    The Italy/Germany/Spain moves are ridiculous.

    He has a strong USA stable now, his UK one is diminishing after a few of his prospects took a beating. He really needs Buatsi and one or two others to come good.

    He does not have “a strong USA stable” stop following his every word on IFL. None of his American fighters are known, small 4/5K arenas and you can bet the DAZN viewing figures are garbage. Boxing is a niche sport in America, so you can bet his fighters won’t be getting improved audiences fighting on a App too.

    Think of it this way, If you we’re DAZN why wouldn’t you release Eddie Hearn once the two year exit clause comes up. Joshua is the only asset he has, Joshua has just lost and has become a laughing meme in America because he lost to a fat man. Hearn’s personality has also caused friction and stopped fighters from signing with DAZN

    Does anyone know the expiration date for the current exclusive Matchroom / Sky deal?

    Agree. His only "elite" American is Jacobs and go knows how he'll fare at SMW when he got chinned by Pirog. He might do ok since SMW is quite weak atm but there are question marks there.

    Haney is an incredible prospect as is Hrgovic. Usyk is obviously world class but again, there are question marks over his ability to really contend at HW.

    Like I said in my other post, Hearn failed to sign all of the top Americans he wanted to sign and as you pointed out, his obnoxious approach has put a lot of fighters off from signing for him.

    I think there's more chance that Hoya, if he's given the chance, could sign the other top Americans for DAZN, far more chance than Hearn at least.

    Any fighter even thinking of signing with Mcguigans needs their head testing,just ask all the fighters who have left him and are still paying him a cut of their earnings.

    None of them are known or mainstream. All of Hearn’s American Fighters need building up and they won’t get eyeballs on DAZN.

    This Matchroom USA Venture is currently on it’s death spiral and if Joshua loses to Ruiz again, it’s adios Matchroom USA. All of Matchroom’s US Fighters can simply transfer to Golden Boy or sign with DAZN directly

    Hearnz has Maurice Hooker so it's a no brainier for Taylor to sign with Matchroom if he beats Prograis to unify the division and maximise revenue. No doubt if he gets sparked Eddie will be nowhere to be seen.

    Hearns will probably put him in with Callum Smith, Taylor is around the same size as Ndam

    Cyclone seem to have lost the Channel 5 contract to Mick so Taylor will be off to pastures new I presume.

    Good to see Fat Mick get some exposure at last - some of his Channel 5 cards were excellent if we exclude Hughie The Skirt Fury

    I Just know that he’s got 11 world champions. You make out likes he’s got a shoddy stable, it’s not the case is it.

    Please name one of those so called champions who actually brings subscriptions and strong viewing figures to DAZN. DAZN hasn’t leaked anything about Joshua-Ruiz viewing figures, that’s not a good sign. They released figures for Canelo-Jacobs because it was the only successful fight they have had so far.

    The World Heavyweight Lineal PED Title on the line tonight - will be very surprised if the cohort of UK PPV mugths buy this fight.

    Will say the same thing as 2 weeks ago when the Porker done the Pudding Bashing Forker - I will be absolutely astonished if the pudding wins the Lineal PED Title tonight.

    To be fair he has not mentioned the pulling power of any of them
    I believe he is going on ability which makes his comment a fair one
