Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo-Fielding Probably Gets DAZN 1 Million Subscribers

[Redd Foxx]

I'm curious to see how many people sub for 1 fight at a time. I've a feeling that instead of the $120 a year they plan on getting, it's going to be Canelo fans happily paying $10,twice a year.

a million? he did about 300K buys v Smith and him and Rocky are similar in profile. I appreciate the price difference or that it's free but finding an extra 700k people interested in this fight is very wishful thinking, regardless of price. And it's not falling on a Mexican Holiday.

Canelo vs. Rocky Fielding should be a free facebook stream.

It will be free on DAZN, apparently.

dazn is smoking hot right now, but eddie keeps acting like he's getting a cut of that canelo check, and his chronies are eating it up

hearn is co-promoting the fielding fight. from what is being reported, that is it! fielding is his fighter.

otherwise GBP made a deal directly with DAZN. i expect some collaboration, but for the most part GBP fighters will be on the GBP shows and hearn will put on shows mostly in england [some US too,] and they'll be matchroom shows on DAZN.

Eddie approached Eric Gomez and GBP about coming to DAZN which you can see for yourself in the video below. He says he was at a meeting with Golden Boy and DAZN in Californa so although he has nothing to do with Canelo, he did in fact help broker the deal. Obviously he and his fighters will massively benefit from Canelo being on DAZN.

Eddie's fanboys are definitely weirdos, then again who's fanboys aren't weirdos, but I got lil doubt that Eddie gots a subscriber deal just like Canelo (& likely Oscar has) so he does have some upside here I'd be willing to bet.

Granted he's not got anything in the specific Canelo/GBP situation, but if Canelo/GBP do bring 1M subs that will boost up Eddie's bank account I'm sure.

Where was it reported? Pretty sure it was a made up twitter rumour. Hearn said the numbers weren't too far off a normal Showtime number. Most AJ fights did approx. 500k on Showtime so AJ-Povetkin probably did 300-400k on DAZN. Obviously all of them were free trials. But they will definitely get 1m+ tuning in to watch Canelo fight for free. How many become paying subscribers remains to be seen.

AJ fights did 250K on showtime and the 15k Twitter rumor was backed by the same company that reports AJs UK PPV numbers

I think they still need a polarizing figure, and more weight classes, they do have middleweights on lock, and Canelo May draw some Mexican fans


But I still think they need the Haymon pbc Haymon crew

You'll still have to put on a credit card and they will bill you monthly afterwards

decent point, unless they give you deep catalogues of their fighters careers on there and other boxing related content etc like the WWE network do.
