Canelo vs Jacobs draws massive TV ratings

[Eff Pandas]

Dazn get the uk Matchroom cards on a reciprocal deal that sees he Dazn cards appearing on Sky. Obviously should Dazn turn their heads to the uk market then Eddie will have a decision to make, but for now he's just about managing to please two masters.

Matchroom has also formed several companies in various territories which look like the foundation for expansion across territories:

Dazn were already in Germany but the same process has taken place in other countries that don't have Dazn, yet...

Yea that makes sense. I suspect if DAZN makes a move towards the UK market it'll be after the Hearn/Sky deal ends (is there an end date on that deal?) or after the 8yr Hearn deal ends & Hearn isn't around assuming that were to happen.

Of course: and who was welcoming DAZN in the U.S.?...

Lotsa fans.

Boxing costs money in the US either way. I think boxing is free in Mexico. Or primarily free anyway. A new player coming in & charging for boxing & in a poorer country then the US is fighting a losing battle. I'd be surprised if there is a DAZN Mexico move anytime soon.

... We all remember how Al Haymon tried to bring boxing on "free TV"... but now he's fighting DAZN, instead...

Okay. Figured someone had to show it but wasn't sure who.

Randomly I wonder if DAZN has pre-agreed on rights deals to different countries they roll out to in the future with Canelo & GBP & anyone else for that matter or if those rights just get individual discussed & decided upon or not upon DAZN entering these new countries? Cuz I do expect DAZN could be entering the UK in the future & will certainly be entering other countries in the future.

It's possible with Canelo being the biggest box office draw in the world; They could have easily negotiated separate online streaming broadcast agreements with other countries around the globe.

However, I believe that in all likelihood that most of the broadcasts that were shown in different countries were on television rather than DAZN.

I will say this, the more subscribers DAZN gets, then greater are their chances of them expanding globally into every corner of the earth; Similarly to other online streaming services like Netflix.

As I said in another thread the politics for DAZN landing in Mexico will be war, Televisa and Azteca won’t want it to happen

Like I told you, I seriously doubt Mexican fans that can see Canelo fights for no charge will pay even as little as $8.33 a month. $8.33 is better than $79.99 but it’s not better than $0.00.

There are more DAZN threads than I made single handedly. I knew the PBC shillers would fold and join the club. It’s for the big dawgs!

... when I started this discussion line here (i.e. DAZN and the TV rights in Mexico and U.K.), I was addressing exactly this kind of "TV deals" (i.e. Canelo's, Hearn's)...

... this wasn't a "DAZN thread" until I put a question...

You don’t know what you’re talking about. That’s like saying anyone who watched PBC Free primetime Fights have/had no knowledge of HBO, Showtime or ESPN paid subscriptions. Figure out the point. Your angle about consumers finding what’s free on TV has nothing to do with all the interesting content these VODs have.

Was my statement singular for this thread or the vast amount of “threads” on the board about DAZN?

[Holler]

One of the most interesting aspects of DAZN's entry into the US market has been their transition from content distribution to content creation. Just as Netflix has moves towards creating its own shows, now DAZN can use their us cards to add value to other territories. It would be interesting in this regard to know if they had all of the international rights to Canelo bar Mexico?

As an aside is anyone else tired of the incessant tribalism on this forum? Whether it's PBC vs DAZN or Haymon vs Hearn or whatever, it's just not what I joined this forum for? I want to discuss boxing, including the business side of it. I don't want to see this constant bickering between people who are so invested in one faction or another?
