More proof John Skipper DKSAB

[Eff Pandas]

And for those that don't understand this whole MCC vs DAZN thing this is MCC's moms boyfriend DAZN cooking breakfast when he wakes up to start his day.

Cuz he used to be a major component of ESPN's success over the last 2 decades?

Idk that many people know or care about the billionaire guy to be THAT invested in him to begin with. I'm guessing ~98% of people couldn't pick him outta a lineup. I'm guessing even more people couldn't remember &/or spell his name.

The guy who thought Boxing on ESPN couldn't work and now there's boxing on ESPN & ESPN Plus after he was fired for being a crackhead.

You keep giving him credit but even though he was wrong but won't give McManus and credit for being right on the money.

And Skipper's tenure at ESPN was horrible

[Fanofreason]

Skipper is a crackhead that got canned from ESPN and couldn’t get another job until this dazn crapfest came about.

Reason Dazn is failing so bad and a joke of the business world.

[Motorcity Cobra]

I guess I'm the only one that remember ratings slipping at ESPN under Skipper when he tried to turn ESPN into a left wing political sports network. And sportscenter ratings plummeting when he started SC6 with Jermele Hill & Michael Smith. Ratings taking a nose dive when he replaced Chris Berman. Grantland and 538 being busts.

I guess so

Technically it was coke it wasn't a rock.

And boxing is a small part of ESPN & if DAZN becomes successful boxing will be a small part of DAZN. This ain't about boxing. Its about sports. You don't seem to grasp that basic angle to all this.

I know a lot of people give him credit for positive sh^t at ESPN. I think all non-combat sports are lame so idk whats going on with all that, but I know they don't keep you in high positions for two decades if you suck.

Tell me who don't got L's on their record.

I'll wait.

Perfect isn't the goal. More W's than L's is the goal. And Skipper gots more W's or he wouldn't have stayed at ESPN for two decades or gotten this DAZN gig.

Wrong. No American Major sport is giving them a US contract after the crap show they pulled in Canada with Sunday Ticket. Dazn is crap and read no further than what NFL forced them to do in canada.

Everybody has L's on their record. Don't know why you won't acknowledge his when it comes to boxing.

Where did I deny L's. Isn't the post you just quoted accepting he gots L's. I say it is.

But again to the point your major malfunction with all of this seems to be boxing oriented, but you keep ignoring this is a sports platform that happens to have boxing not a boxing platform that happens to have other sports & intends to have bigger sports. Thats where you are off the most with DAZN sh^t to me.

If Skipper is wrong about PBC boxing or not is like arguing if the guy running Showtime is right about HBO's standup comedy quality. Who reallllllly gives a f#ck? Why is that relevant? The Showtime guy gots bigger sh^t going on then HBO's standup quality & Skipper gots bigger sh^t going on then if PBC is sustainable.

And lets be real PBC gots a business model that even Bob Arum had to see thru discovery wut the f#ck Al was doing or trying to do before he got hip. And its not like its not debatable how successful PBC is even up til this day. I mean its not outta business like mfers been claiming it'd be since 2012/13(?) day 1 basically so thats good, but its not like this isn't a super competitive & more competitive than its been in awhile boxing universe we are living in today. And PBC as we see it today could easily be pivoted into something else or simply fold.

I mean currently we got PBC PPV's & thats something that would seem counter to early "good things" about PBC cuz plenty expected them to never do PPV's & it'd seem to be bad for your model of how boxing should be too matter of fact cuz the less people see a fight the worse it is for boxing no?

Basically you seem to be of the opinion the harder you make a fight to see the worse it is for boxings present & foreseeable future & PPV isn't good for boxing's present or future either I'd assume from your stance.

The hate is too strong. This is a smoke screen as much as it is a hate thing. DAZN doing ok, not great but ok, stocks going up and its early days. MotorCity is a massive PBC shill and the PBC aint healthy at all. Investors kicking off, billions gone, Haymon having to over pay his fighters to stop them taking good high risk fights and keep them in house where their fights generate next to nothing. Company trying to sell up, other folks interested but being very cautious, something has spooked them.

Its not all roses at the PBC so the shill has to work double hard trying to turn our attention to his pet project DAZN. Its all fun and games with Motor****ty. quite possibly the sites biggest troll? He sure gets my vote.

One thing Skipper does know, he knows what a massive duck looks like. His meeting with Wilder, Winkle and Haymon taught him what a massive duck looks like. He watched it waddle out of the room without even a haggle. Just a quack.

Exactly. Skipper said PBC won't make money and guess what they haven't. They lost almost 1B of investors money and those investors are furious now forcing Haymon to sell so they can try and recoup SOME of the hundreds of millions they lost. Forget profitable they won't even break even. The irony is loser Motorcity created a thread a couple months ago saying DAZN would fail and were on the cusp having to sell the company. Weeks after he said that guess who is the company trying to sell for pennies on the dollar.... PBC lol



Which company is on the block to be sold for pennies on the dollar? PBC is so deep in the hole and they ain't got no money left that's why all their decent fights being sent to PPV. What happened to Free boxing? Haymon being forced to sell because his investors are wiping their hands clean of the PBC mess and want out.

John Skipper will be the first to tell you he is no Boxing Expert or anything like that. A lot of the fighters that fight on DAZN he doesn't know besides Canelo and AJ the two biggest names on the Network and it is nothing wrong with that. It is Skipper job to get the rights to more popular sports on the platform in America, particularly NFL Content in America!



So "BOXING" is just what is available for DAZN at the moment so it is top Priority in America. However, that changes quickly and the budget for Boxing will go way down IF they're able to land more popular sports like NFL and NBA Content

So Yeah...Skipper Don't Know Sh#t About Boxing! However, he does know a lot about building up a Sports Network!

In tried to tell yall.
