Hearn failed.. he and DAZN couldn’t attract any too fighters..
He did get champions, but not ones what would bring in lots of viewers.
Guys like Daniel Roman, different women’s boxers, Andrade, Farmer etc.

It would be wise to take a step back.
Things are interesting though it seems Fox may not extend PBC deal which expires by year end? And Triller well, doubt they are going to last long judging by current events.
Isn't Golden Boy leaving DAZN too?

Golden Boy want to go to Triller, who hold their events through Fite, which they own anyway.
They should stay on DAZN.
PBC may be going back to CBS.

Nobody would bring in a lot of viewers. He had canelo and Jake Paul.

Boxing in america is dead.
Last night boxing in America was pronounced dead. The official cause of death was seeing a 58 year old legend allowed in the ring with a UFC heavyweight. Boxing in America has reached a point of ridiculous beneath pro wrestling. You know what caused the ruin of boxing in America? Floyd Mayweather and Al Haymon and all their accomplices at HBO and Showtime and the media who allowed those two corrupt scoundrels to escape Floyd being brutally knocked out by Pacquiao in 2010. That duck changed the sport and set the precedent that rigged fake fights or low risk set ups for free money will add up to earn more than a $100m superfight KO loss. Floyd and Haymon knew Pacquiao would be a KO loss and they took their TV money and hired patsies and low risks for a decade. The new business model was set. Create a fake star and protect it for as long as possible. High risk superfights between two prime champions are now virtually extinct in America What boxing now gives instead are rigged PBC set ups and circus you tube sparring sessions like last night. Boxing in America was once the ultimate respected sporting entertainment, the highest level of man vs man competition. Even NFL great Lawrence Taylor once told Bobby Czyz: "I could never do what you do." Now boxing has become a sad joke and a ghost of a ghost of a cheap imitation of what it once was. Mayweather and Haymon are the corrupt criminals who killed the sport and should be prosecutable by law to be condemned to life in prison for murder with no parole. - Scoop Malinowski

Jake Paul had one fight on DAZN.
Canelo was on a fight-by-fight basis.. managed to get 2 cards out of him, 3 if you found the Jacob’s fights. Will probably work together in future as well.

If anybody could get subscriptions it was canelo. Nothing could here.

Isn't this old news?
More than a year ago DAZN laid off lots of their US-based staff, because they weren't breaking even in that territory.
They made this move to focus on globalisation. Basically, growing their customer base everywhere else.
And this move led to Matchroom US scaling back a bit, by breaking ties with fighters such as Michael Hunter and Daniel Jacobs.
