Comments Thread For: Promoter: Fans Should Be Happy; Joshua-Povetkin '50-50 Fight'

[The plunger man]

The funny part is I will happily lose points if AJ does stop him, I’ve been a fan of AJ since the Olympics....but no way he stops the Russian

well price had him put on his feet in his last feet and I'm pretty sure Joshua has much more in his arsenal than price.
Expect a clinical finish from Joshua I have no doubt about it

Got a feeling this will go wrong

If you have a PS4 or Xbox1, you can download it from the platform's app store. You'll still have to subscribe.

So it’s not like a channel I can get through my satellite? I have a PS4 so I’ll check it out

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Like Netflix but its not launched in the States yet.

Lol this is too much. When will it launch? I googled but didn’t find anything concrete

[bojangles1987]

does anyone have an issue that Povetkin gets a title shot after cheating?

Yes. It's a ****ing disgrace and just more unfortunate evidence of how crooked and awful boxing is.

Yup.

Maybe a couple of years down the line they will link up with Sky Sports in some way.

All of the US DAZN cards are going to be aired on sky sports

launch announcement on the 4th July i believe with Hearn naming the fighters signed.

he stated today and i quote


"2,3 or 4 world champions, 6 or 7 former world champions, and then some undefeated fighters and prospects

Yeah but I mean eventually DAZN will look to launch in the UK. They will either reach a deal with Matchroom for exclusivity or will do some sort of streaming merger with Sky.

No idea how it would work tbh, or whether Sky could compete financially at all.

[Phenom]

Povetkin not really looking impressive last 3 or so fights that's why they were so quick to sign this fight

39 year old Povetkin can still cause an upset AJ can get Junamaed here

It'd be the other way round. If DAZN wanted to come into the UK they would have to supplement their content with UK sport.

Sky spent over 3 billion for their packages of the EPL until 2020. BT spent over a billion and Amazon bought up the last one for 90 million..

That 90 million was for just twenty mid week only evening games.

DAZN have alot of money.. but not BskyB money. Hence why they buy rights for sports in territories that aren't native to the rights they buy because they cost so much less.

For instance they show la Liga.. but not in Spain. They show bundesliga but not in Germany .. because the native rights to those are still purchased by native TV channels and cost a **** ton of money.

Buying la Liga rights to show in Germany costs not alot at all.. hence why sky weren't bothered they lost la Liga in the UK.
