I don't get the hate and suspicion DAZN gets from some places, they seemingly mean business
Is their fault simply is that they are a new player on the market? :yeshrug:

16 US fights per year w Hearn and now this 3 years deal with WBSS, they invest in the sport a big way, I can't hate on that... nor I want to

Outside of paying for another app I cant hate if it gets me a steady way of watching WBSS

I criticised Usyk some in the past but mad props to that dude for taking fights in a row in opponents' backyards most of them tough opponents too.

Glowacki, Hunter, Huck, Briedis, Gassiev...

Now he's travelling to fight in Russia as an Ukrainian
Can't wait to see how he does at heavy. He'll do better than people think as he's beaten Madjidov (who beat AJ), Fa and Joyce at superheavy in the ams.........

It's Hearn that's toxic. It's why I think Schaefer is going to push him out as Hearn doesn't have any stars that he tried to sign up to fill up those 16 fights with anyone decent. Hearn lied or stretched the truth on the supposed billion dollar deal. Schaefer pretty much destroyed that piece of mythology in May.

true

can you imagine him outboxing Wilder for 12 rounds, avoiding the right hand?

No. Gassiev used to spar with Deontay. He said Deontay hits harder than little Klit and is a better fighter than he's credited. He said that it looks easy on the outside, but when you get in there with him, it's a different story. Hatin' ass Michael Montero had a shocked look of disbelief when he said that during their interviews.

ehh, he is not worse or better person than your average promoter imo but he gets extra treatment now cause the AJ negotiations and because he is a foreigner aiming to make big moves in America

fine, it's a legit question though looking at the history of the conversation

Its a good fight. People point to the Szpilka match and seeing as Usyk is far more skilled than szpilka makes you wonder. But I think deontay has grown and that Nyquill he has in his hands..... I need to see how Usyk deals with power starting with gassiev

Because there are still boxing fans like myself who still pay for cable(in addition to streaming services for movies/TV/music) that have no desire to add on yet another service. Plus there's no way the price point will be below $10 and Canadians who use it for the NFL say the stream quality is trash.
