What is Eddie Hearns big announcement ?
Is it something similar to the WWE network ?
Although I can't see him breaking his deal with Sky Sports

Or maybe he is going to create his own belts and titles like the UFC

or maybe he's starting a MMA promotion

Sounding like it’s going to be announcing a streaming deal with a company called DAZN

I think you’d pay a monthly fee to DAZN and you would get the boxing plus other sport. I’m pretty they use a rolling month to month contract. It’s a like a sports version of Netflix.

hmm i might look into this, ive been fed up with low quality streams stuttering and having to go through a bunch of pop ups and fake 'close here' buttons

having a reliable stream for this many cards wouldbe nice, though id like to see what type of fights get lined up on the us side

They would occasionally have Country concerts there & we'd have some proper inbred f*ckers coming down from the small hill towns.

here's my thoughts on it..

1. we already get all the top us events on sky, bt and bn linares vs loma for example

2. we might actually get even more shows as if eddie is rattling the other promoters they very well might strike a deal with bt - bn to show more us shows in the uk

3. it might be even better for us as if the us deal shows all the sky shows plus the us shows then why dont we sign up to that and fornicate the sky sports off

If you just have sky sports for boxing and nothing else it would make sense assuming the platform is indroduced and or available in the uk.
A lot of people have the subscription for football as well at present
