie would be "TAKING THEM AWAY FROM PBC AND HAYMON". Haymon is STILL DeGale and Jacobs Adviser and both are with Hearn so

Yes you could see PBC guys on DAZN absolutely! Spence Jr and Mikey Garcia probably not likely, I think both seems to be more into doing their own thing. Spence Jr was just talking about Haymon wanting fighters to have THEIR OWN like he did with Mayweather last week...

Because whoever he signs from PBC would be taken away from PBC lol. It is easy to see. For example if Spence signs then he fights on DAZN cards and no longer on PBC cards. Haymon would still be his adviser but his power and influence would be greatly reduced because Hearn is the promoter. Right now Spence doesn't have a promoter so Haymon calls all the shots for him. That is why he promised him three fights to keep Spence from signing with GBP last year when they promised him Cotto and Matthysse fights.

I don't know a single person who uses Dazn. (...)

... of course you don't know -- Dazn doesn't operate on the U.S. market yet...

[LacedUp]

I would too if I was Eddie!

I think you're a bit confuse as to how Manager, Adviser and Promoter Works! A Good Break Down by Breadman Stephens who actually WORKS WITH HAYMON as J Rock Manager and Trainer...


We as fans just tend to ASSUME how things work and run with it even when it is WRONG. You're given options and a list basically and how much you can make fighting this or that guy. It is not about POWER and treating fighters like your PROPERTY. That is why he has the amount of fighters he has who seem to be very loyal despite being Promotional Free Agents

[Madison Boxing]

he cant do a worse job of promoting them than haymon.

[Boksfan]

Wilder could use a promoter.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but if they are willing and able to throw around this sort of money on boxing, then you can bet your bollocks they are going to be competing for a lot more content in the US as rights deals expire.

This isn't some tinpot Euro sports streaming platform; Perform is owned by Access Industries which is a massive investment group. It has stakes in Warner, Spotify and ****loads of chemical and energy companies.

I don't doubt that they'll try, but you're forgetting that NBC Sports spent a billion dollars to get the rights to EPL on delay.

Turner Sports isn't giving up the NBA rights for anything short of a ridiculous figure, and that's the case for basically every sports property.

The UFC, in a midst of a clear starpower drought, is set to see their rights package (not counting what they've kept separate for their PPVs) triple.

If you're hanging a hot on DAZN simply outbidding everyone for all of the live sports content, I think you're making a mistake.

I feel like I've spent today repeating myself, but I think you are missing some angles here.

They don't need the rights to the country where the sports are based necessarily, because there is so much interest in top line sports all over the world. The NBA, NFL, and MLB to a lesser extent are popular in many markets all over the world. Same with the Premier League, La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and obviously boxing etc.

In the long term, the way a television network is designed leaves it at a disadvantage to an internet streaming service. They are always juggling with programming time, juggling sports, how much air time dedicated to each sport, convenience to the consumer, all problems eliminated by a good internet based streaming service. It is the future on how we will watch sports, and tv in general for sure. It will follow music, and movies.

It will take time, but centralisation, convenience and easy access of information is always the key.

In the short term I think with the financial backing Hearn has, he will have no problems making some high profile signings as well as collaborating and bringing together big fights on both sides of the pond. I think DAZN will continue to expand and move into further countries and bring them content that they normally not have access to.

Eddie throws EVERYONE'S name out there. It's just to get himself attention as a promoter.
This is the same dude that was supposedly "changing boxing forever" this week.

****ing hell, you must have missed the memo. That post you replied to was before the announcement dummy.
