Bob "the cancer" Arum back at it

[DClefthook]

Bantam, fly, and womens boxing, yes. Never liked them.

Gotta agree here. No matter how hard you try and promote it American boxing fans will never be fans or women's or midget boxing.

[DClefthook]

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 says 150k ... hahahahaha

[War Room]

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.

Maybe I'll take a look.

So if you never liked them, why even bring up how you have failed to see them? That has nothing to do with DAZN efforts if you are not watching the fights.

I never liked womens boxing, but I've been force-fed Taylor and Serrano before they fought so I think I do have a voice, I think I speak for a lot of fans, and you keep spamming the same card over and over like thats going to do anything to help. Even Rexy was like why do you keep spamming the card 3x and you appear to be in shock as to why there is no interest know what I mean?

fought in front of a sold out Saitama arena

Please excuse my ignorance I'm not being facetious but where in dee hell is Saitama arena? Is that in Japan? I was talking about selling out in America. Anytime you have a huge event, in particular boxing, and that country knows it will have an American audience watching on the bubetube it will be a sellout event. Sorry I should have clarified.

Wrong.

Many Americans have love and respect for Nonito Donaire for example.

Racist black fans might not, though.

why is Arum dictating terms to Bivol tho?


Bivol is the bigger draw now. this is irrefutable. Bivol beat P4P #1, boxing's cash cow.

Beterbiev beat Joe Smith who Bivol already whitewashed.



If Bob wants to make the fight happen, he needs to meet Bivol where he wants. For him to dictate terms to Bivol is autistic. it makes no sense. Unless he doesn't want this fight.

No one can stop the Bobfather from speaking his mind. My ***ish brother doesn’t care and is dead on the money here. Bob ain’t telling porky pies…..

DAZN is bigger then ESPN globally. Bob is certainly telling tall tales this is just from 2019 which debunks crazy talks no one watches it .

The Battle for OTT Subscribers: DAZN vs. ESPN+


DAZN currently has 4 million subscribers globally, of which around 1.2 million are in the US. By comparison, ESPN+ has around 2 million subscribers. DAZN has grown by offering streamed sports for less than the prices typically charged by traditional pay-TV broadcasters.

How do DAZN and ESPN+ compare in price and content?

Price: DAZN currently costs $19.99 per month in the US, which is 4x higher than the ESPN+ monthly cost of $4.99.

Content: In the US, DAZN currently has live and on-demand boxing, MMA, the MLB daily ChangeUp show, Japanese J1 league football, gymnastics, bowling, pool and darts. Not exactly impressive. On the other hand, ESPN+ has access to daily out-of-market NHL, MLB, MLS games, international soccer coverage, college sports, original shows, and the entire library of 30 for 30 content.

Despite a much higher cost and significantly less programming in the US, DAZN is already beating ESPN+ in App downloads worldwide, according to data from Sensor Tower. DAZN was the top-grossing sports app worldwide in May 2019, with about $11.5 million in user spending, 9.5 times as much as a year earlier. Thirty-seven percent of that revenue came from the U.S., followed by 6.5% from Japan.

That's just it, Bob doesn't want to make the fight happen.

Even though Beterbiev plainly said on tv that he prefers the unification.

Trick bag= globally. Who gives a Damn about Kazakhstan, Central African Republic, Surinam, Sri Lanka, Slovenia etc etc. Top Rank is an AMERICAN company as is ESPN. I could care less about what’s going on in another man’s country than I don’t live in. In the usa, the old ashki**** nailed it…the DEADZONE
