According to Evan Rutkowski, a former HBO executive, DAZN is close to 1 million subscribers and will likely reach that target on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Not bad.
According to Forbes DAZN has already exceeded 4M subscribers

The company won’t reveal global totals, but Forbes estimates they exceed 4 million, well ahead of the 2 million-plus Walt Disney reported last month for ESPN+.
DAZN just scooped up more sports rights. You can't go a week without them launching something new or buying more content. Just Today announced.

DAZN has agreed a three-year partnership with Huawei to distribute a raft of its Spanish sports rights via the Chinese technology giant’s mobile platforms.
The agreement also includes coverage of the Premier League, English soccer’s top flight, and Euroleague Basketball, which make up part of DAZN’s offering in Spain that went live earlier this year.
That $8 a month is spin. Nobody but the most hardcore boxing fans are plopping down $100 up front. Most people still buy PPV's the traditional way because it's a delayed payment.
They have doubled the price & took away the free trial.
Like you would know what most people are doing. How about you back that up with some facts? You PBC LDBC LGBGT talk alot about what other people are thinking or doing so how about you start backing some of it up?
Or just speak for yourself.

New Global Live Sports Content Distribution Service ‘DAZN Connect’
By SVG Staff
Monday, April 29, 2019
DAZN Group has launched a global, live sports content distribution service for rights holders, broadcasters and media partners called DAZN Connect. With over 30,000 live sport events across multiple leagues and competitions, DAZN Connect offers access to one of the largest live sports content networks in the world.
Delivered over IP using the latest video transport technologies, the broadcast distribution service enables clients to consolidate their acquisition and distribution requirements into one partner, according to DAZN.
DAZN Connect launches supplying a range of sporting properties to broadcasters including BT Sport, Iqiyi, NBC Sports, Fox Soccer, Fox Netherlands and ESPN.
“We now have more sports content on our network than anyone else in the industry. Combine this with our technological innovation and with customer satisfaction at the core of our service, DAZN Connect is well positioned to take some big steps in the coming months,” says Gareth Rees, SVP Business Development.
“Driven by the demands of sports broadcasting and fans’ viewing habits, DAZN Connect offers a faster, more intelligent way of receiving live sport. DAZN Connect is built in the cloud to deliver the lowest latency, highest quality and the most secure sports distribution service. With an innovative contribution service, clients can supply live sports back onto the DAZN network, so local coverage can be made available globally, offering up further exposure and coverage for rights owners,” Gareth adds.
DAZN Connect is cloud-native and AWS-integrated. Delivery options include software-based SDI decoding and transport appliances, software-only transport applications and an AWS Direct Connect option for customers with existing AWS accounts and connectivity. DAZN CONNECT also fully supports SRT. The DAZN Connect end-to-end sports video service also offers native support for UHD/4K.
What’s so hard to believe? Canelo did 400k buys against ****ing Amir Khan before Golovkin. His upcoming fight with Jacobs would probably do 600k or more with a 89 dollar price tag. Of course they will close in on 1 million subs on cinco de mayo. I understand that some prople are too dumb to download an app and if you’re one of them I feel sorry for you and your momma. Most people will be watching though.
Exactly canelo last 3 PPVs all did 1M buys or more at almost 80 bucks a pop. But nobody would rather spend 99 bucks for 2 canelo fights and more boxing content in a year then any other boxing network? Or spend 19.99 to watch on just the months canelo fights? Canelo fans alone make it very believable they are already at 1M subscribers. And that's before you bring up the fact that right now DAZN has almost as many world champs sigend with them then ESPN and PBC combined. Both of which in The last 3 months charged almost as much for 1 PPV as it cost DAZN for a entire year lol
If you a boxing fan and not just someone with a agenda how can you not like what DAZN is doing lol
No you're just to stupid to do simple math like all the other Wilder fans and can't grasp that big business always had to take big losses for long term gains to succeed but you're telling everyone your in business?
What business is that , the B.S business ? :sigh1:
Motorcitycobra is a fool. He thinks he knows what he's talking about but he really doesn't know ****.

