How will streaming work with Bars Clubs & Movie Theaters?

[MasterPlan]

What are you guys thoughts on this side of the business?

With the news of Canelo headed to DAZN, how does that news fair for the bars, clubs and movie theaters that would usually get a Canelo or any PPV fight?

I've gone to a bar to watch a PPV, and they would usually charge about $15. Well, that won't work if a DAZN subscription is only $9.99.

Same for night clubs. They increase the door price if there is a big fight.

Also, I know bars/clubs have to get some type of agreements to play PPVs. They have to pay a fee, I believe. So will DAZN/ESPN+ or whatever streaming service have to go thru simular loops?

I'm not sure how much Canelo-GGG was in theaters, but it's obviously not $9.99.

We're not sure if they're gonna increase the subscription price before a PPV?

yeah I'm not sure how this works for the big PPVs like the one Canelo will certainly be in come Cinco De Mayo. I'm thinking DAZN airs Fielding fight live but for May 2019 Canelo goes back to traditional PPV and DAZN get's rights to Canelo's past fights and PPV replay like HBO user to air his replay a week later for HBO subscribers but if you wanted to see it live you needed to order the HBOPPV. Too much money involved in Canelo's big PPVs for me to see how DAZN works in those fights you losing out on movie theater, club, bar, vegas closed circuits and all these additional money streams that are still linked to traditional cable/satellite providers.

I'm not sure DAZN is goin the PPV route.

I was wondering the same thing

PPV at Restaurant/ Bars PPV is based on their capacity

I wonder if DAZN just going to bypass that or figure something out

It would more than likely be an issue for a business to do this, although I've been to businesses that were doing it lol. I think all they could do is cancel your account doe.

I know for PPV's they actually hire people to check venues to make sure they aren't showing the fights without paying the fee to show it & they fine the f#ck outta them if they are. I've never heard anything like that with Netflix, Youtube or Hulu. But if you were advertising a DAZN or ESPN+ card you would probably run afoul of DAZN or ESPN+ eventually I'd imagine.

But being that its becoming more mainstream one would think it'll be something that'll be cleared up more or okay'd cuz basically its kinda like going over to a club to watch a HBO or Showtime fight. You gotta pay extra for HBO & Showtime. You gotta pay extra for ESPN+ & DAZN. Interesting question doe, but I suspect it'll be something you'll see more & more & it won't be much of a thing with some minimal bs involved between the bar & streaming service maybe & I'd bet a ton of people will be doing it cuz it'll be so easy to do it.

no idea, but considering how awful the wifi is at bars/restaurants/etc. they gotta step their game up. You think normal people get annoyed with buffering? Try drunk people.

In australia we don't pay to watch fights in bars or clubs, how does that work?

[filup79]

Won't work. U pretty much gotta stay home to watch DAZN fights. Bars and restaurants would have to change their whole system. That means swapping to smart TVs or adding firesticks or rokus to every tv. Add to that the cost and they would have to have large enough download speeds in order to be able to stream all those TVs or streaming devices at once. Seems like to much of a hassle and money for them to switch to that. Especially when they're already set-up to show more popular sports that bring in customers.

[filup79]

I seriously doubt it. Depends if the business is willing to change their whole setup and swap to smart TVs or add streaming devices to tvs to get the app. It's more of an expense to business to do all that. Add to that the streaming speed needed to run all those devices connected to the business wifi connection

They either set up a business/commercial rate or they don't. Their choice.
