Is Whyte vs Rivas on DAZN then or what?

[champion4ever]

What's on the 18th?

It's a Golden Boy Promotions Thursday Night card at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA. It can be seen on DAZN as well as their Facebook Watch via the Golden Boy Fight Night Page. The Main Event is Tureano Johnson vs. Jason Quigley

Doesn't Sky & DAZN have some sorta agreement?

Has any Sky fight of note been on any other US platform besides DAZN since DAZN came on the scene?

Any fight on Sky Box Office is open to bid for any US broadcaster. If it is the same as Joshua's deal, then DAZN has first and last refusal but Sky Box Office fights don't automatically end up on DAZN.

So its probably a first refusal deal? Cuz I recall something with DAZN & Sky being agreed to early on. And that would make sense cuz it don't seem like many Sky fights don't end up not on DAZN.

Good recall on that Whyte vs Chisora II fight Mammoth. Any others you remember?

It's only the case with Sky PPV fights, of which there haven't been too many in the last year.

But you're correct, non-PPV fights on Sky automatically go to DAZN.

Damnnn, why in the world would dazn NOT pick this card up? Its argueably the 3rd best card of the year they could show!

Jesus, People think Whyte is a draw when DAZN keeps passing on showing his fights?

If they don't pick this up, it will be the second time that DAZN chooses to show NOTHING instead of Dillian Whyte.

[Justintimothyko]

I think this card IS on DAZN...I looked up the DAZN fight schedule on Google, n it lists allen-price, which is on this card.

He's a draw in the UK and completely unknown in the US.

Joshua/Povetkin
Usyk/Bellew
Whyte/Chisora 2
Joshua/Ruiz

Those are the four Sky Box office fights I can think of off the top of my head right now.

When Whyte/Chisora II was announced there was DAZN logos



I remember Whyte said he asked Hearn if he was signed to DAZN. Hearn said no. Whyte then asked why were those DAZN logos everywhere and told Eddie to put the fight up for bid & Showtime won. Eddie wasn't going up put the fight up for bid and just put it on DAZN

So all those fights above I named could also have been put up for bid at the insistence of the fighter or manager of the fighter. Joshua v. Ruiz II could also be put up for bid. And if I were AJ I'd insist it be put up for bid because if he loses he may not ever come close to making the kind of money he's going to make in the rematch. And nowhere near the $50 mil Wilder offered him which he turned down for Eddie's deal with DAZN.

With these Sky Box Office fights, broadcast rights in the US are up for grabs, with DAZN having the rights to match the highest offer.

Seems like these "bids" are super last minute. If I remember correctly, the announcement that Showtime would show Whyte/Chisora II happened 4-5 days before the fight.

So we might have to sit back and wait.

Joshua/Povetkin & Usyk/Bellew weren't last minute pick ups by DAZN. They were said to be on DAZN from the beginning.
