More importantly, “Gervonta Davis is a Superstar!” -
Seems like they should open up shop in the UK since the biggest fans of DAZN are mostly from the UK despite them not having access to it. Better and More Loyal Boxing Fans in the UK as well BUT that is a much smaller marketLast edited by sicko; 11-09-2019, 12:56 PM.Comment

Champions League would be really necessary for them to launch in the UK if they can’t get any Premier League matches. I’m sure they might also get some Premier League in future though. Sky had the monopoly until BT Sport come along and now they share it, so no reason DAZN couldn’t get some Premier League dates.
Either way, DAZN would definitely need some Football to work in the UK. It’s not even like they can use the $100 for PPV v $100 year subscription comparsion they do in USA because a UK PPV is about £20, so it’s not like boxing fans are going to save a great deal of money in the UK.
I’d imagine Eddie’s old man might move Darts and Snooker to DAZN if it takes off.Comment

Sky Sports is going to be deeply unhappy with the move, they'll still have a pocket full of money looking to be used...
Chances that we see a Sky/ITV content deal for the UK?Comment

📺 Despite reported interest from DAZN, BT Sport have retained the UEFA Champions League UK TV rights between 2021-24. It‘d been claimed that DAZN were eyeing a move for their first UK rights, however BT saw off all competition in a deal worthy roughly £1.2billion.
