    None of the golden boy fighters will go with Eddie no chance. I could see GGG possibly Eddie has a good relationship with Golovkins team.

    You would think Jacobs would stay with Eddie Kovalev next fight is on ESPN.

    I think Bivol could well end up on DAZN too.

    Think Jacobs, Golovkin and Bivol will end up on DAZN. Canelo will want a ppv platform to maximise earnings so can't see him on DAZN.

    Was thinking would Top Rank get hold of GGG, then the BJS fight would be straight forward with BT.

    Any reasons given for the withdrawal ?

    It appears DAZN are making ripples already in the American market

    Sad news in many ways. Keep hearing Hearn and DAZN wont compete with Showtime and HBO, well their seen of one of the old guard already. Would love Hearn to sign GGG and put him in with the winner of Smith and Groves.

    Hearn and DAZN have nothing to do with HBO Quitting Boxing. They clearly said Boxing is a small sport in the US which isn’t driving any subscriptions or revenue growth. Once Mayweather left HBO in 2013. They were always in serious trouble.
