    Getting those broadcast rights without AJ and Whyte is like buying an ice cream cone with no ice cream in it.

    DAZN have US Rights to AJ fights. Sky PPV platform needed by both AJ and Sky to generate UK revenues. It’s a proven model that works.

    OMG I can't watch DIllian get KO'd again? Horrors!

    Guess we'll be seeing a lot more of Eddie over here. Wonder if he'll move to LA or Vegas. Hopefully he'll get a damn shave; he and Max Kellerman look like they have ants crawling around on their faces.

    Theres ambition and then there's stupidity. DAZN will not make waves in the UK. I don't know what Eddie is thinking. Sky is the dominant force in the UK.

    This makes no sense at all in my eyes. Why give up on a reliable broadcaster that will guarantee you good numbers for a broadcaster who are barely even known in the UK? Eddie rarely gets things wrong, but this is likely one of the few times he has.

    For this to make any sense, DAZN will have to challenge Sky on Premier League rights. Believe me when I say this, Sky will put the kitchen sink on the line to stop anyone stealing premier league games from them. DAZN will not win.

    He won't move to America.

    He has also just taken over from his father in both snooker and darts. Bazza has just announced his retirement.

    The "designer stubble" is the fashion, although I agree, but then again I'm a safety razor enthusiast.

    Rarely getting things wrong?
    Not enough fat Ruiz for A.J fight No1 and not enough old Povetkin's shadow for Whyte No1 fight were clear examples.
    Okey, Pulev appeared to be enough old for A.J to beat up him with a glance.

    Yes, DAZN shows darts and snooker tournaments. Really compelling drama.

    Any version of Pudding Pulev gets decked by Joshua, let's be honest. That was also hardly Joshua in full flow, and he still sparked him and didn't get hit.

    40 year old Pudding Pulev's best wins are Ustinov, Hughie Fury and Chisora in his 12 year career.

    I'm a huge darts and snooker fan. Many are in the UK, although I dislike the way Bazza has changed darts. The players won't mind. A lot of money in it these days.

    Interesting. I don't really feel anyway about this. Doesn't effect me massively, I will hope the DAZN money will mean a bigger investment in British boxing and more shows, we know Eddie was complaining about the SKY boxing budget last year. Whether DAZN is successful, time will tell. I didn't expect BT to rival SKY sports and its doing well. With their money maybe they can make waves but they need to secure a football deal to really establish themselves.

    I am curious as to whether Matchroom use their involvement in snooker, darts and golf to bring them to DAZN...not that any of those would drive forward subscription numbers.

    LOL, most likely any version of A.J might get floored by panda if he will do inproper step. Panda already had finished this hype job.

    Chisora most likely might deliver you in morgue with few punches and you are typing as a troll here.

    I remember when all you could watch on late night TV in London was an overhead shot of a snooker table.
