Boxing Esq. Podcast #79 - Britton Hardin

It’s great to be back after a long hiatus. And I’m back with a very special guest - the Head of DAZN boxing in North America - Britton Hardin.

We got into Britton’s background - growing up in Chicago and starting off in karate and eventually getting into boxing, like his hero Mike Tyson. We talk about how his time at CAA and Endeavor prepared him to make the leap into boxing at Overtime/OTX Boxing. And how his time at OTX lead to the opportunity at DAZN.

We then talk about how DAZN and the boxing world in general has fared in 2026. Also, how DAZN approaches which fights to put on PPV and which go on the regular subscription channel. We spoke about how pricing on DAZN has changed and if we’ll see further changes. We also got into what he anticipates will be the involvement of Turki and Sela in DAZN boxing in the future. Enjoy!

And most importantly, we spoke about how with all of the top fighters and promoters are on the platform and the mouth-watering matchups that can be made in 2027.

Boxing Esq. #78 - Adam Abramowitz

It was a pleasure to have back on the pod - writer from The Ring and the Saturday Night Boxing blog - Adam Abramowitz. Adam and I recapped Saturday Night’s Ring IV - Night of Champions card - going in depth on Abdullah Mason’s hard fought win over Sam Noakes, Bam Rodriguez’s masterclass KO over Puma Martinez, Devin Haney’s underwhelming win over Brian Norman and David Benavidez domination of Anthony Yarde. We also got into what’s next for the victors.

We also talked about the state of PPV in the sport and how just in the last few years there have been many fluctuations in pricing and differing approaches by promoters and networks. We discussed DAZN’s plan for at least 12 PPVs in 2026 and we went through our lists of 12 potential PPVs (or fewer) that we thought were worthy of the PPV designation in 2026.

It was a fun and interesting one - hope you enjoy.
