John Skipper’s ‘Golden’ moment. How he signed Canelo Alvarez to DAZN

I can't see that happening with the NFL or NBA just yet. They need a platform plus have the option to stream. Disney does that and others will follow. FOX believes in showing live sporting events on the platform but eventually will need to add more of a streaming element. They already have started with their Fox Sports App.

The bidding will be fun in a few years.

From what I've heard in recent days NFL has Game Pass already. To me that sounds like they got the infrastructure & blueprint for doing this already. They are currently charging $100/year. They can only show old games doe is the catch, due to the middlemen buying up their rights currently. So they already got the platform.

They will surely end deals with middlemen AT SOME POINT it would seem. And when they do they'll just make Game Pass a live streaming service for $200 or $400 or some higher price per year where it insures them the profit they need.

I believe there current deals are up in 2021. That might be a lil soon to flip over, but who knows. I'd bet they don't sign as long a deal with anyone with this next deal doe even if they don't make the leap & that will very likely be there last deal with middlemen. It seems like the NFL is a lock to do this its just a matter of when. And after the NFL does it how long til the NBA &/or MLB &/or NCAA Football do it? And what position does that put DAZN & ESPN+ in besides boxing, MMA & other less popularly or more clusterf#ck-ish sports being their main products to sell to the public?

I was listening to THE BREAKFAST CLUB a few days ago and they mentioned the Canelo deal. Charlemagne is supposedly a big boxing fan and he was pronouncing DAZN like the hotel Chain, "Days Inn" lol

In fairness to Charlemagne the name sucks & is goofy to say out loud & just not entirely clear yet to lotsa people. I listen to a bunch of boxing podcasts & I've heard about a 50% success rate with pronouncing DA ZONE correctly.

Randomly this reminds me of when I was late to Flo Rida & I was calling him Florida & had a whole rant to this girl I was trying to f#ck about how ****** a name that was. She obviously did not f#ck me after that dumb sh^t on my side although she did have a good laugh.

Thanks for the share!

I have no idea why people are trying to drive a wedge between DAZN and Hearn. I'm a massive fan of both DAZN and Matchroom promoted events. But I couldn't care less about the relationship between Hearn, Skipper and DLH. Maybe it's just me.

I think all that sh^t is coming about mainly cuz a lot of people are acting like Hearn is DAZN or Hearn is some undercover exec & sh^t like that & there are others saying "yea idk bout that" or shooting it down harder than that.

So its a defense of a wonky position more then these are an offensive position guys are taking.