DAZN is nice because it’s app provides a Spanish based interface AS WELL AS REAL-TIME switchable commentary!
WAR DAZN
Real time switchable commentary!? I have literally never seen this on the app and I've tried cause I don't speak Italian.
Marketing will know more about viewing figures/subs than most.
dazn marketing yes. not just any marketing. im sure there are many marketing guys on this website. im one. doesnt mean i have accessto dazn subscriber numbers.
now maybe somebody told him. but i dont care for vague thirdhand info
lmao you're just mad because this goes against your DAZN is failing narrative. This guy has actually worked in the boxing industry and has connections. Who are you to say he isn't reliable?
its shady to say he's worked in the boxing industry. only time he worked in boxing for hbo was when he was fetching coffee for real bosses or in the mailroom. and he'll admit that. didnt your mama teach you to question the source?
thats why it says marketing exec because it was in another department, not boxing.
In my defense I was new school at ditching my TV in 2012 lol. Was there even smart TV's back then that didn't cost $5k? And I'd argue I'm more middle school between cats like you & cats who are tied to cable subscribers.
Mostly its about me becoming a minimalist in 2012 then any viewing decision or being new, middle or old school doe.
This is true I guess lol
I think DAZN would be bragging about it like ESPN+ has been doing every chance they get
1M subs by Cinco de Mayo is very possible depending on how much they promote the fight putting out their All Access 24/7 equivalent show for free is a good start
First off Evan isn't reliable. He's still scarred from Haymon's domination that caused HBO to go out of business and him to lose his job.
That's some great logic for Evan not being able to give estimated subscriber numbers.
Goes against my narrative? DAZN not having a million subs yet is horrible news. If DAZN had a million subs right now that's horrible news.
They're way under their target. That's why they had to raise their price in less than 6 months and sell other assets to raise cash. It took Netflix almost 20 years to double their basic subscription price. DAZN did it in 6 months. This is horrible news
There are so many things wrong with this post. DAZN having almost 1 million subscribers is bad now?? And raising the monthly price and selling assets is good for DAZN. It means that they are prepared to keep investing more money into buying the rights for more sports. And the reason they raised the monthly price is so they could make more money off the people who would only subscribe 2 months a year for Canelo fights. The yearly price was actually lowered. That's smart business. And you saying that Rutkowski isn't reliable because he used to work at HBO is laughable. A guy who has worked at a high level in the boxing industry would be more reliable not less. You don't know **** and you make a fool out of yourself with these dumb posts.
Wtf? This is an awesome next 6 weeks and you cancel before it! This ain’t them all but surely you want to watch the following cards?
Jacobs Canelo
Barachyk Taylor
Usyk Takam
AJ vs tbc
And depending on timing GGG vs rolls
yeah and Devin Haney's fighting on the Usyk card i believe, will also be a good card :boxing:
First off Evan isn't reliable. He's still scarred from Haymon's domination that caused HBO to go out of business and him to lose his job.
Secondly look at his "insider" predictions for PBC PPV's and he's been way off.
Thirdly, the numbers fluctuate wildly from month to month. That was one of the reasons they doubled the price.
Fourthly the numbers are close or over 500k deepending on when they were tabulated. So they're rounding up
Fifthly, Canelo, GGG, and Joshua's next fight purses alone eats up so much that they're scrambling to raise money.
lmao you're just mad because this goes against your DAZN is failing narrative. This guy has actually worked in the boxing industry and has connections. Who are you to say he isn't reliable?
Actually DAZN has 350K $99.99 subscribers and 420k random average $20 month hits.
DAZN prefers to make the monthly random buys based on fights.
Canelo vs Jacobs is expected to make $30million for the month of May.
How do you know this?
