It is fight week for Cinco De Mayo and it doesnt feel like it at all

Larry, maybe that is because the fight doesn't seem to be heavily marketed in the Eastern US or towards the African American community like it would be if it were on PPV. I fully expect to see the advertising ramp up over the next 3 days. I expect to start hearing about it more on urban radio and surely will see commercials during NBA games.

There's not much Buzz because it's on an App. I know streaming is the future and it's cheaper than PPV and yada yada yada . But I agree with BBallchump that DAZN will keep a niche sport even more niche .

why??? i dont feel the fight week buzz, i dont see the commercials all on my tv. It honestly forgot the fight was this weekend. Where is all the promotion? I agree fella..totally forgot about it....glad I looked yesterday and now I’m stoked for it

I've seen commercials for the fight during the NBA playoffs, but I'm with you on the buzz part. Normally I'd be planning my whole weekend around the fight on Cinco De Mayo. Last year I obviously didn't GAF, but I cared about Canelo vs Chavez Jr. And I cared about every Mayweather fight before then. I care a lot about Canelo vs Jacobs, but I don't get much of that sense from anywhere else. DAZN will keep a niche sport even more niche.

why??? i dont feel the fight week buzz, i dont see the commercials all on my tv. It honestly forgot the fight was this weekend. Where is all the promotion? How has it felt in the past? Surely you must be more excited this year considering you got Canelo/Jacobs fight coming up.

It's pretty big here in Socal. I check weekly ads on supermarkets and two major ones have this on the front page. https://i.gyazo.com/4c3fcfa357684d54fb417c055394e1e4.png https://i.gyazo.com/4d8be7087abd61a684fce44b9c469620.jpg

I didn't even remember until I saw this thread. Definitely no hype. My Mexican friends aren't having their usual boxing parties. Friends who call me about the fights haven't said anything about this weekend. I don't know if DAZN just has bad promotion or if the Canelo hype is fading but this seems like the lease important Cinco in years.

I thought I might see more online but I am a subscriber so maybe they are targeting those who like boxing but dont subscribe. I don't know I haven't noticed any high profile tv networks buys, (you'd think the nba playoffs or other sporting events would be perfect for this). I agree it's a bit low key but maybe they figure their audience already knows and are afraid to spend the big bucks for the additional people they get. It might not be economically feasible. They been running commercials all day specifically during the NBA Playoffs. I just finished watching the Bucks/Celtics and now the Warriors/Rockets game and I've seen the Canelo vs Jacobs DAZN commercial too many times to count. But most of the commercials I saw last week were the ones with Tracy Morgan blowing stuff up telling you to subscribe to DAZN lol There is plenty of buzz but I think the advertisement is just different because they aren't selling a PPV they are selling a subscription. For example I have seen more online advertisements, advertisements in different apps I use for DAZN then any other Canelo PPV fight when he was with HBO. But I have seen less commercials specifically saying Canelo vs Jacobs then past Canelo fights, HBO would just run tons of buy this PPV commercials. It's a different approach more then anything similar to how Netflix advertises. It's more broad because it's about a subscription then Netflix just throwing ads for 1 specific new movie or TV show.

canelo fans know its happening, and they know where to watch it, jacobs fans arent many but he still a solid b side enough to bring attention from most mexicans and mexican americans... there will be lots of beer and carne asada and boxing this weeken, make no mistake...

Lol at Larry trying to remind everyone of Gayweather’s greatness. Give it up Larry no one cares about Gayweather anymore, he will be surpassed soon.

Lol at this thread

“Why do I only have to pay $20 instead of $80?” As if one 30 second HBO commercial creates a huge buzz. Lmao, you guys are idiots. no one is complaining about a damn network, hell most just watch for free its freaking 2019..im talking about the lack of buildup

I mean, who wants to support a cheater like clenela anyways? The cheating chica should just retire while she still has a career as an escort for trannies like her pimp oscar.

I've seen the commercials for it but I don't feel the buzz. I guess the key players aren't saying too much.

Canelo v Jacobs wouldn't have been that big of a fight even on HBO GGG v Jacobs flopped and HBO were pushing the fight like crazy

Cause it's on DAZN and they exist in a vacuum.

Dazn is terrible at marketing. They are doing email marketing that worked back in 2002. That stuff goes in spam folders now

I've seen a few commercials but not much. I'm pumped on the fight regardless. People are sleeping on this one for some reason.

It's because in a fight with Canelo you never get a fair shake unless you're a bigger star like Floyd...and then you still only win a MD.

At least on Twitter, Youtube, and this forum, I felt there was more buzz during the week leading up the Crawford/Khan match up than Canelo/Jacobs. Hope it picks up, although the result of the fight is a foregone conclusion.
