Over 13M illegally streamed Joshua vs Ruiz

[MDPopescu]

Long term maybe the Mexican solution is the best. In Mexico I watched Canelo/Jacobs on free commercial tv. Only drawback was that the commercials ran longer than 1 minute between rounds so by the end of the fight the broadcast was more than a round behind.

Sure... but this is as long as you have "a Canelo" up there...

... I'm following the "online IT technology" since mid '90's... There's nothing to be done against "illegal streaming"... The only real solution consists in huge gate money!!! This is the only real answer!!!

Going back a couple decades, big domestic fights in the UK were screened live on terrestrial TV and watched by audiences of up to 20million. Big audiences = big license fees.

UK fighters like Benn, Eubank, Bruno and McGuigan became household names and millionaires from the ad money and license fees paid for their fights.

[QUOTE=_Rexy_;19809065]Yeah, I shut off DAZN and found a free stream too. Better video quality, no buffering issues[/QUOTE]



really?

that's pathetic if that's true. dazn ought to be ****ing ashamed.

i've had loading issues with catalogued fights that made them unwatchable, but never with a live event. i'd be pissed.

Maybe further proof that boxing on TV is the ultimate way to go. Use advertising $$ to make your revenue.

... That's why PPVs hit the wall... and that's why DAZN was supposed to do things better (but not in Nigeria, I guess)...

Yup most of the streams came from countries DAZN is not in or from YouTube channels that posted a replay of the fight after it was over violating copyright. YouTube shuts them down 1 by 1 but takes hours or even a day before they find them all lol

Paying almost 100 bucks for 1 fight is not sustainable in today's technology when you can find a illegal stream, play wack a mole game after the fight and try and find a replay video before it gets shut down or subscribe and legally watch fights for fraction. All better options then forking over huge PPV prices.

But...but NSB told us that DAZN was the future. So how is one of the two biggest names on DAZN getting pirated more than a PPV fighter? "It's only $20“, right?

This is the way forward streaming everything especially in countries like Nigeria, If you are stuck on normal TV you are stuck behind the real world. Smart TV has everything these days. Probably North Korea would even have smart TV for streaming soon enough.

Disappointing the smart TV I bought for my bedroom doesn't have DAZN SMH. It's a 2019 model as well I believe.

Fans in Nigeria and Kenya put in work for this fight!

Now the question is does Joshua fight in Nigeria or somewhere in Africa before his career is finished?

Have you tried IPTV with your smart TV? You get everything! Not paying for s hit

Am sure Joshua would probably fight in Africa one day, I heard he is massive over there, and him with his “Black superior” race thing would want to do that as well.

Wow! 13 mil? That's an insane number! It comes to show that it's not necessarily people tuning away from the product but are not willing to shell out the cash for it. But I'm surprised because like some of you said, DAZN was supposed to reduce this or at least work as a deterrent for people. Why? Because for a fraction of a PPV price tag, fans are being encouraged to get the big fight and plus more. The hardcore boxing fan would benefit more from getting the yearly plan which is just above the regular PPV price. But even then people aren't willing to pay up lol. I'm wondering if anything will ever deter illegal streaming. You'd think DAZN out of all of the networks would effectively cut back on this. But hey, in all honesty I've streamed the PPV's too but I got DAZN so not this one lol

What is IPTV and how does it work?

He should fight in Africa before he calls it quits. It will be a massive event there.
