We must all acknowledge that Eddie Hearn is a skilled businessman. Imagine that he has made DAZN pay significantly more than Sky Sports for his boxing events and there has been no quality boost. He organizes boxing events at the same level and gets paid far more money...
DAZN UK people at the top must be looking at the huge sums paid to Earn and wonder why he is delivering turd at the O2, Sheffield then another dose of Paint Dry Parker. If the mugths keep paying, then Eh Day and the fighters keep taking so hopefully people are cancelling the DAZN sub until he provides cards and fights that justify paying £7.99 per month. I personally know many boxing fans and nobody subscribes to DAZN and it is bizarre that there is no commercial deal for bars - perhaps the 60 second plus delay renders the product useless in a public environment.
I would describe him as a conman and scammer. Never mind Savannah Marshall - Earn is the smiling assassin picking people's pockets.
Will DAZN's agreement with Eddie Hearn / Matchroom Boxing run for 5 years? Hearn can laugh all the way to the bank.
Each event Matchroom puts on should in theory net them around errr… £1 million quid in rights fees from DAZN based on twenty events a year over a five year period. Sounds bonkers and probably is. I have no idea what the purses are costing for these fights but it can’t be much more than £250k.
The fee isn’t the same for every card. Total yearly sum will be split depending on cad quality. There’s a reason there’s now a show December 11th. Most of the rights fee for this card has moved to that one
It's an excuse to push a girly bout to the top of the card and pretend that Chantelle Cameron is an O2 headlining draw. Kinda like when Anthony Crolla sold the tickets at the MEN but they made Katie Taylor the headliner to try to make it look like she's a star. Well, the Whyte fight was a good fight and Whyte sells at the O2. So is it safe to guess that most punters weren't too thrilled about being stuck with a Chantelle Cameron main event and claimed their refunds? The rising tide that is womens' boxing, hey...
To the degree Edward should change his name to F@gin. Especially with the not-so-artful Dodger that is Whyte. Wallin/Whyte ticket buyers: " Hey, F@gin, the main events off and the card is crap. Can we have our money back " F@gin: " No!, Now shutup and drink your Gin!!"
