An exclusive output PPV deal with In Demand.
If you want to be on PPV and you're not with PBC you gotta find another way to get distributed into over 60 million homes.
I like how they touch on some points I've been saying from Day 1 when it comes to DAZN. Ease of access & that PPV's are an event. Just like the Superbowl. People enjoy getting together watching big fights!!!
Showtime ain't dead
But keep listening to Rick Glaser if you want to. People with skin in the game see that PPV is alive and well
In Demand, owned by Comcast, Charter Communications and Cox Communications, has reached multi-event distribution deals with Premier Boxing Champions and All Elite Wrestling that will provide at least eight PPV events for its cable affiliates, representing more than 60 million subscribers

“PPV is still available in millions of homes, and it's still a convenient and easy way to order events,” Khan said. “In Demand has a great history in delivering big PPV events, and we’ve been able to connect with our fans already through events on In Demand.”
“Boxing has a long and successful history with the PPV platform … fighters have long known that becoming a ‘pay-per-view attraction’ is the ultimate achievement in terms of notoriety and earning potential,” Binkow said. “Additionally, fight fans are accustomed to gathering friends and family for a communal viewing party when a big fight comes around on PPV.”

Showtime, which distributed a Manny Pacquiao-Adrien Broner fight in February, will look to distribute two to four PPV events in 2020, according to president of sports and entertainment programming Stephen Espinoza.
“It’s undeniable that the market is going through a lot of changes spurred in large part by technology, but proclaiming the end of PPV is premature to say the least,” he said. “The best strategy for a content owner is to make the content available on as many platforms as possible whenever and wherever the consumer wants it.”

Keep listening to Glaser. The people investing money still see PPV as alive and viable.
