Comments Thread For: DAZN Confirms US Distribution Rights For Usyk-Joshua Rematch

Unfortunately this is no mega fight and wouldn't be PPV in the US regardlessly. Ain't no one tuning in at 9am in the US watch this fight let alone would have paid for it.

We all know you’ll be watching it , those who cry about a fight are a dead give away .

TV rights were done with the site deal, so Matchroom aren't on any TV upside. They've had their money, and so have the fighters.

Who knows what DAZN eventually paid for the rights, but I'll guess they got them pretty cheap given the Saudis seemingly screwed up the rights sales. They're not worth as much when you've only got 6 days to promote the broadcast.

Now I'm wondering if they paid for them at all given in Australia, Kayo/Main Event have just announced on the day of the fight that they are selling it on PPV. They're a competitor to DAZN here - so DAZN mustn't have any exclusivity for these rights.

Pay $60 or just subscribe to DAZN for a month. Tough call.

Yes! International rights too!
