      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.

      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul LIVE RESULTS: Paul goes DISTANCE against Money Man and calls out Canelo – latest reaction

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has defeated Logan Paul in a bizarre boxing exhibition fight in Miami.The 44-year-old Money Man – who beat Conor McGregor and Tenshin Nasukawa in his last two fights – was unable to stop YouTuber Paul, 26, as the bout went the FULL eight rounds.
      And Logan Paul has called out Canelo Alvarez, saying: “You can’t sell pay-per-views. I would eat you alive.”
      Follow ALL of the latest reaction from Miami below…
      JAKE’S OPINION MISPLACED?
      Jake Paul feels his brother Logan won. All the stats and opinions from everywhere else suggest the contrary.

      ‘LOGAN WON’
      Casey Neistat showed support for fellow Youtuber Logan after the fight, expressing a similar sentiment many took from the fight.
      If noise grows that Mayweather actually lost could we see the pair back in the ring for a rematch?
      Only time will tell.

      MAYWEATHER ON PACQUIAO
      Floyd Mayweather has taken a swipe at former opponent Manny Pacquiao after his exhibition with Logan Paul.
      The 44-year-old said: “Pacquiao at his age [42], which is sad, has to fight. I’m financially set, and I want to make everybody hear this.
      “You’re going to hear a lot of people say ‘Floyd needed to do this’, no, I’m well off.
      “Every property that I have is paid for, my jet is paid for, all my cars are paid for, I own billion-dollar buildings, I own so much property, I’ve steadily invested in many different things.
      “I’m invested in the tech world, I’ve made a lot of smart investments.”

      PAUL OVER
      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has closed the door on a fight with Jake Paul after his clash with the YouTuber’s brother Logan.
      The former five-weight world champion went the distance with Logan in their eight-round exhibition in the early hours of the morning.
      It was thought Mayweather would make a beeline for Jake after the fight given their scuffle in Miami last month.

      MUPPET SHOW?
      We won’t lie, the fun being had on social media by those reacting to this fight is quite amusing. And scarily accurate in parts…

      MAYWEATHER’S POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

      JAKE WANTS CONOR
      The Paul brothers are still not satisfied after this morning’s fight and Jake is eyeing another big name, Conor McGregor.
      But apparently the former UFC double-champ is not paying him any attention.
      MCGREGOR IS DUCKING ME 🤣— Paul Paul (@jakepaul) June 7, 2021

      DID FLOYD HOLD LOGAN UP?
      Did Mayweather hold up Paul for eight rounds? Certainly looked like he had him in trouble here.

      MONEY MAY
      Mayweather reportedly earned around £72million for the fight last night.
      Here is what he had to say about those questioning his legacy for taking the exhibition bout.
      “They say, ‘It’s not all about the money.’ Well, your kids can’t eat legacy,” he said.
      “The patches on my trunks, [earned me] $30million alone. So who’s really the smartest one in the sport of boxing?
      “When it comes to legalised bank robbing, I’m the best.”

      ‘I’M NOT COMING BACK TO BOXING’
      Floyd Mayweather confirmed after his exhibition with Logan Paul that he will not return to boxing.

      HUG IT OUT
      Nicola Adams is one boxer who has mocked the style of Paul vs Mayweather, criticising the lack of actual boxing.
      But perhaps she is just a little relieved after her promise of giving away a free PS5 to each Twitter follower – if Logan won – did not come to fruition.

      POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW
      In case you haven’t seen it already, here is Logan Paul’s post-fight interview.

      JAKE SAYS LOGAN WON
      Jake Paul has claimed his brother Logan WON his exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
      The elder Paul brother went the distance with the pound-for-pound king in the early hours of the morning in Miami, Florida.
      And while almost everyone universally agreed that although there was no official result that Mayweather was the clear winner, Jake did not see it that way.

