    Inside the deal: DAZN and Matchroom Boxing

    The sports streaming subscription specialist is promising 'a new era of boxing' after signing a five-year contract with Matchroom. SportsPro spoke to Joe Markowski, DAZN's executive vice president, global platform and revenue innovation, to find out more about the ambitious plans.

    Will be interesting to see how the partnership unfolds. Boxing is an incredibly dirty and ruthless business. A friend's family are local promoters in my area and the stories they tell me reinforce the seediness of the sport. Not only that but they usually don't make a profit, its a labor of love.

    I think of Cedric Kushner, Fifty Cent, JZ and Dana White getting in the boxing business and ultimately failing with varied levels of success during the interim.

    I hope any and all providers/promotions do well so long as they give us decent quality content.

      Would like to see DAZN brand this in America as a show that features top fighters from England and Europe.

      The highlight shows would be the 2-3 AJ fights each year. Also have several HWT fights that could be at the top of a card to attract fans, allowing them to use the undercard to highlight other boxers and grow their notoriety.
