    Means nothing when it comes to DAZN or Sky Box office does it?

    No ppv on DAZN?
    This will be tested now if Joshua is exclusive to them?

    As long as Eddie's around AJ while he's selling so many PPV and tickets it can only keep Eddie in the limelight. Can only benefit matchroom and continue his obsession with social media followers. Whether AJs stays with sky or Dazn

    As fans this doesn't really make much difference

    Warren’s neck will be twitching like my mums net curtains when someone’s lurking outside her house. He loves bringing up how many fights AJ has got left with Matchroom, desperately hoping that he goes elsewhere.

    Doesn't answer the question that matters which is will AJ's future fights be on regular DAZN or Sky Box Office

    I can’t imagine Hearn promoting his upcoming fights on Sky

    Both I'd assume. Just like you do PPV for BT and Sky for a lot of fights, I'd Imagine both with cover it.

    True but a guy like Eddie will also see the big discrepancy in the amount of money he can make from having AJ on Sky Box Ofiice compared to regular DAZN, not sure what's going to happen once the Usyk fight is done with.

    I’m surprised, I expected there to be some kind of AJ promotional company set up that cooperated with Matchroom, with Hearn as AJs spokesman.

    Good for both parties, but I hope AJ gets tied down with DAZN/BT now, not sticking with Sky.

    AJ holds all the cards as long as he doesn’t lose against Usyk. He should do a Canelo and not sign any long term contract with a broadcaster and just go fight by fight with whoever offers the most.

    I suspect this will be a Canelo type deal where they will go wherever the money is rather than being guaranteed to be on DAZN or Sky

    AJ is a loyal guy and he and Fast Car Eddie Hearn have made a lot of money together. AJ kept on McCracken when many felt he should leave him. He choose not to and kept McCracken as well as bringing in additional coaches.
