Comments Thread For: News: PBC-In Demand Deal, Billel Dib Update, Jacob Bonas

Your morons realize Dazn only has 80k us subscribers that are Boxing subscribers right. Most subscribe for soccer, Dazn has been a major bust.

They don't even have soccer on DAZN USA. They have at least 800k subscribers in the US. Probably a lot more than that with the Dish Network deal they've had to increase subscribers for Joshua-Ruiz.

It's not an exclusive deal. Other promoters can still distribute fights through In Demand and PBC can still sell PPVs through the Fox Sports app and the ESPN app as will be the case with the Fury-Wilder fight. The deal just guarantees that PBC does at least 4 PPV events per year. What was the average buyrate the year before DAZN launched? PPV might not be dead but it's on life support.

It's a deal nonetheless.

4 per year for 7 years. How is something that will happen for at LEAST the next 7 years, on life support? Do you even process anything before responding?

And how are you going to compare Canelo's numbers to the upcoming superstars in the making? Those were Spence's first two PPV's doing 300K+. Pac did 500K twice this year(although he is more established.) Wilder's first two did 300K+.

What is dead exactly and how? Explain more thoroughly because I'm having a hard time buying the blatantly made up nonsense you are selling.

Spence is the same age as Canelo and Wilder is older. They are not upcoming superstars. They're never going to be on the same level as Canelo. The pay per view model is in decllne. PBC + AEW combine for about 2 million buys is a sharp drop off from when Canelo was doing 2 million alone per year and the UFC was doing another 4-7 million buys per year.
