Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo/DAZN Deal Will End PPV Boxing In the United States

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn believes the historic deal Canelo Alvarez, Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN have struck will signal the end of pay-per-view boxing in the United States. The 28-year-old Alvarez's 11-fight contract with the new streaming service reportedly could be worth as much as $365 million. It'll also make the Mexican superstar's fights available as part of a $9.99 monthly subscription to DAZN

If Canelo can get 36mil minimum per fight then fighters won't care if they fight on PPV or on a app.. Infact more people will see his PPV level fight on DAZN cus of the lower cost so they get more fans.

Bob arum already said that a couple years ago thats why he made the deal with espn and they just had the most televised fight 2.2 million viewers

We shall see what numbers Wilder/Fury does... THAT will be the new measuring stick.
(Especially now that we know DAZN will not add an additional charge for AJ or Canelo fights)

IMO, that fight will impact if SHO wants to invest in PPV's.
Defo will change Fox's interest in PPV aswell.

Rarely agree with Eddie as of late but he might have a point here

We won't know til after the first Canelo-DAZN event. The first one is free. Now in May we'll see.

True, Are u expecting them to spring a DAZN+ ??
(Its not far fetched at all to expect that either.. )

They over paid Canelo. Canelo need to fight good fighter to make Dazn deal worth while. If he starts losing then that deal is garbage.

Ironically the WWE did it first with their WWE Network and now boxing, Hearn is on to something.
