Comments Thread For: DAZN: Canelo-Jacobs Fight Watched By 1.2 Million Worldwide

[KTFOKING]

"Definitely" seems like a overstep, maybe "they likely" would be better, cuz if 600k of the 700k peak were US that 85.7% US viewers percentage translated to that 1.2M overall number = over 1M. So idk about definitely, but probably or most likely seems more reasonable.

I don't get it. Explain this in more detail please. 1.2M was the worldwide number, but how does 600k US viewers translate to a million US subscribers?

That’s some crappy numbers...

The other thing is the concurrent streams may also include bars/restaurants.

I don't think it does. It doesn't typically with PPV I know that.

Its considered closed circuit & accounted for differently + takes more time to figure out cuz its harder to count the tickets sold.

DAZN will make their money as long as they keep the stars on their platform.

But for the love of God please hire a better broadcast team. FIRE Kenny & Mora asap. I used to give Lampley sh-t the last few years of HBO boxing & Roy as well but I'd take those two in a heart beat.

Idk what's worse DAZN or FOX. ESPN has gotten better with the addition of Max and Ward but they were in the same boat not too long ago. Showtimes got the most solid team, but they have their off nights as well here and there. God I didn't think I'd miss HBO this much

I mean again, if that is the case then they are no close to a million subscribers as bigdunny1 stated. If they only had 300-400k subscribers heading into the event, then Canelo didn't move the needle to the point they surpassed that amount.

The more important thing is how many subscribers they retained after the fight. And I guess as equally important is how many subscribers will fail to cancel their service in a months time LOL.

If I had to guess I would say they probably have 600,000-700,000 subscribers in the US currently based on these numbers that have been released. If they didn't have Canelo the'd probably only have maybe half that. So he is clearly moving the needle.

How does it mean they definitely cracked 1 mil us? Please explain.

You do realize this just who watched it live right? So you think NOBODY who is subscribed to DAZN either for another sport other then boxing? or just had shyt to do and didn't watch live? So you think every subscriber watched live? I watched it at friend's house who had a party for the fight so I'm a subscriber but not live viewer. You also have people who subscribe to DAZN for MLB Baseball or for Bellator. What if you are subscriber but just wanted to watch the fight at the bar?

[STREET CLEANER]

Even that most get the subscription for the fights they have to better the production. Those announcers except for Kenny left a lot to be desired.

That was under the old model.

600k (US) of the 700k (worldwide) was PEAK numbers. Some people came & left.

1.2M was the overall who viewed the fight worldwide. This is counting ALL people who watched for some period of time or any period of time (not sure how they count that exactly).

I'm just using the % of US viewers on the peak & converting it to the overall. Could be 100% right, could be 100% wrong, probably is close within a reasonable range.

No, I didn't say Canelo is moving the needle....I'm talking about going from 300-400k subscribers to a million...Canelo isn't moving the needle quite like that.

The story says US viewership for @Canelo @DanielJacobsTKO peaked at 600,000, so that’s a strong indication of what the subscriber base is near, industry sources say.

So looks like Pugmire is hearing they have around 600,000 subscribers. That sounds more accurate than them hitting a million after this fight.
