Joshua to leave Sky and go to DAZN?

Arguably a big gamble from both DAZN are desperate for a big name in the UK, so they must be paying crazy money to beat Sky for his signature The problem is his casual fanbase has been dwindling for a while now and he’s likely gonna get smashed by Usyk in the rematch which isn’t going to help matters. He’ll always be a decent draw, no doubt, but I believe they’re gonna end up blowing a lot of money at the wrong time, just to get him on board.. Yeah it’s push the chips into the middle of the table time for DAZN UK. If AJ loses again, how many fights does he have left too?

Doesn't matter what channel he fights on... I'll stream it anyway. Just fight!

Makes sense with talk of the Saudi public investment taking a chunk of DAZN. Sky can't compete with their $600b war chest, just look at the silly amounts of money they're throwing at golf, they offered a washed up Tiger Woods a $900m deal Joshua going get an olympic sized swimming pool full of money from his muslim brother bin Salman to see out his career in Saudi on DAZN.

I mean, this is a bigger risk for DAZN than AJ. Don't get all the people saying there is risk for AJ here :lol1: dude has made insane money and could probably ride off into the sunset if Usyk smokes him in the rematch. Or he could go on fighting guys like Hammer and Rudenko and still make big time money. The risk is definitely on DAZN here if AJ gets splattered in this fight

Can’t understand why they would do this AJ is going into the Usyk fight as an underdog with most people believing he hasn’t got much of a chance. I wonder what their thinking is

AJ being in a downward trajectory in his career and DAZN pissing money away makes me believe this would end poorly for all involved

Just heard about this. I think it's a risk that may not pay off in the long run, especially if he loses to Usyk again. Both parties could end up regretting it.

DAZN needs to be able to keep Canelo in the states and AJ in the UK for the sake of interest.

I think that's been the big holdup in the rematch being announced. I imagine DAZN are pushing hard to get AJ on the platform.

I think it’s looking likely. Big gamble from AJ if true.

I didn't think it would be possible for Hearn to lose DAZN money any quicker than he already is doing. I stand corrected.
