Boxing can't afford for DAZN to go under especially with HBO out of boxing!
Forget Canelo and AJ they will be able to find new homes instantly if things don't work out with DAZN but it is the other fighters who would suffer the most if DAZN doesn't work. I'm for the fighters all the way and having more Networks and APPS with a budget for boxing is great for a sport that lets be brutally honest, as a whole it is not in a good space here in the US. The Casual sports fans still only care about Mayweather for the most part. While we the Hardcore Boxing Fans lie to ourselves to make ourselves believe that our current favorite fighters are these big Superstars when that is far from the truth
What needs to stop happening is fans picking sides between DAZN, FOX, SHOWTIME, ESPN and get back to being BOXING FANS and support the BOXERS instead of being bigger fans of Networks, Promoters and Advisers
DAZN will be OK, will it ever compete with ESPN+? NO! But you have APPS like FITE TV that has been able to do very well for themselves for YEARS. If they can survive then DAZN will be OK! The budget will come down eventually, even Eddie Hearn admits that the money will dry up eventually
