Get ready for another DAZN price hike

[Eff Pandas]

Worst case, I can see DAZN charging a nominal fee for PPV fights.

Yea I think this could be the way they go myself. I don't think they wanna raise there price too high & for sure too quickly & they just bumped it already without being in the US for one full year yet.

I mean basically DAZN is a streaming network with a monthly subscriber fee not unlike ESPN, Showtime or HBO were/are broadcast networks with a monthly subscriber fee. ESPN, Showtime & HBO all did or still do big PPV fights that aren't a part of their regular sub services. Why couldn't DAZN do that? I suspect they could.

Kinda effs up their "PPV is Dead" & "Blow Up PPV" ad slogans, but money is more important than ad slogans. Plus if they get on their game enough no one is gonna remember that whole angle 2 years from now except the people who were here at the beginning which is basically just combat sports fans with their main US offerings being Boxing & Bellator.

GGG is nothing without Canelo.

thats the truth

Eddie's deal is only guaranteed for 3 years. And they may have an out clause on that because I haven't seen him sign a fighter to any deal longer than 3-4 fights.

At some point it becomes cheaper to buy out Canelo's contract than it does to continue streaming his fights.

All the young guys are on longer contracts, those are his real Matchroom USA fighters.

Yup she's really mad... this up there with the thread he made 2 months ago lying saying DAZN is going to sell the company because they failing so bad...the irony weeks after he did that guess what company is actually being reported as on the block to be sold...you guessed it PBC...Not DAZN LMAO

I like threads like this. Phenom aka Fannon International and the rest of the PBC shills will creep in just like an LDBC regular show. They love Hearn.

I mean can you blame MCC for all this DAZN hate once you know all the bs he's dealing with at home cuz of this mfer seeing his mom?

You used a mom joke in my last DAZN these.

D- for originality. The only reason it isn't a fail is because you used a different gif

[Thuglife Nelo]

thats the truth

If Canelo were to fight Kovalev, even if its a catch as Ward did moving to 175, would all truths about GGG since 2011 for 154-168 was merely bull Shet from the Team GGG? What a waste of talent waiting for Canelo and suckering fans that Canelo had to be his nemesis

[Motorcity Cobra]

"Ya'll said" huh? What exactly did I say?

Like I made that thread asking why did Arum give up on Ruiz and you was one of the first who said he didn't and pivoted the blame to Ruiz. Then Ruiz comes out & said Arum gave up on him.

Such as? If you say Haney imma need to see something showing his terms other than saying a multi million dollar co promotion.

Fighters like Otha Jones are signed to Matchroom meaning they aren't exclusive to DAZN. I'm talking fighters like Vargas, Miller , Andrade, Farmer who signed with Eddie to be exclusive to DAZN

Canelo's deal ain't THAT big to have to worry about buying it out. And if they do fail Canelo would likely be a thing of some value to the buyer so you aren't gonna buy him out of his deal. And if they go under legit then does it gonna matter to buy him out.

So far I think DAZN has about 1.465B+ bookmarked for boxing over the next 8 years. Allegedly 1B to Eddie over 8yrs. Canelo gots $365M over the next 5yrs. And GGG gots $100M over the next 3yrs. Idk how much GBP, WBSS & GGG promotions is bookmarked for so I won't speculate.

But that basically breaks down to $224M for the next 3 years.

All the major sports cost more than that per year to acquire the rights to (think its up to billions per year for the NFL). Boxing is a small player in the business of DAZN succeeding or failing & if they aren't bankrolled to handle some L's in boxing then they won't even be able to get their foot in the water of the real sports. Canelo's contract is a pimple on DAZN's ass of expenses.
