    How much did DAZN lose putting on Canelo-GGG III?

    Canelo and GGG were reported to earn around $65m and $43m respectively based on guarantees, bonuses etc.

    The fight only did 550-575k buys per Dan Rafael, that’s less than 50m in PPV revenue.

    I imagine the gate was around 20m again but that still leaves you way short of the money you needed to recoup.

    Based on what they paid the fight would have needed to do similar numbers to the 2nd fight for DAZN to merely break even. That fight was on HBO and both fighters were close to their peaks. Did they really think they were going to do the same numbers as HBO on a f***ing app with a 40 year old Golovkin and Canelo coming off a loss?

    DAZN need to start firing some of these clowns or they’re gonna run the business into the ground. They’re doing it already tbh. Game changed will soon become game over the way it’s going.

    How do we guess when it was a PPV in about 10 other countries?

      They wouldn’t have generated 50k buys between them. The international PPV market ain’t worth sh**.

        Actually it is. They didn't lose money... And Fat Dan ain't even in the game anymore. He just salty because Canelo cuzzed at him.

          I’m not a fan of Fat Dan but his sources are legit and no it ain’t worth sh**. You really think people are paying to watch a fight at 5am between two foreign fighters? Go and look at the figures from fight 2, they don’t even include international tv revenue in the total revenue.

            Both are not American fighters. If there was no money in foreign countries then why is there a lot of fights outside of the USA?

            I really don't care either way. Ain't my money? I bought the fight and it suked. It is what it is.

            Who's fat Dan's sources? Showtime? HBO? ESPN? Bob Arum who hates him???

            2-3 days later and he knows how much buys a fight did???

              They’ve both been fighting in the US for a decade plus you fool.

              Dan has been a leading member of the boxing media for decades, you really think he doesn’t have inside sources?

                Canelo-Bivol generated the exact same number of 550k according to Dan. Worldwide (Canada + US only), according to Hearn was comfortably over 600k. So atleast 50k in Canada. Now add 10 countries.

                  The international revenue is completely inconsequential. It wouldn’t have even covered the undercard expenses. Where else was it even on PPV? The UK for £9.99?

                    Dunno but obviously this fight should have happened the year they signed them both. I dont think they've really gotten their moneys worth out of either guy.