      CASHING IN
      Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul have already made millions, but they’ve got even richer this weekend.
      Mayweather has previously said he’s likely to earn around £72million for his bout with Paul.
      “I can fight a fighter right now and I can guarantee myself $35million (£25m). I can eventually probably make $50million (£36m) for just a regular fight,” Mayweather said.
      “Or me and Logan Paul can go out, entertain, have fun and make nine figures $100million (£72m) or more.”
      Meanwhile, Paul told TMZ that he’s likely to make around $20m (£14m) for his huge eight-rounder with Mayweather in Miami.

      FLOYD CLEARLY WON
      The fight may have lasted the duration but the stats show there was only one winner, Floyd Mayweather.
      A reminder of the figures from the fight clearly acknowledge that the boxing legend got the better of his opponent.
      The 44-year-old unsurprisingly outboxed Logan Paul and landed 27.3% more punches than his opponent, via Boxing Scene.

      KS-I’M THE BEST
      British YouTuber KSI has bragged he is the ‘best boxer in the world’ after Floyd Mayweather failed to knockout Logan Paul.
      The 27-year-old beat his rival in their professional fight in November 2019 after winning via split decision.
      But boxing legend Mayweather, 44, could only draw against his American compatriot in their exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
      Without a knockout, there was no winner declared, though most observers ringside agreed that Mayweather won the majority of the rounds.
      Following the contest, KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – took to social media to declare himself the best fighter on the planet.
      He tweeted: “So…You’re saying I’m now the best boxer in the world?”

      LOGAN’S HAUL
      Logan Paul has now, potentially, doubled his yearly intake.
      The YouTuber, 26, took on Floyd Mayweather on Sunday – lasting the full eight rounds in their exhibition bout to score an amazing moral victory.
      Although Paul was outclassed during the contest, ‘Money Mayweather’ didn’t achieve the knockout many expected him to and even conceded, “He’s better than I thought he was” about his opponent.
      Before the fight, it was estimated the YouTube star could earn as much as $20million (£14milion).
      That’s roughly the same amount he reportedly earns yearly from his social media exploits, including from YouTube, his Impaulsive podcast and through advertising with the likes of Pepsi and Virgin Mobile.
      Incredibly, the social media personality turned boxer once revealed he made £2million from his own merchandise, Maverick Clothing in just three days.
      Forget ‘Money Mayweather’, Paul is making his own fortune inside and outside the ring now.

      PAUL A FAST ONE
      Boxing fans claim Floyd Mayweather ‘knocked out Logan Paul’ but the iconic superstar ‘held him up’ to keep the fight going.
      Mayweather was in control throughout and landed some clean shots, which Paul to his credit was able to withstand.
      A counter right hand in round five was the pick of the bunch, as he evaded Paul’s hook and fired back.
      It caused the social media star to desperately hold on – but in the eyes of some it was instead Mayweather holding him up to prolong the fight for entertainment purposes.
      One Twitter user said: “Floyd Mayweather actually knocked out Logan Paul, but held him up during the fight to carry it through 8 rounds.”
      One responded: “They scamming people who paid to watch them.”
      Another commented: “Joke.”
      Another, in disagreement, commented: “If this is serious you’re an idiot.. You think floyd could hold him up? Dont be silly.”
      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul – Round by Round
      HUG IT OUT
      Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul’s exhibition bout was blasted ‘the worst fight of all time’ and ‘battle of the cuddles’.
      Safety first tactics saw Paul avoid the KO defeat many predicted, though fans were left fuming.
      One said: “I really just watched a 8 round hugging match for 30 mins.”
      Another said: “They robbed everyone in the arena and on PPV. Worst fight ever.”
      One, posting a video of Mayweather promising a KO, posted: “Battle Of The Cuddles.”

