Comments Thread For: Arum on Beterbiev-Bivol: 'We Ain't Doing a Fight On Dead-Zone (DAZN) - Nobody Watches It!'

Bob ain’t telling porky pies…..

That depends on whether he was talking yesterday or today.

[Rodtang]

yeah that’s not an official release of numbers. Promotors lie all the time. Someone said 300k and hearn said ”double that and then some. You’ll get the officially numbers soon. “ Been over a month and still no official numbers. So what does that say?

That it's 600k plus. But they'll leave it at that. It's giving a little but not all. Dazn don't like to give that information out. Hearn had to push them to reveal the Taylor, Serrano numbers. This is no different.

What's wrong with sharing, showing it on ESPN and letting Dazn also show it on their platform?

They can work out the share of the revenue, but this thing of our way or no way is bad for boxing to get big fights made.

The fighters, in this scenario, Beterbiev and Bivol want to fight each other for the undisputed, they don't care about boxing politics

I only recognize 1 name in there.

You're missing out man, that's 3 quality fights... I ain't gonna criticise people who only watch boxing for the bigger names - we all got a right to enjoy it as we please - but if you enjoy watching the sport for it's own sake too these 3 are defo worth a look.

[Oldskoolg]

Sure he is. He's driving the price up. Or lacking confidence lol.

Porky pier!!!

[DClefthook]

that's funny considering what a horrendous job he's done promoting Beterbiev's career.


100% KO ratio.
Looks like an absolute beast.
yet he fought Joe Smith in front of 20 people at the hulu theatre.


dude should be as popular as Golovkin

The reason why 3G was insanely popular was of the power of Hbo. They were able to promote him to Game of Throne and fans of other popular shows on their network which in turned brought a lot of casuals to his fights. Once Hbo left boxing so did those casual fans. Now 3G can't sell out a family dinner.

Senile Arum at it again..I guess he doen't know that 800,000 people watched Canelo vs Plant on DAZN & Arum is probably still salty or maybe just forgot that when Katie Taylor fought Amanda Serrano it was on DAZN, on that same night Arum had Shakur Stevenson unifying against Oscar Valdez on ESPN.
1.5 million tuned in to DAZN(which is a record for DAZN) to watch the Serrano/Taylor fight while 1.3 million tuned in the Stevenson/Valdez fight(which it's still real good). But on a night where Arum with ESPN went head to head against Hearn with DAZN, Arum lost..
¿So what is senile Arum talking about?

800k people watched Canelo v Plant ON DAZN????????? Huh????? Serrano v Taylor drew 1.5 mill WORLDWIDE probably 3-400k in the states. Soooo many ?s here!

ENOUGH of calling it Dead Zone!!! Just this weekend there is a number of excellent fights on DAZN. It is ANYTHING but the Dead Zone!!

San Antonio, Texas (DAZN)
Murodjon Akhmadaliev (No. 2) vs. Ronny Rios (No. 8)
12 rounds – junior featherweights (for Akmadaliev’s IBF/WBA titles)

Jesse Rodriguez (No. 6) vs. Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (No. 1)
12 rounds – junior bantamweights (for Rodriguez’s WBC title)

Julio Cesar Martinez (No. 2) vs. McWilliams Arroyo (No. 7)
12 rounds – flyweights (for Martinez’s WBC title)

Jessica McCaskill (C, No. 5 P4P) vs. Alma Ibarra
10 rounds – welterweights (for McCaskill’s Ring/IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO titles)

Raymond Ford vs. Richard Medina
10 rounds – featherweights

Yes it is a deadzone...I'm a huge boxing fan and I forgot all about those fights last weekend. Damn let me check to see who won. It's only going to get worse for GBP (no reason to call it Dazn because there's no more MR USA) because unless you are watching the Dazn app there is no marketing anyplace else.
