Will the upset help or hurt DAZN??

... Wlad also triggered the "rematch clause" vs Fury... Did it help?...

well, I doubt that Andy is going to have a mental breakdown haha

I initially felt like AJ getting dethroned (some would say "exposed" even) would be a massive hit to dazn because he's their 2nd biggest star.
But, giving it further thought, it's probably going to help it. AJ wasn't really a draw in the US yet and they don't need dazn to see him in the UK.

Seems to me this is a sacrificial win for the subscription service because it adds some excitement and credibility.

What do you think?

100% agree with this. If AJ took him out after the first knockdown, who could they get who will interest a US audience? Now they have a monster fight on the cheap. AJ obviously needs to win the rematch for it to be better long term. But ironically AJ losing to Andy Ruiz will see way more interest in his next fight.

... this time, AJ had a mental breakdown, instead... In my opinion, Joshua is done!!!...

IDK what you arguing, I don't see this as a loss for Dazn. The fight tonight was great, the whole card was solid. They have a compelling rematch on their hands(if it gets made). People pay for entertainment and value, we got that tonight.

... in terms of boxing entertainment the card really was great... but in terms of boxing business it was a dramatic loss for DAZN + Matchroom U.S. (just my opinion)...

AJ looked like he was having that breakdown during his ring walk. Never seen a champion so happy in defeat.

And I said that Ruiz Jr. was an awful style matchup, and to not be surprised if Andy won.