      They robbed everyone in the arena and on PPV. Worst fight ever.— TsarLuka (Ikari) (@DanganGroyper) June 7, 2021

      LOG OFF
      Johnny Nelson said Floyd Mayweather had a ‘reality check’ and his ‘pride dented’ against Logan Paul and will NOT fight the brother Jake.
      Nelson said it is a sign the boxing legend should hang up the gloves for good having been unable to stop his much larger yet inexperienced opponent.
      And he reckons Mayweather will avoid a fight with Logan’s younger brother Jake, who is 3-0 all by knockout in his own career.
      Nelson, 54, said on Sky Box Office: “I don’t think Floyd would.
      “I think he’s had a reality check today, saying, ‘You know what, I’ve rinsed this as much as I can’
      “I think probably his pride’s been dented a little bit by not getting rid of him.
      “I’m quite sure he’d love to be able to close the show tonight but he just couldn’t close it how he wanted to.”

      ‘MAVERICK’
      Logan Paul proved he wasn’t nervous as he even joked about by wearing a £100,000 Pokemon card while entering the ring.
      Though it is fair to say Mayweather took it equally seriously by wearing an ‘Only Fans’ cap in his ringwalk.
      One thing’s for sure, it will be interesting to see what the pair have up their sleeve next if Paul vs Mayweather 2 happens.

      ‘I NEVER GOT NERVOUS’
      Logan Paul was as brash as ever in his post-match press conference, and who can blame him after going eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather.
      Here is what he had to say on how he felt moments before the fight began: “I was waiting to get nervous, and never did…scares me.
      “Makes me question my humanity. I asked Milton and Jeff, when am I going to get nervous, when is my heart going to star beating fast…it never did. I’ve got to get checked out.”

      ‘NO CHANCE’
      Logan’s success was all down to WWE superstar Sami Zayn says…Sami Zayn.
      Way to toot your own horn.
      I’ll say this, @LoganPaul no doubt worked his ass off and proved a lot of people wrong, but if he never meets Sami Zayn, he never realigns his perspective, and no chance he goes 8 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. I’m glad to have played my part in this historic bout.#FloydvsLogan— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) June 7, 2021

      HAVE YOUR SAY
      It was a tighter contest than many would have anticipated and there are plenty of people who’d like to see a repeat of this contest to establish a definitive winner. What do YOU think?

      GOOD AFTERNOON!
      Hello and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul! Yep you read that right.
      50-0, retired, 44-year-old, former five-weight world boxing champion with some of the best defensive skills the sport has ever seen will take on Paul, an 0-1 YouTuber.
      Said YouTuber, however, towers over Mayweather and outweighs him by around 35lbs… the most Floyd has ever given up in weight.
      Their huge star-studded event will take place later TONIGHT, leading into the early hours of Monday morning, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
      The fight will be an ‘exhibition’, a word boxing fans have become all too accustomed to over the last couple of years.
      It means no record-padding, no official winner and just eight rounds of action. But there CAN be knockouts.
      Both Mayweather and Paul have promised to put each other to sleep, and the chances of that got even greater this week as the glove sizes were reduced from 12oz to 10oz.
      Shades of Mayweather-McGregor fight week there, when they came down to 8oz gloves after initially agreeing 10oz.
      That night didn’t go down well for McGregor.
      As well as the freak show that is Mayweather-Paul, Jarrett Hurd, Badou Jack and Chad Johnson are all in action on the undercard.
      This won’t be your customary boxing event, so embrace the madness now, or you’ll find yourself shocked by the antics later on.
      Sit back, relax, soak up the content and we’ll be with you from now until the fight starts at around 4am tomorrow…

      And he has now confirmed that Matchroom’s schedule will comprise of 12 ‘normal fight night shows’, along with four ‘premium events’ and their NXTGEN shows where they provide a platform to rising stars.
      Hearn, who already promotes US shows on DAZN, also spoke about how he plans to change boxing when it comes to the production of his events.
      Speaking on the Matchroom Radio Podcast, he said: “We’re not just gonna migrate the Sky team into DAZN.
      “We’re gonna bring in industry legends, future hall of famers, fresh talent.
      “But we’re not gonna bastardise production by trying to be ‘cool’.”
      The deal Matchroom Boxing have signed with DAZN is believed to be worth around £100million.
      Hearn has already promoted major US boxing shows on DAZN.
      The most recent of those came last month when he put on Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s unification fight against Billy Joe Saunders in front of 70,000 fans in Texas.
