DAZN bends the knee to UFC

[Motorcity Cobra]

Floyd would never.

UFC boss Dana White has been vocal about Canelo-Kovalev not going up directly against Diaz-Masvidal on Saturday. DAZN apparently agrees with him. I'm told that Canelo-Kovalev won't start until after the Diaz-Masvidal is over. Win-win for crossover fans.

A day before the fight and ticket prices are dropping and it's not a sellout. This app is killing fighters exposure. Look at Canelo's Grand Arrival. It looks sparse compared to his previous ones.

Boxing’s biggest superstar @Canelo makes his grand arrival at @MGMGrand as he looks to create history by becoming a four weight world champion against 175lb king @KrusherKovalev in Vegas this Saturday night.

This guy from YouTube who is there just said the weigh in crowd looks a lot less than normal.

I'm just a hater so don't listen to me

This place is dead, few fans and less enthusiasm pic.twitter.com/P7A7JB8XFc

Kind of pathetic, but it's not like DAZN would have won the ratings battle anyway.


and it's not like they'll post the rantings anyways lol.

That’s bs. ESP since the ufc main event starts late

Lmao ***** said "bend the knee" Damn in one year i cant even think of GOT without cringing

[satiev1]

Actually I prefer that.

[1hourRun]

Like Nick Diaz is some kind of ATG? But then again MMA sucks so maybe that dude is the GOAT. Masvidal is some homeless backyard streetfighter right?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Just be happy They were sensible enough to work it out so that people can watch both. Masvidal vs Diaz was announced first, so it's right that DAZN and Golden Boy adjusted to them.
Healthy situation.

Yea ok bro.

[paulf]

Sensible programming choice that benefits all parties = bend the knee.

[A.K]

Damn they gonna fight all late then cause ufc main events happen later then boxing ones.

What does John Snow think about this knee bending? Does he know nothing, or something?
