Comments Thread For: Are the enormous viewing figures for Netflix an indicator of future success for DAZN?

DAZN doesn't rely on the sport of boxing alone. I've been seeing them cover all kinds of sports. Seems they've become the goto for small and big promotional outfits. I see muay thai, MMA, soccer, cricket, rugby, dart, you name it, sports that I've not seen them in before. It's growing.

Had they relied on boxing alone, they would have been dead a long time ago. I don't even think they make tons of money on boxing. A sport full of greedy fighters, fight once a year, etc.

Netflix is about movies and TV shows, it bought into the Tyson BS as a freebee for its subscribers very few would have paid extra to watch that its a pseudo way of looking at the numbers , the last breakfast cereal add was viewed by the same number doesn't mean they sold 60 mill boxes of cereal, the ones that made the real money out of this BS was Tyson and Paul and of course the bookies that took the money from the suckers that bought into the Tyson hype, its the way of the world now BS sells like its a hot ticket, worlds full of brain dead fcks.

Tyson bs I thought Tyson was your boy wasn't your boy Jeff Fenech training him throw up some flicks of you Jeff and Mike hanging

Don't hate appreciate

All they need is a media whore and 10 million zombies vs a boxer with historic pedigree and a stacked under-card with a bear vs elephant, two roasters and some noob screaming the tiger needs to sign with PBC and Crawford is avoiding the elephant.

Because America, that's why!

Everybody in Europe buys dazn. It's dirt cheap and even has loads of football and other sports. The best money I spend for sports here in Ireland. Are yanks that poor that they can't afford 20 dollars a month for dazn. I thought all you ****ers were rich.

America is about 300 old guys and a bunch of wannabes on the brink of bankruptcy.

DAZN can survive, but they need to adjust their model to work. As a boxing fan, I have survived without DAZN because I have had a few other outlets to entertain me. If that is no longer the way it will work come 2025, yes they will likely get me. But the casual fan is what keeps a sport alive and thriving. Boxing is losing what casual fans they have by putting everything behind a paywall. This is unsustainable.

DAZN needs to start by dropping prices, especially the yearly one. Amazon and some other services have shown once someone has subscribed yearly, they are way more likely to stay with it than a monthly model. Next, ensure PPV is WAY cheaper for those subscribing. Again, do you want a few thousand buys at a high price, or multiple tens of thousands at a cheaper one? Charge more for non-subscribers and hope that consumers see the advantage of using the service to enjoy the PPVs at affordable rate.

Next, acquire some documentaries and other reality based sports-related content that is cheaper to produce or buy, and allows for easy repeated viewing. Again, this is about **** for the buck on both sides. Produce some regionally produced shows talking about local fighters or other sports. Get other, cheaper combat sports. Grab growing smaller leagues. Sounds like this is happening in Europe markets.

Lastly- once or twice a year do a free, available to everyone with an app card that is truly big. Of course sell ads to offset this, but get people to use your service. There will always be a group of people who will try it over time if they are interested. But you need eyeballs to grow. Free provides eyeballs.

Of course investors are needed, but growth (real or imagined) will get those. DAZN will fail with out casual fans because sports fail without them. This needs to be the focus.

So, apparently b-a-n-g is a bad word too.

No, because people get way more **** for their buck on Netflix. The $10-$15 for Netflix is packed with TV shows and movies. If no boxing is on, people can still use Netflix.

I pay a yearly fee for DAZN, just because i’m that big of a boxing fan, only to watch it 2-3 times a year.

I do not see regular casuals ever doing this. DAZN doesn’t really offer anything that appeals to the masses.

It’s like HBO. It had boxing, but it also had TV shows that made it worth keeping it. I still have HBO even though boxing is gone.

Didn't dazn used to offer other sports besides boxing ?

That's why I thought. I would never buy it but it's something like espn + right ?

This guy you responded to sounds like the ********s after their recent drubbing…..”what’s wrong with you people?! Why didn’t you all vote for us?! Are you ****** or something! If you don’t vote for me I’ll insult you!”
