    You don't have to a business expert. All you need to know is how to add & subtract to see that these numbers don't add up.

    Either these numbers they're releasing are fake or if the numbers are real they're losing a lot more money than they're taking in. $70+ mil a year for 2 Canelo fights. Need 3 1/2 million US subs to cover just his purse. ESPN plus hasn't hitv those numbers yet & they're far ahead of DAZN.

    All you need is common sense to understand these numbers don't add up

      This right here. But their infrastructure isn't better than any of the companies you named & their data business is the most attractive business. The question is where will these other fighters be in 2 years & who'll buy out their contracts.

        Serious question - why would you conflate lack of class and civility with a group of people whose only real aim is to live together as a cohesive group?

        A group of white people wanting to live together and with one another shouldn't offend anyone. We all self-segregate all the time anyway, and most people feel way more comfortable around people who are like them.

                Yet you seem to be struggling with adding and subtracting.

                $70mil a year for 2 Canelo fights does not require 3 1/2 million US subs to cover just his purse.

                You seem to be working on the premise that somebody would sign up for the month to watch Canelo than cancel in order to get to the figure of 3 1/2 million US subs... but even if people are doing that it's 2 fights in a year and thus people would be subscribed for 2 months which is $40 which comes out at 1.75million subs.

                Even then that isn't that realistic because the business model is to get people subscribed permanently, which costs $100 a year so then you are only talking 700k subs. Feel free to argue that nobody would sign up for the whole year and truthfully at the moment you would probably be right but that does not change that is what their aim is.

                  ? lol what? That again had 0 to do with my response, but it is indicative of the same logic you were using before, that I was calling you out on.

                  Ie - If you hate these people so much and view them as a threat to you, and all they want to do is live separate to you - why do you have a problem with that?

                  Saying you hate them and fear them and then wanting to live amongst them makes 0 sense my friend. You can't have it both ways.

                    Let me try an analogy to help you understand better.

                    Let's say we are animals on a farm.

                    You say 'Man I hate the foxes, they are dangerous'

                    Me - 'Why'

                    You - 'They want to live in a separate group in the forest, apart from everyone else'

                    Me - 'Oh anything else?'

                    You - 'Well I just think they are kind of dangerous too'

                    Me - 'So let's let them live separate from us then'

                    You - 'No, they need to stay here with us'

                    Lol your logic makes 0 sense bro.
