Comments Thread For: Arum: Whether or Not DAZN Moves The Needle is Questionable

[Thuglife Nelo]

Dazn viewership is terrible. Canelo has lost tons of sponsorship dollars now due to low viewership #s. You guys do not get the business side.

Stop with these h0mpsexuals lies. I’m sure all the Mexicans in California, New York, whilst buying their tacos will be watching Canelo on their cellphones simultaneously. It’s a new era of technology.

al gaymon overpaying fighters to fight bums in perpetuity is bad! at least dazn is going to match its best fighters quickly and not milk it for years like your trans daddy.

DAZN is going to match its best fighters quickly???? You've lost touch with reality. So far we've seen:

• Canelo vs. Rocky Fielding - an absolute joke of a fight
• Demetrius Andrade taking on 2 guys no one has ever heard of - Kautondokwa and Akakov
• Andrade set to take on the winner of Rosado-Suliecki - a fight no one wants
• Danny Jacobs taking on 2 no-hopers - Arias and Suliecki - who between them won about 5 of the combined 24 rounds
• Anthony Joshua, supposedly the best heavyweight in the world, taking on light-hitting, overweight Jarrell Miller, whose best win is....38-year old Mariusz Wach?
• Derek Chisora vs...some guy named Sanad Gashi?!?!?!
• IBF champion Tevin Farmer taking on two no-names, James Tennyson and Francisco Fonseca
  

And guaranteed that Golovkin will fight a bum in his first fight on DAZN.

Doesn't sound like the best vs. the best to me. DAZN has already been milking it.

***** me you're a moron. You must actually be the dumbest poster here and that is saying something.

So Canelo is going to lose viewership even though is fights are $10 vs $75+? Right....

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Lol at people acting like DAZN has been putting on the best fights. Who are all those bums Jacobs, Miller, Farmer, Andrade, Rios,. They are responsible for the worst card of 2018 with that garbage they put on in the middle of nowhere Kansas. They are a good platform but still have a long way to go.

You can go on and on. They haven’t had one good card yet.

Canelo is facing Jacobs next for unified .. it's a great fight.

Andrade had to fight kautondokwa, it was ordered. Akavov was an industry standard first defence and he beat him better than Saunders.

You're correct on the Andrade/rosado/ sulecki but what else is he meant to do. Lemiuex has moved up and golovkin won't take on Andrade in his first fight it doesn't make sense for DAZN or him.

Jacobs fought arias and sulecki on HBO. Not DAZN. He also fought derevyanchenko whom you missed out .. on HBO. Stop exhibiting selective bias.

Anthony Joshua and the whole HW division has been talked to death. Wilders meeting DAZN next week with views to make that fight. Until then he fights a guy Joshua smashed 5 fights ago.

Derek chisora is on a UK card. That's nothing to do with DAZN they merely take the UK sky cards and show them. Blame Parker for wanting a longer camp.

Tevin farmers fighting who he fights because TMT and ellerbe refuse to allow gervonta to head to DAZN even for one fight for his highest payday.

The card this week in Philly is a good card...and farmer headlines so why moan?



You need to do some homework

That card this weekend is horrible. Carroll is coming off a draw & Rosado/Sulecki is a WBO eliminator.bFarmer is getting paid good money to fight bums because his name has been linked to Tanks's. Why the hell would Ellerbee allow Tank to go fight on a platform that has less subscribers than the ratings he got for his fight on Showtime, which were not good.

[bigdunny1]

Arum says Showtime is going out of business and DAZN doesn't move the needle. He is just a crusty bitter old man. Specifically for DAZN they launched in what Sept or Oct? And already they have signed up 3 of the biggest stars and draws in boxing and right now have more overal world champs signed then any other Network ESPN or PBC. Think about how fast they did that in just 5-6 months. But they don't move the needle sure Bob.

DAZN has hands down the best schedule of fights coming up. Nobody has a better March-June lineup. With Canelo/Jacobs, WBSS tourney, SSR vs Estrada rematch, Joshua/Miller, Daniel Roman/Doheny unification. And GGG is fighting the Canelo/Jacobs winner in Sept. And none of these fights are on PPV. Meanwhile Arum you forced to put a trash Crawford fight on PPV. lol

[asgarth]

This is ether lol.
You can go on and on. They haven’t had one good card yet.

I dont think that most people wont agree with you on that opinion. Everyone knows about DAZN/Hearn's problems of singing the more popular US fighters, but the pieces are starting to come together.

Canelo Vs Jacobs is a legit fight. One P4P guy, the other Top5 in his division.

Rungvisai Vs Estrada II is also between the number #1 and #2 in their division. Rungvisai also being a p4p guy.

Im expecting Usyk to fight a legit opponent in his next fight.

GGG is supposed to fight a tune up fight unfortunately, but DAZN has canelo, andrade, jacobs and GGG at middleweight. No way that he isnt facing one of them in the second quarter of the year. If he doesnt want to fight the best middleweights, he could have signed with Toprank or PBC.

WBSS seminfinals are awesome and If the organizers are not facing any challenges again, we will also get the finals this year.

Other than that, I believe DAZN has the most top10 Vs top10 fighters scheduled at the moment in 2019.

bivol vs smith
rungvisai vs estrada
Roman vs doheny
prograis vs relikh
donaire vs tete
alvarez vs jacobs
taylor vs baranchyk
inoue vs rodriguez
joshua vs miller
briedis vs glowacki
dorticos vs tabiti

and the schedule is only set until mid of june.

Also, Gassiev is rumored to sign with DAZN. I am still skeptic, but if DAZN is able to sign Wilder, they will have a pretty decent heavyweight lineup:

Joshua, Wilder, Usyk, Hrgovic, Miller, Chisora and Povetkin and Kuzmin are also featured on DAZN.

[NachoMan]

ESPN + needs a cable subscription and pay the $5 dollar to use ESPN +. No thank you. I don’t even be cable.
