hmm only works out at £25 million, when I would wager he could get huge purses on his own, and considering the mayweather, mcgregor money.
Could be a bit premature with that deal. Mind you a guarantee of that money can never be sniffed at.

I'm sure he could beat the average for a big fight but this deal allows him a few comfortable fights with sizeable paydays still.
It really is impressive money. Perhaps he'll be able to afford to employ a chef now so he doesn't have to eat any contaminated meat....

Mayweather actually got £27.8m but can't read properly.

Anybody know if you can get DAZN in the UK yet (without use of a VPN) and, if not, whether/when there are plans for its release?

Not sure think Hearn was saying they are aiming for early next year but everything on dazn will be on sky in the meantime

Cheers, Oscar. Sounds like a great deal, and I would happily pay £10-20pcm for a "Netflix for sports" type service.
Problem with Sky is that I don't really have need for cable services at all, these days, and access everything via the internet. Must confess, I haven't checked, but I don't imagine Sky would offer you the opportunity to just pay for Sky Sports streaming services without the whole installation / regular channels / "premium channels" / "HD surcharge" BS that they always try to bolt on.
Before you know it, you're paying £60pcm for a service you use a handful of times a month, a couple of which are for boxing...that you pay PPV for, anyway

Yeh I know what you mean mate, so much pointless stuff you don’t need and like you I watch most of my tv shows on amazon or on the internet same with movies, I’m with virgin have all the sky stuff but just kept the sports, I cancelled off the sky movies and cinema etc as never watched them and had no point in them

Sky are money grabbing plss takers. I've said before that they really shoot themselves in the foot by not allowing people to buy ppv events on their Now TV app. It's just a ploy to force people to get the whole expensive and unnecessary Sky package and in my case anyway an unsuccessful one

Oscar, Canelo signed with DAZN years ago. This is old news.
