      Eddie Hearn snubbed by Sky Sports in final show with broadcaster after ten years before moving to rivals DAZN

      by

      EDDIE HEARN was snubbed by Sky Sports at his last show with the broadcasters over his move to rivals DAZN.After almost a decade as their exclusive boxing promoter, bringing through superstars like Anthony Joshua and Katie Taylor, the Matchroom boss has taken his stable to the streaming app in a five-year, £100million move.
      Anthony Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn has signed a deal with DAZNCredit: Reuters
      A 1000-fan card in Newcastle on Saturday was the sign-off but, at the end of the broadcast, there was no slot with Hearn and no package or montage of their most iconic moments.
      Presenters Adam Smith and Johnny Nelson paid tribute to Hearn’s work but the Essex fight mogul confirmed he was blanked by the producers who are watching him take talent away from their channels.
      At the launch of his three-week summer Fight Camp, when asked why he didn’t feature on his last ever Sky show, Hearn confirmed: “I wasn’t asked to.
      “I think, at senior and executive level at Sky, our departure was met with understanding because they are aware of the size of the deal and the opportunity for us globally.
      “I do think, at production level, there were people who probably thought, ‘We are not giving Eddie any air time on Saturday’.
      “But that is alright, I never expected them to come out and glorify me when I am heading to a competitor.
      “I am going to another platform to drive up their subscribers so they probably didn’t want to give me any airtime.
      “They probably thought, ‘We have built Eddie up over the last 10 years and now he is off, so we will talk about our own new deal on Saturday’, which they did a lot of.

      Conor Benn is among the fighters Hearn has taken to DAZNCredit: The Sun
      “But it’s all fine and we thank them for the wonderful time. Without them we wouldn’t be here and vice versa.”
      Hearn has already convinced rising stars like Conor Benn, Joshua Buatsi and Fabio Wardley to leave Sky and join his British boxing revolution online.
      Joshua is not part of the deal but Hearn is working on getting Dillian Whyte nailed down to his new broadcasters.
      He revealed: “Dillian is potentially going on our end-of-August show in America.
      “We would like him to box twice this year, I think his next one might be slightly smaller than he is used to, because every other fight he is in seems to be a 50-50 war.
      “We are just finalising that and we hope to announce that in the next week.”
      Dillian is happy being with us and I expect to see him box twice this year on DAZN.Eddie Hearn

      When asked if Hearn and subscription service DAZN were in a direct fight with Sky offering Whyte an alternative fight, he said: “Dillian is a pay-per-view fighter with Sky so he will have that opportunity.
      “But that is not what we or DAZN want.
      “In all our talks Dillian is happy being with us and I expect to see him box twice this year on DAZN.”

      Lewis Hamilton begs fans to ‘stay loyal’ to F1 amid fears they are being priced out of subscription TV channels

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has called on Formula One to keep fans of the sport’s ‘skyrocketing’ social media – by not pricing them out of watching races on TV.Sky Sports bought the UK rights to show F1 via its subscription service in 2011 and only next month’s British Grand Prix is live on free-to-air TV.
      Lewis Hamilton has called for fans to ‘stay loyal’ to Formula OneCredit: Getty
      And while Sky has won awards for its coverage of the race weekend, some fans are unable to afford its dedicated F1 channel.
      Australia, France, Germany and Italy are just some of the others countries which split the season between pay TV and a handful of free-to-air races.
      Hamilton, 36, recognises the sport is far from unique in this approach and hopes fans ‘stay loyal’ amid the rise of followers online.
      He is quoted by Motorsport-Total as saying: “I think it’s all part of the business.
      “I grew up watching the races live on free TV, which attracted a lot of fans.
      “I remember that in Spain there used to be four to six million people tuning in every afternoon at 2pm. That was pretty impressive.
      “There seems to be a tendency to have to pay for what you want on TV. You have to pay for Netflix, you have to pay for everything you want to see.
      “So there’s been a transition. The world has changed.

      “I just hope people keep staying loyal to the sport and following it on social media because the numbers on social media are skyrocketing.”
      F1 launched its own over-the-top video platform in 2018 as race bosses looked to enhance its revenue streams.
      On Sunday, Hamilton and Mercedes will attempt to retake the lead in the world championship when facing Max Verstappen in France.
