DAZN is great in the short term for fans and fighters but it is bad for even the medium and long term because its a business model that can not work.
There are just not enough fight fans out there to pay these purses and have a sustainable product. The realistic market of fight fans willing to pay is 2.5 million as this is the number that Canelo did on HBO against Kirkland which is the highest number in the last 13 years. This is again is HBO so how many of these viewers subscribe only because of boxing and how many watch boxing because it was on when they get it for GoT.
There is just not this secret fan base of fans that refuse to pay 80 for a fight but will pay 20. If you will pay 20 you will pay 80.
