Joshua-Ruiz 3rd highest rated fight ever on DAZN!

The knockout highlight were at one point #1 trending at youtube. Lol

People acting like Canelo/Fielding didn't draw. Canelo vs Kirkland in his one fight he gave HBO that wasn't on PPV drew massive ratings and Kirkland was a big underdog. Canelo is a star. 2.2M tuned in to see canelo fight Kirkland. Remember how bad a fight GGG vs Vanes was? And it still drew 1.25M on HBO. You got fights on ESPN doing half that. If canelo vs Rocky was on ANY other network that airs boxing it would of wiped out their best boxing tv ratings they have in 2019. Finishing behind Canelo no matter who he is fighting isn't a bad thing. Canelo is hands down the biggest superstar in boxing and everyone would finish behind him on the same network.

Well in all fairness, I was only able to watch the fight because it was in the one month window of the Canello fight i paid for.

Even if you un-subbed after Canelo/Jacobs like it did, your log in still works for the 30 days you paid for so I got the AJ-Ruiz fight. Just not that many people watched it Good to know. Wow, that is crazy. That all those people had access and blew it off. I mean, no one expected it to be truly special before it happened. But, if your 2nd biggest star is coming in at less views than Canelo/Fielding on a brand new service, it's concerning. :guilty:

It depends when they do the rematch but no doubt it's proven US fight fans are used to watching fights late night in that 10pm - Midnight range. You want to maximize that rematch that's the time it has to air. Otherwise it gets lost in the shuffle early in the day. Especially in the fall in the US when college football is on since most of the games are on during the day, any fight will just get lost in the noise and the rematch isnt that big in the US to truly compete with CFB. This is probably why Skipper will be all over Eddie and co to keep the rematch in the US

^ Yea, barely anyone watched that fight, and it was free. To do less than that, not long after a big Canelo fight? That tells me that a lot of people un-subbed after Canelo/Jacobs. I can't imagine paying for DAZN and skipping the 2nd most important fight they've casted. This is just not good news. Even if you un-subbed after Canelo/Jacobs like I did, your log in still works for the 30 days you paid for so I got the AJ-Ruiz fight. Just not that many people watched it

They can also do it in Mexico City @ the Azteca Stadium, in front of over 87,000 people on along with Alvarez during prime time & to get Andy Ruiz closer to being a superstar. Kill a bunch of birds with one stone. That would be sweet, but if AJ's stamina was that bad at MSG, it would be 10x worse up at the Azteca

these guys are bragging about AJ doing 3rd best numbers when there havent been any other major fights or any with mass appeal on DAZN...lol...talk about desperate I found it pathetic myself. They’re hurting though. Between Wilder getting all the attention from his highlight KO, DAZN being in the news for a horrible app, and AJ and Hearn losing all the titles to Andy Ruiz/ Haymon; The last few weeks have been rough for them.

So it did less than Canelo v Fielding? That fight were so low on DAZN ^ Yea, barely anyone watched that fight, and it was free. To do less than that, not long after a big Canelo fight? That tells me that a lot of people un-subbed after Canelo/Jacobs. I can't imagine paying for DAZN and skipping the 2nd most important fight they've casted. This is just not good news.

Agreed, however DAZN really needs rematch to happen in the US. Afternoon saturday time slot in peak college football season will bomb.

The third best fight on dazn? That’s horrible because they’ve only had like 3-4 meaningful cards. What a pathetic thread, I’m guessing you just want to argue because this is a silly thread. We get it we know you’re a Dazn/TopRank fan. The last few weeks hasn’t been pleasant to you Dazn fans looks like PBC/Haymon owns the Heavyweight division now.

Loses don't hurt your network as long as you put on good entertaining fights. Fans at their core root for the underdogs unless you have personal stake involved. NFL has so much parity and has never been more popular. Patriots are the closest they have to a single dominate team and they don't win every year and the entire country roots and tunes in hoping to see them lose. Competitive, shocking, entertaining fights are what DAZN needs. And in 2019 they already have 4 of the top 5 upsets in boxing and the clear upset of the year. Ruiz vs Joshua Cancio vs Machado Cano vs Linares Can Xu vs Rojas DAZN has only been around like 8 months and already they got fight of the year candidates, knock out of the year candidates and more upsets in 2019 then any other network. They have had a great last month really starting since end of April with the Estrada/SSR rematch card. You add the WBSS, Canelo and the Ruiz upset if you a fan you getting your money's worth and that's all you can ask for as a fan.

I mean what would be this card's competition for 3rd best? The rematch to me could do Canelo vs Jacobs numbers or possibly even better. But there has been no other card close to the Canelo and Joshua cards. 3rd best was expected, no surprise there. The rematch will be the second highest viewed card on DAZN behind Canelo vs GGG.

It's crazy but Joshua getting beat down is actually great for DAZN. It was a super entertaining and shocking fight. DAZN has been all over media crossing over outside of just traditional boxing news and sports news. A girl I work with that has no clue about boxing and never talks sports was talking about DAZN and Joshua getting knocked out. This story is real life Rocky. That rematch is going to draw a shyt ton of fans to DAZN. lol If Joshua knocked out Ruiz in the 3rd round it doesn't bring anywhere near the drama and attention to DAZN that him getting upset generated. lol Agreed, however DAZN really needs rematch to happen in the US.

Joshua vs Ruiz did 67k views on Dazn. Terrible. AJ is not a star.

Name literally any other non-Canelo fight DAZN has had that should have come close to this. Honestly surprised it didnt beat Canelo-Rocky since this was in the same month subscription as Canelo-Jacobs and the Rocky fight didnt have great numbers

the canelo fights and the AJ fights are legit the only real appealing fights to the masses that DAZN has had.....you are out here bragging like a loser that somehow this is some amazing feat what would have been amazing is AJ not quaking like a ***** and getting beat by a bin man/cabbie.....you do realize those same american talk shows ur talking about were all talking about the wilder ko a few weeks ago too right? lol...and those shows are actually laughing at AJ...everywhere i see them talking about this fight in the states they are making fun of what a slob ruiz looks like and how AJ got smacked......but hey! any press is good press! good on you losers!
