[TidWell]

Hearn who is a UK promoter just started promoting boxing in the US, held a presser today for his a billion US tv network dollar deal for 8 years. How the hell? UFC is bigger than boxing in US, how was he able to get more money when UFC is proven and they sold for 4 billion.

fake news, UFC just sold their second rate events for 150 million per year over 5 years, the reason Eddie Hearn got more money is because he sold their rights for 8 years. Based on what the UFC sold their rights for over 5 years, they would have got more than 1 billion if they sold for 8 years.

Get a clue how sports rights works, guy.

Don't think anybody is going to buy that, oldest trick that never worked in the book. Be completely wrong about something then pretend you were joking.

You realize UFC is dying is a meme on here, right?

And if it wasn't, nobody gives a fuck anyways.

Hearn ... held a presser today for his a billion US tv network dollar deal for 8 years.

"Perform Group’s live and on-demand streaming service, DAZN, will be the exclusive US broadcast partner."


TS, did you read the article? I don't believe DAZN is giving them a billion dollars for broadcast rights.

This article doesn't say much

 

[notori0us1]

Wtf is DAZN? I don't think people are going to pay money for another streaming service when there are other providers providing more content. Props to Eddie though, he's a fantastic promoter but UFC's new deal is still better and it's with a recognized company.

1 billion in 8 years is 125 million a year. That's not big bucks in the grand scheme of professional sports deals.

He has 1 fighter signed so far in Danny Jacobs. That's a boatload of money for just him.

No details here and I’m calling bullshit. What’s a billion dollar joint-venture supposed to be?

It’s not a payment deal. This is not somebody buying rights.

They could simply be saying that they expect a billion in revenue for all parties over 8 years.

1 billion in 8 years is 125 million a year. That's not big bucks in the grand scheme of professional sports deals.

And it’s not a rights deal.

Well to be more accurate, what you wrote isn’t correct.

I definitely don’t get the impression anybody is paying anybody else a billion dollars over 8 years.

MAYBE they expect to make a billion together over 8 years.

This is some typical boxing bullshit obscufaction.

Boxing doesn't want Oscar De La Hoya or Don King as its businessman face. Hearn is just the face they want.

Angel Garcia should be the face.
