Pbc + dazn

[N/A]

I'm pretty confused now because I thought PBC wasn't tied down to a single distributor, that's why they're on Showtime and Fox... I thought.

PBC sold two packages. A primary package to Fox and a secondary package to Showtime. Fox and Showtime are guaranteed until their deals expire that PBC won't create additional packages.

So you will disappear again when the Joshua-Ruiz winner is bumped to #1 in a couple of weeks?

If the Joshua-Ruiz winner becomes #1, good for them. They'll deserve it.

But all the haters who claimed Wilder only fights bums will have to eat crow forever that for a moment in time, he was the #1 fighter on the planet.

Can someone explain to me why fans are happy to play along with the broadcastor/promoter war?

Instead of always talking **** about one of them shouldn't we be pushing for PBC to be on DAZN there by giving us all the best names in boxing on an affordable platform? TR and ESPN would have to follow shortly I'd imagine. DAZN would become the streaming front for all the boxing channels.

ESPN, Fox, Showtime, they can still charge their 75 bucks a PPV for old'uns who won't stream. For us internet folk we ought to get the same fights cheaper as per the cheaper cost of streaming vs cable distribution.

I've not been able to work this into a convo so I made a thread. Not trying to start another PBC vs DAZN war, I really want to push the other direction.

Haymon, Hearn, De La Hoya, on one platform, for 20 bucks a month....goddamn steal. Warren/Arum would be coming along shortly and then who's left? Duva and Rybinski and such? They're types who tag onto bigger shows any damn way.

Anyway, one of y'all who stays on top of the broadcastor/promoter news explain this **** to me. Why can't PBC be on DAZN?

It’s a race thing bruh!

I promised Deontay Wilder would become the #1 heavyweight in the world and that I'd return once he had.

When he reached #1 on Boxrec, I signed back into the site.

Omg your using boxrec ratings? Smh. The same boxrec who has Miguel Berchelt #6 in the world ?

Barring some sort of bogus decision win, the Boxrec computers are fairly accurate in determining who has proven themselves at which level. I don't care about P4P ratings, but if Berchelt is #6, good for him. He's beaten a lot of quality fighters.

Fanboys hate Boxrec because it often exposes their favorite fighter as a fraud.

DAZN is a UK business that thought, with flashing a few dollars, they could show up and take over American sports.

Let's be real with what's being argued here

I hate to burst your bubble but boxrec has Canelo as #1 LB for LB with Crawford #2 and Deontay #10, four spots below Berchelt. So I guess you hats what’s what you mean by accurate. Berchelt above Wilder

I'm not sure why that should be a barrier to what the TS is suggesting. The fact that PBC may be tied to Fox (which is incidentally controlled by the Murdochs who are Australian) and SHO for a few years means that such a collaboration is unlikely in the short term, but there's no reason why not in the future. Money's international, man, major companies own assets all over the globe - **** the Chinese 'enemy' own something like $150 bil of US assets.

That said there's definitely a degree of pushback from the US boxing establishment, and it ain't a hard sell given the deep seated historical mistrust many US citizens feel towards the UK... I've said for a long time that DAZN would have been far better putting an American at the helm of their US arm.

Whichever way it goes some form of streaming service is here to stay and will probably gain an increasing share of all sports markets over the forthcoming years. DAZN have tried to get ahead of the curve in the US but only time will tell if they'll be successful. You're absolutely correct that there will be huge resistance from US competitors.

DAZN about to get cracking in 2020!

[saintpat]

Dazn USA will live or die on getting NFL, NBA, MLB and major college conference contracts. If they don’t crack those markets, they won’t be around on boxing alone.

Boxing was just a ‘sink in some money and try to get a foothold’ and so far I don’t think they’ve succeeded. And it’s a good investment because they can sell rights to those fights to other platforms (TV in particular) outside the country to recoup some of their losses, but they aren’t making enough of a dent to be a part of the sports landscape in America and cannot do it on boxing alone.
