Comments Thread For: Hearn: With My War Chest - I'll Build Biggest Stable Ever in U.S.

[Phenom]

With $3M cap per fight he won't get the top guys specially on multi fight contact

Not a smart move to tie yourself for a year or two to a brand new platform that could fail

[angad10]

BS has become a joke....who are you guys calling professional fighters cowards?

biggest joke ive heard in a while. i wont be surprised if its some fat white boi talking **** while hiding in his moms basement .

this is good news. boxing has become such a **** sport, we barely get any huge fights and american promoters like arum, DLH etc are the worst

He has a massive amount of money to spend and knows the game very very well. You don't think he's shrewd? He's milking $25m a fight for AJ after 21 fights, your man getting a 1/10 of that. Dunno why you want to be soo loyal to Haymon anyway, he's the worst thing that ever happened in boxing, he literally has ensured many of the match ups fans wanted in the last decade, never happened. He does not care about fans whatsoever, he's a money man and puppet master.

Being patriotic and being dumb don't have to be the same thing, Hearn and Dana White and all those wanting to disrupt the way boxing is currently delivered are good for the sport. With these guys competing we all end up with more good fights, more often. If you're a fan this is all you should care about.

This article has nothing to do with AJ vs Wilder, we're talking about 100s of fights, focusing on that one event is very narrow (and a waste of effort because it's going to happen soon enough anyway).

Lol.. you have a lot to learn about the boxing business.. most of the deals are under the table.. meaning.. just because hearn says he has a billion dollar deal means nothing.. if the fighter's your trying to sign feels like they have a better deal where they are.. hmmm somethings not adding up.. says hearn.. why are the fighter loyal to haymon.. because he ais paying them more than they report genius.. eddie is on the outside of the American market lookimg in.. he doesnt even realize hes swimming in a pool of trillions.. trying to make waves with just a billion. Lol. Haymon brought us PBC.. Mayweather pac, Mayweather McGregor.. hes the reason showtime is destroying HBO.. he has over 200 talented fighters and they are all happy..

If Hearn's real plan is to have DAZN vs Showtime/CBS, while having his whole effort hinge on Haymon's fighters, he's going to fail miserably.

DAZN is in zero US homes currently; Showtime is already available in something like 25 million homes, and the Showtime app already has 2m+ people streaming the content.

8 years, $1b over the deal ($125m per year, 32 shows per year), with only the first two years guaranteed. smh

If Hearn doesn't do something interesting with this capitalism has failed us cuz seemingly he's got a bigger budget per year than any 3 en****** in US boxing currently (HBO, Showtime & take your pick for the 3rd name) + has a peak era 90's, 00's HBO budget when HBO was kicking ass & taking names on.

Wilder will soon earn with Hearn or be broke with al sharpton/pbs kids lol

Hearn's activities are one part of a larger piece. The plan is to offer an alternative to cable. There won't just be boxing on there, take a look at what they're currently offering in other territories:

Idk about this whole thing about paying 4 another service is going to be a good idea I mean idk how many people like to watch boxing through an app on there phone or on a laptop... it's just dumb an besides the big names aren't gonna go with hearn on a platform nobody knows about they would rather stay with haymon/showtime... he can keep the not so good fighters like chaves jr...

They're banking on viewing habits changing. As more people have netflix and/or Prime the case for cable gets weaker and more and more people will drop it:

DAZN plan to be offering sports fans an easy contract, literally no committment beyond a month, watch at home or on the move etc. May have been a hard sell years ago but now netflix is mainstream it may not be.

Average cable bill is over $100:


Let's say DAZN enters market at $10. You could cut the cable, get netflix and Dazn and save just under a thousand bucks a year.

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom is looking put together a massive stable in the United States - with the recently announced venture with Perform Group. Hearn announced an eight year deal with Perform Group - worth $1 billion - as the British promoter will stage 16 exclusive events per year in the United States for DAZN, which is Perform Group's streaming service.

Everybody is going to get a shock he first two shows featuring Daniel Jacobs total garbarge. None of those fights were fan friendly and will be more the same.

Terrible matchmaker

[Noelanthony]

Do you like to post for shock value or are you truly this ******?

Coward? Team Wilder want to fight AJ . First team AJ insists Wilder must fight Whyte first. Then he must accept a truly low ball offer. Then AJ says gimme 50 million and I'll sign, team Wilders says okay but then AJ backpeddles. Now dispite making less money, team AJ only wants the fight in England. You're calling the wrong side coward. IDIOT!

We are still going on about that? 🤷🏾*♂️ Jimmy is very good at what he does. I like him. You are right too. But can’t we all just be friends?

[Noelanthony]

Lmao.. no one believes you anymore eddie you snake headed son of a b*tch! U offered a.b 2 million a fight.. every fighter u want to sign is loyal to haymon... offering 12.5 million to our heavyweight champ then calling haymons offer a p.r stunt.. then turning down 50 million guarantee plus backend from haymon once you find out the money is real means you're a selfish greedy hog goblin.. trying to hide money from AJ.. which is why AJ said he would accept.. you knew you would get more than that in the u.k.. but was going to tell joshua the fight only made 40 million.. the gig is up.. everybody in America is laughing at you. 12.5 lol. Trying to sign wilder behind AJ back.. u got nothing but a billion dollar donation to the machine.. get ready for the sharks to start circling.. welcome to america fool.. home of the most shrewd and ruthless cutthroat businessmen in the world.

With the most ruthless one running your country with a ginger wig on....... we to are laughing at you

Let the games begin my brotha from another mother🇬🇧
