Annual Boxing Budgets Realesed: DAZN 200+ Mil, ESPN 90 Mil, SHO/FOX 100 Mil

[Robbie Barrett]

As expected, thread full of Wilder fans ****ting on DAZN just because they're associated with Hearn. Extreme fanboyism.

But it is the broadcasters who will suffer in the long run.

... I put it wrong... the fighters, the broadcasters and the promoters are taking the money in the short run... but the true (candid) investors are losing their money... in the long run, the actual sport is losing...

[Earl-Hickey]

... OK... but this is a "#1 star-oriented" policy, not a "sport-oriented" business model...

they just started doing business a few months ago mate, what do you expect?

Yea 84k people watched his first DAZN fight. Really massive.

Yeah let's see how many numbers Canelo-Jacobs does.

Obviously signing the biggest PPV draw in the sport is a big deal to act like it's not is just ******.

DAZN getting Canelo is massive.

If they get GGG then things will get very interesting.

G may be 37 before he steps in the ring next. Realistically how many years do you think he's got left?

Takes two to tango, or else you would have posted the numbers for Canelo/Fielding.

DAZN started business back in August 2016... and their owners started the TV business back in 2007...

****** alert, seriously calling his argument a strawman for saying DAZN launched years ago (which it did) But you're going to call him a liar.

It always takes two to tango.

It's not alarming that Canelo didn't do big numbers with Fielding.

Floyd, Oscar, Tyson, Pac.

Pick any PPV star out a hat. All of them do drastically bigger numbers when they have a dance partner. That's just common sense.

Having Canelo on board is huge for DAZN. Surely that can't be denied?

As for GGG, he's near the end but still a big attractive name at DAZN.

Why would G take a 2 or 3 fight deal with DAZN fully knowing that his entire contract would be to build him up only to sacrifice him to Canelo in a fight where he’s years older and needs a knockout to win. He should just go after the other champs. There’s no guarantee Canelo doesn’t drop a belt and avoid the trilogy anyway, contract or not.
