After years of broadcasting on BT Sport and ESPN+ Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions introduced that DAZN will function its “unique world broadcast accomplice” beginning in April of subsequent yr.
If I had a nickel for each DAZN promotion who hated Eddie Hearn’s guts, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t so much but it surely’s bizarre it occurred twice.
The excellent news is that, if everybody performs good, this opens the door to a variety of matchups that broadcast disputes may have in any other case sunk. Warren and Hearn have proven a larger willingness of late to have interaction in proxy wars, from the 5v5 to the latest conflict of prospects between Matchroom’s Shabaz Masoud and Queensberry’s Liam Davies.
The unhealthy information is that DAZN sucks and isn’t exhibiting any indicators of bettering. Extra exhibits (“a assured 150 fights per yr”) would make its inflated price ticket a neater promote, but it surely’s going to take much more than that to make me shell out for the glory of listening to David Diamante. I reside in Washington; why would I pay the yearly price after I may fill my gasoline tank, like, 3 times with that form of cash?
Frank Warren: “I couldn’t be extra happy that Queensberry is becoming a member of DAZN. It is a good transfer for our fighters and, most significantly, for the followers. Their ambition and keenness for the game of boxing aligns completely with that of our personal and we now stay up for placing on the most important nights potential collectively.”
