    Hearne deal with DAZN is a bust

    DAZN need 1.05 million us monthly subscribers average for 8 years to break even. They have an out after 24 months to void this whole deal. Hearn better not blow all his upfront cash on signing bonuses or he will be bankrupt in 3-4 years. They can opt out of the 500 million payment due year 3.

      I think they know what theyre doing. Theyve done 1.5 million subscribers in 2 years in Japan. Take Hearn out of it, hes just someone theyve appointed to lead it. Then you have a company thats paying more than HBO and Showtime combined, that wants to destroy the competition. Dont let the Hearn thing blind you

          I believe this is part of a bigger plan to build international stars in partnership with the PBC

              DAZN is an international service. They don't need subs solely from the US. They'll have the international rights, which means all the fans in countries where DAZN is available will need to sign up to see the fights. US is a big part of their targeted market but not the only part.

                Yeah sounds off to me too. I used a calculator $20 per month, 1.05M people would be an income of 252M per year. No idea how TS came up with his numbers.

                    I've had DAZN for about 9 months now...very good service... especially in Canada with the NFL package.
