NO One Brand, Network or in this case "APP" is going to "Own Boxing" stop with all this Fanbody of a APP BS
Most of the people who keep saying this are not even in America for 1 so they don't even know how BIG the US Market is nor do they know how it works. DAZN, PBC/FOX/Showtime/ and Top Rank/ESPN all will be around for awhile. Just because Showtime refuse to go over their Set Budget doesn't mean they're going out of business
Lets wait and see over the next few years if DAZN is able to even Maintain This Budget. If they can then GREAT, if they can't then that will suck for these fighters they signed for a lot of money. Yes DAZN is backed by Wealthy people but they're going to want to see a Profit and Subscription Increase so the job is not done yetComment

First it was come see our guys on ESPN. Then it was, sign up for our App at only $4.99 a month and see our guys. Now its pay $80 on ESPN PPV and see our guys.
Fk Bob Arum, he bamboozled us again that old geezer

yup...simply having deep pockets doesn't win automaticallyNO One Brand, Network or in this case "APP" is going to "Own Boxing" stop with all this Fanbody of a APP BS

remember how all these guys were talking about how al was plowing through the investors money and would be out of boxing real soon? only to see him re-up across the networks?
well its feasible that DAZN plows through a bunch of money without much success....its also possible they do really well
these clowns are going overboard on rumors...they are thinking they are winning some game/fight against internet message board posters...its kinda pathetic....theyre like the same group of guys hoping for tank/loma asap ...hoping loma destroys him so they can feel like they beat Floyd himself and come brag
theres a lot of time for all of this to play out....ive yet to see DAZN poach a signifigant pbc guy....when they do ill believe they are forreal....
these guys are rooting for them to get wilder, charlo and davis ...meanwhile last week they were calling all 3 of them bums and nobodiesComment

yup...wait till DAZN pulls it
you really think theyre gonna let people pay 10 bucks to watch wilder/AJ when they can charge 80 and still get the same amount of buyers?Comment

Yes.
It's almost an unfair takeover. Some billionaire willing to take massive losses in order to drown his competitors. And since Showtime, Fox and ESPN programming are not centred around boxing, I can't see them willing to put up too big of a fight.
I don't see DAZN becoming a monopoly any time soon though. PBC has the WW division locked down, and it would cost DAZN way too much to go after it right now. WW has already become the only thing worthwhile about PBC.Comment

We'll have to wait and see I guess. I can see them raising the rate a few dollars for sure but I'm praying they don't pull that Arum B.S.Comment
