    Was just thinking about how poorly they have been considering their record breaking budget.

    Taking into consideration the billion $$$ deal they have been shockingly bad lol

    I'd sack them on the spot tbh

    Pretty poor with all the noise they made. It will be interesting to see if anything changes in 2019.

    Your hatred of Hearn leads you to bash a high quality service allowing us to watch live boxing for $9.99 a month.

    Even if there were only 2,3 or 4 decent shows a year thats better than paying for a mediocre ppv at $75+ (or worse, another May-Mac PPV)

    Get your heads out of your arses and be grateful for once. I don't particularly like Hearn either but Im not so bitter that I will crap on DAZN - which is clearly a good thing for us boxing fans.

    Grow up ffs.

    Bit unfair, it’s difficult to accurately assess a small business after 3 months let alone a massive venture like this. Let’s see where they are over the next 2 years or so.

    Matchroom USA is where Hearn sends over his c level fighters from the UK.

    It's hilarious. All this hype about a billion dollars, each show averaging at 7/8 million and yet the Americans are fed Scott Quigg, Tommy Coyle, and now Jono Carrol lolol.

    4/10 - not the greatest shows to start the platform off. Underwhelming cards but shows a haven't been awful.

    I'll give them a pass being as though they have literally just kicked off, 2019 will be a fairer scope to rate their performance.

    According to the Independent ''The groundbreaking deal is worth $1bn (£740m) over eight years which, at current exchange rates means around £92.5m per year. Therefore he will have a staggering average of £5.7m to spend on each of his 16 US shows per year.''

    A lot of the cards haven't been that high quality and Hearn has struggled to sign a lot of his targets Charlos, Broner etc. With that money we shouldn't be seeing fights such as Jarrell Miller vs Adamek and Kell Brook vs Michael Zerafa.

    If we're just basing it on Matchroom USA then a 5 I guess. It hasn't been totally dreadful but I'd be hard pushed to describe those cards as good.

    A cynic would say he's holding back the loot for his "favoured" cards/fighters.
