Comments Thread For: DAZN's Skipper: Joshua Has Star Potential Of LeBron & Ronaldo

But we can't access DAZN in the UK.

I know, even better, Sky Sports commentary for an AJ fight as far more authentic than a DAZN USA covering AJ. I’m saying that Matchroom and DAZN are a powerhouse partnership, and DAZN USA gets the production value, broadcast feed from Sky except for the commentary, so to me, since you have to pay for Sky anyways and a PPV all while Matchroom is cross platform with Eddie doing his part across the pond, I see it a DAZN UK since it’s all joint sharing and profits. Networks like ESPN Showtime or Fox don’t benefit at all from that such viewership

DAZN USA don't have the right to Matchroom (UK) Fights. They have the rights to Matchroom (USA) fights. Matchroom USA and Matchroom UK are two different en******.

Sky Sports have exclusive right to Matchroom (UK) fights. Sky Sports is obviously an English entity and thus Sky's exclusivity with Matchroom lies within the shores of the UK.

To me that doesn’t make any sense. Isn’t Joshua Miller on Sky Sports Box Office? It will also be on DAZN USA. You’re speaking of UK based domestic fights on Sky? I’m saying “Matchroom” is a UK brand. This is why Hearn is always in a win win situation, and Jacobs Andrade etc are signed to Matchroom. So to me it’s DAZN UK. I’m not talking about the app. I’m saying Skipper and Hearn benefit from a UK entity that can broadcast an AJ Miller as well as Sky. To me that’s DAZN UK. Just giving Hearn credit where it’s due.

2021 there'll be a DAZN UK. This analyst predicts Apple will buy out DAZN by then, and arm them in a huge rights buying effort. Matchrooms Sky contract ends in 2021 aswell. Puts a strong argument across that ****s about to change big time. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-2...r/?published=t

LeBron was giving a minority stake in Liverpool as part of his deal with Fenway Sports Group to represent him. For all intents and purpose Fenway Sports Group are Liverpool's owners and not LeBron who doesn't even represent the club at all.

I think DAZN have first refusal rights on Matchroom UK fights.

No, he's far too boring in and out of the ring to reach that level of stardom. With his personality and fighting style, the best he could hope for is to become the next Klitschko. Actually, he already is that.

...In The UK Absolutely! Globally? MAYBE!

In the US, not so sure yet, not even Ronaldo is that big in the US but we Know Of Him! I like AJ Humble Personality but in the US that will be considered BORING and people are going to want to see more of a personality from him and no Eddie Speaking for him will NOT go over well in the US

But I think AJ for sure can be a STAR in the US

There is nothing genuine about the way Joshua comes across when spoken to. Everything seems rehearsed and dull.

[BOXING-SCRIBE]

Aj also makes MY bum list..he will barely get by Big Baby..Fury is king

What is the cost for Sky Sports, on top of that a PPV? We are talking Matchroom Sports. If Matchroom cards were "exclusive" then DAZN wouldn't have rights to even buy it. Or you mean different commentary? Matchroom Boxing is a UK entity. Whatever Skipper saw or sees with Sky deals with Matchroom justifies their investment in the USA. Since Hearn speaks on behalf of DAZN USA, it's all the same people. So in my eyes, DAZN USA having the rights to Matchroom (UK) Fights is basically DAZN UK.

Bruhh stop talking gibberish mayyynnn
