Canelo's deal per ESPN 11 fights over 5 years and 365 million dollars

And this money is on top of those proverbial "Eddie's 1 billion"

That's mostly true. The only real problem might be that now almost every network demands that its boxers fight exclusively on it. So, instead of the best fighting the best, we might be forced to watch the best fighting weak opposition...

 

Seems like Canelo won't be losing on scorecards anytime soon.

 

That's a very good point.

 

That's not good for boxing. Throwing a blank cheque at boxers for **** all reasons. Not only is it unsustainable in the long-run, it's only really exciting for boxers. It's no different to Chelsea, City and PSG throwing ridiculous money at players and grossly inflating the market. It eventually all comes crashing down.

 

Total LIE from a 100% Eddie Sperm sycophant.

I **** on Hearn's US "venture" with DAZN.
I **** on anyone who said Hearn was taking over US boxing and he was gonna use DAZN to drive PBC and Top Rank out of boxing.
I **** on anyone who said Hearn was gonna sign all the PBC stars cos he had more money to offer them.

I was 100% right on all counts and I will never back down from any of the above.

I have no issue with DAZN and think they're great for the sport so long as they use legitimate promoters like Goldenboy who have proven US draws like Canelo. I also think they did themselves no favours by listening to Hearn and structuring a BS deal with impossible targets so Hearn could lie about having a billion. That hurt their rep but moves like the GBP one have massively helped swing it the other way.

 

Are you felling okay? Read my post again as you clearly didn't understand any part of it.

If you're still struggling after you do, ask yourself if ESPN+ and DAZN are the same company or not. That might help get your brain working a little.

 

Who is "they"? YOU were against the DAZN-GBP partnership from the beginning. Luckily nobody listens to anything you have to say

 

I understood it clearly. I just dont see how Warren is in competition with DAZN on two fronts?

Bob Arum is competition as ESPN+ have a deal with Arum and Arum runs shows on ESPN. Frank Warren simply provides content for his UK shows. The battle between DAZN, ESPN and showtime has nothing to do with Warren.

 

I think this trend needs to go away as most of the BEST have bumps on their records

 

That would stink for us but EASY money for Big Red

 

Hearn has nothing to do with the DAZN-GBP deal. Nothing at all. What makes you think he does? Even he hasn't claimed that.

You were against the Canelo-DAZN deal from the first moment I mentioned it. Strange for you to now try and pretend to be happy about it.

 

I don't know why you feel the need to lie and make up stories to insult me personally. I've been completely consistent in my opinion on DAZN and Mis-Matchroom. For you to now bring all your negativity back on me is bizarre. It's not my fault Eddie didn't get to sign Canelo or any other big names. You hoped he'd take over US boxing and he hasn't even come close. That's not my fault and there's no need to be so hateful to me for calling him out after I'm proven to have been 100% right.
