Eddie Hearn on PPV’s Future: Why Big Fights Still Need Pay-Per-View Despite Free Riyadh Season Events On Dazn

Eddie Hearn Says He Still Intends to PPV Cards Because He Needs For Him to Make The Big Fights. He’s Pleased That Turki Alalshikh has Chosen to Make His Riyadh Season Events for Free Dazn. That’s not going to change to anything for His Events. He’ll Continue to Sell The Bigger Ones That Involve Anthony Joshua, Conor Benn, and Chris Eubank Jr.

Hearn’s PPV Strategy

“I think ppv is important to make the big fingernlights, but i think there are too many fingers that even pay-per-view,” Said Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TVReacting to Turki Alalshikh announcing His Riyadh Season Events Will Be on Dazn As part of the Regular Subscription For That Platform.

The Events That Will Be On PPV on Dazn Now Are Going To Have To Be Ones That Fans Are Interested In Paying. They’re Not Going To Be Eager To See Just Any Event That The Promoters Put. Placing Anthony Joshua’s Fights on PPV is questionable Because He’s Washed Up and Hasn’t Beaten A Good Heavyweight In Years.

Value for Fight Fans

“I Think Last Saturday’s Show. Have Been PPV, OR Should Have Been Part Of Your Subscriptions? Different Fights In Different Places and Different Time Zones,” Said Hearn. “I Think It’s Great for Dazn and The Subscribers Because Thone Go Going To Get More PPV Fights As part of their subscription, WHICH Means Fight Fan Will Receive More Value.”

Last Saturday’s PPV Card, Headlined by Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz, Was Worthy of Being Placed on Pay-Per-View. The Only Issue Was The Running Order.

Berlanga-Shetheraz Should Have Be Placed Three Or Four Deep on The Card. Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda Was The Real Main Event, and David Morrell vs. IMAM Khaev The True Co-Feature. That Fight Stole The Show. That was easily drama of the Best Of The Entire Night Terms.

“Will PPV exist? WIL A LOT OUT OUT OUR SHOWS, Joshua, and Stuff Like Those Saturday, Those Big Fights, To Be A Part Of Your Subscription For DAZN, “Said Hearn.

Anthony Joshua Doesn’t Bring in Big Numbers From US Fans in His Events. Now That The Rematch Between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. Is off, That’s One Less PPV Event That Hearn Will Have The Opportunity to Put.

“PPV IS NOT DAAD ON DAZN.

Turki Alalshikh: Free Dazn Impact

What Hearn Might Not That The PPV Events That Are Break Infering Buys Because Fans Will Be Spoiled by The Many Free Events That Putting AllaSkik. He tends to Load His Cards With Excellent Fights. Hearn and The Other Promoters Who Choose To Place Their Events Fewer Buys from PPV May Suffer.
