[@markmorris7123]

@@braindonor8753 I can see them working out a deal where both networks show his fights

[@braindonor8753]

@@markmorris7123 they certainly will in America DAZN etc. But I can't see Sky having that. DAZN is £7.99 a month and a ppv on Sky is 24.99. If DAZN are doing ppv fights at 20 odd quid then that's not going to drive subscribers. Its a one off fee. I think he had expected them to jack it in Hearn, but DAZN is never going to be as big here. Honestly.. unless I come on the Internet and search for it, I have no idea who is fighting on DAZN. Sky can pull out the casuals. If he stays with matchroom he will have a Canelo type deal where he fights where he likes I'd have thought. Hearn seems to be the issue, upset a lot of people and is struggling to make fights big time. I'm sure top rank and PBC will make fights with Sky fighters just to spite him.
