    If this is $20 a month there is no way it doesn’t fail. The WWE subscription service didn’t pan out like they hoped and neither did UFC (conceding to ESPN+). Safe to say both have way bigger hardcore fan bases than boxing, and their subs were less than $20.

    Most hardcore boxing fans have HBO and/or Showtime and it’s difficult to compare their cost (with all their premium content) to that of a boxing subscription that offers nothing else but a card or two a month.

    We are still going to need HBO/Sho for big fights. And still pay for PPV for the megafights. I’m not paying $20/mo on top of all that for maybe a decent fight or two a month and the rest a crap card.

    Don't forget about Joshua, his contract with Showtime will end soon.

    This.
    I don’t really like Hearn either, but this deal does have the potential of being a massive boost for boxing. Just have to wait and see if he delivers.

    So, Hearn wants to sign young fighters, Olympians, National champions and fringe level up and comers for the DAZN platform.

    ”We’ve had 150 calls. 50 of them are people looking for jobs from the industry,” Hearn said to 3 Knockdown Rule podcast. “It’s really flattering really, because there are a lot of great people in the industry that are saying they want to be a part of this. Of the fighters that have called us up, we’ve probably had a dozen or 20 big names, superstars, I guess you can call them, interested to find out. We had probably 30 calls from fighters that weren’t relative to what we were looking for. There have been a lot of young fighters as well,” Hearn said.

    I think Korobov is not likely because of his fight against Benavidez but maybe there will be a turnaround and he will sign him after fight with Benavidez.

    If Hearn signs Rosado, I doubt that Rosado will fight Kanat in his next fight.

    At first, Haymon did deliver.
    I loved the Spike Tv shows. Lots of fun and good fights. And that was just Spike.
    But now its down to only SHO, Bounce and FOX sports 1
