Comments Thread For: Top Rank secure new broadcast deal with DAZN

[Apollo7]

Welcome to Deadzone

Almost everyone is on DAZN now, including the smaller players. Isn't this streaming service all about much like Netflix, Amazon and others? You don't have to be a Spielberg, Lucas, Marvel producer to be on Netflix. You can make a movie using your cell phone and Netflix would buy it. All because they won't survive without contents and attract subscribers.
Point is, you don't have to be Top Rank, Matchroom or GBP for DAZN to have your boxing show on their platform. They're hungry for contents.
All roads lead to DAZN.

You know at some point I will cave and just get DAZN. It is just been hard to justify the price. But if all the major brands are there, I am sure I will cave. I am weak willed. I miss watching boxing.

I will give it a bit to see if prices climb. If they don't, well than it looks like I eat out less every month.

Yeah, I don't know if it's really been worth it, except to get my boxing fix. With TR involved hopefully that will make it definitely worth it. I don't have the "premium" package and have no plans to. I skip the majority of PPV events because most don't interest me enough to shell out the dough. I probably pay for 3 or 4 a year.

On the other hand the "dinner for schmucks" is almost complete. Dazn came in 2018 with promise to takeover the American market and build a bunch of new American stars for $10 a month. Fast forward 8 years and they have got about 75% of the market but still no American stars.....for $45 a month. They bring on Top rank with no Bud or Shakur. The only good thing about this is we will get a heavy dose of Abdullah Mason. But still they will not have success in America for $45 a month. Sorry!

I pay $21.22/month. I don't have their BS "premium" package.

Yes i see the addition as being something DAZN is proud of but how will they ever compete with Zuff ? David meet Gollith................. Get your sling and take your shot.......

How do you see upstart Zuffa being the Goliath against 4 of the top 5 (all except PBC) boxing promotional companies in the world? Plus, add in Teiken via their cross-promotions with TR (and they already work with DAZN in some other capacity).

Could backfire. Here in Europe i have two DAZN accounts for two different countries and as the price was increasing almost every year DAZN always offered to stay with the same price if i extend my yearly supscription within the period of this special offer. Due to that i save 20 euros on both account. It's 40 euro less and i guess being an early member sometimes pays off.

You obviously aren't here in 'Murica if you're implying Top Rank (and HBO) didn't spend the last 15 years trying to promote East Euro fighters over Americans. Anyway I bet the 3 upcoming shows PBC has coming up will be wildly more popular in America that what Turki boy does!

Problem with PBC is they rarely put on any shows. How many events did we have since they joined Prime. I really enjoyed watching PBC shows and for me it was the strongest promotional company but now they are almost dead but i always hope they can recover since they still have a pretty strong roster. Would have loved to see PBC and TR find/land together on one solid network that gives them a solid payday and busy schedule and forces them to work together.

This is what it was about the whole time. Drag American boxing down to C level Euro boxing. Mission 75% complete. Hold the line PBC!

PBC going to dazn would be the only reason I would ever get that app. I’ll stick with boxing on Amazon and Netflix in the meantime

I’d trade with dazn over zuffa any day. The day that boxing dumps Dana MAGA White and the royal house of saud will be a great day. The folks currently on dazn are at least actual boxing folks dedicated to the sport

I am a big fan of annual memberships. I am loving that you are on the right side of this.
