Now that the BJS vs Andrade fight has been scrubbed, how does this card stack up? I don't care for a single fight on the card tbh, Billion dollar deal and this is all they have to offer??? Do me a favour........
You can't blame a broadcaster for a fighter pulling out/being removed. If a Football game is postponed due to bad weather, is that the broadcasters fault?
People paid $80 to watch a card full of mismatches, with a main event full of pre-filled in cards.....
DAZN needs time to establish itself. Yes he has a decent budget but most fighters are under at least 3-4 fight contracts so arent within reach instantly. Netflix was **** when it first came out. $10 isn't much tbh, so it's hard to expect to see top level cards every week.
excuses, excuses Hearn is the biggest con artist I have ever seen, and you all lap it up. Remember when this clown told you that matchroom was going to have a PPV quality card for free every month??? With extra next gen content? What happened to that???? He never had one free PPV quality card (actually tbf half of his PPV cards are **** too so I guess they must be PPV quality lol). All of his shows actually got watered down and were all basically nextgen cards lol Looks like history is repeating in the US!!!! Except the US market ain't mugs they will see how pathetic he is and will refuse to pay He better hope Bellator and other sports are big successes so he can piggy back off them!!!! Canelo vs GGG was half this forums wet dream ffs
Mate he only needs to put on a PPV quality card once every six months to make it a worthwhile investment. Premium channels have always been overpriced. I welcome streaming with open arms.
Thats cool James, if you dont like it dont pay for it. I thought DAZN was good for casuals, i guess not James though.
Can I ask you a serious question since you hate Hearns so much Do you honestly think british boxing would be better off if Hearns wasn't around and Fish Eyes frank took over and we went back to the days of the early-mid 2000s? Really?
I'm not even a Brit but even I know team gb wasn't even a thing back then. UK government has heavily invested in sports and boxing has benefitted hugely. Do you agree or disagree? Hearn has just come into the sport at an opportune time when Britain had more talent ffs. Now he is seen as the savior? Gtfoh you guys would have less ppvs and more good fights on free TV. Eddie Hearn never won a single fight in his career ffs lol. His fighters have won plenty. I might add some of the other more prominent boxing nations like the US have also declined quite a bit which has helped Britain gain a bigger share of the market to make big fights.
No idea what you are talking about, Chicago card was entertaining from start to finish. Filled with mismatches? The main event was a entertaining draw that saw both men dropped, Beterbiev vs Johnson was great Roman vs McDonnell was a entertaining late round stoppage. The only mismatches were Miller vs Adamek & the prospect bouts, and all of those didn't even go as planned. The card was a hell of a lot better and much more entertaining than the crap Warren put on the same night. Dubois vs Johnson was a boring mismatch that saw the phenom look like crap for his second fight in a row, Catterall vs Davies was on par as awful as Okolie vs Askin only Catterall vs Davies was the main event of it's show. There's still several good fights on the Boston card.
Well, you can't blame Eddie for BJS's (and his camp's) ignorance/stupidity/dishonesty. Unfortunately, there are literally no time to make changes to this card now...
No, Eddie Hearns is simply a better promoter Ricky Hatton for instance was at least as popular in the UK as Joshua is yet when he was with Warren Frank kept him away from anyone remotely dangerous. Hatton beat Tszyu who was old and semi retired and pretty much similar level to the Povetkin AJ faced and it was seen as one of the best wins in years. There's numerous other examples but Warren simply isn't on the same level as Hearn is in terms of actual promoting. If AJ was with hearns, after he beat Martin he would have been defending that IBF against the weakest possible voluntarily opponents at the M.e.n. Arena fight after fight When warren ran boxing in the uk, ALL our fighters were seen as stay at home jokes.
