Is DAZN destroying boxing?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Does DAZN even have any freaking plan B, C, D, E or what?
They can't move on without Canelo vs Golovkin trilogy?

Skipper is not the right man for the job. DAZN needs someone that value money, not just give it away like it's nothing.

It isn't DAZN's fault. They are entering a market that has already been polluted by the twin cancers of Bob Arum and Al Haymon. There isn't much that they can do to make things right.

DAZN needs to find a way to market and promote their fights outside of boxing circles before anyone can criticize PBC or Top Rank (who have both done their due diligence in bringing boxing back to the forefront with both FOX and ESPN).

With DAZN being a streaming service, they should be having fighter profiles, countdown shows, training camp shows GALORE on their youtube channel. They can't even get that right! They literally have no other way to market and promote...yet they are barely putting in enough effort to get by.

DAZN = the underground.

How anyone thinks new stars can emerge on DAZN is just baffling.

After network TV stopped broadcasting fights the popularity of boxing fell of a cliff.

Good point doe.
DAZN needs to fire this Skipper fella.
They need someone with innovative, strategizing spirit.
Not just someone who throws away money.
Throwing away money is too damn easy, especially if you have freedom to do so.
Anybody can do it.

Who do you have in mind brah?

First off, they need to stop offering multi-fight deals.
It's not only ****** but inappropriate in boxing.
Meaning, anything can happen in a sport like this.
Look what happened to Joshua.
Multi-fight deals connotes meaningless showcase fights for whoever you sign in.
Let fighters stay where they choose to stay, become free agents, what have you.
Offer deals on a fight by fight basis.
Send offers to Charlo for Golovkin or Andrade for a start, for example.
If Charlo declines, then we know who is ducking who.

Not all fighters object to it. You must mean certain fighters should not be forced to sign such deals if they only want certain fights.

[Boxing Goat]

Dazn is doing great by boxing and fighters but terrible for themselves. They have every right to force marketable fights to sell subs. That's what this is all about for fks sake.

And people think it's going to gain popularity on an app no one knows about?!?!?

- -I like Kathy Duva as a small promoter, but she and Kov blew it by not demanding equity in the first Son of Gollum fight that left them paupers in the rematch.

Now they're being greedy...can't fix ******!

Yeah that was incredibly ******,,
