    Not everyone can just wake up and be the big leagues.
    Losing money on the guy keeping them afloat in back to back fights would be pretty rough

      Not surprising. I hadn't seen fans clamoring for the trilogy for some time now. Golovkin fought four times in the four years since their 2nd fight. DAZN losing money yet again.
      Bad numbers ? Im suprised you can find more than 500.000 idiots who are willing to pay for this.

        GGG bombed on PPV before the 1st Canelo fight....then when Canelo decided to fight him they did over 1 million.

        Benavidez and Charlo have had fans clamoring for Canelo to fight them.....Canelo is the main draw and those other 2 bring enough interest to potentially make a big fight. And those fights wouldn't be on such a sh itty platform like DAZN. If Canelo did 800k against a no-name no-sume bum like Plant then I'm willing to go out on a limb and say Benavidez and/or Charlo vs Canelo will generate 1 million or close to it.

            lol I cancelled my DAZN sub after they jacked the price up and made canelo fights PPV.

            They ***ed up the contracts and overpaid GGG to fight bums and now they think they can cover their losses from early years by ******* up prices. They think the fans should pay for their mistakes. *** them

                No Surprise! Canelo gets his money so he don't care, it was DAZN who was obsessed with this Trilogy that was way pass its Expiration Date

                GGG is a Free Agent now, I doubt they want him back anyway since he clearly looks past it. Canelo down to his last fight on this Current Deal in which I guess they hope it is Canelo vs Bivol 2 which is far from a Mega Fight so they will likely take another Lose on that fight given the Purse he is guaranteed. The AJ deal is just starting but he is coming off 2 Loses and a Mental Break so who even knows if he is the same but not only that they don't even have a big fight for him if Wilder and Fury doesn't fight him

                DAZN won't last, people in complete Denial about it but I give it another Year or Less, they either File Bankruptcy OR they Sell out to Discovery+

                  Yeah that won’t cover Canelo’s $45m and GGG’s $20 guarantees.

                  PPV and gate revenue will probably end up being $70m. But others have to get paid too, not just team Canelo and team GGG.

                    No interest whatsoever.
                    You’re only interested Fury

                    We know this already

                      What’s the highest PPV buys DAZN have had?
