DAZN's problem: They pay out PPV-caliber purses but don't earn PPV revenue

[OnePunch]

For the sake of argument let's say that Haymon is indeed paying Wilder $20 million and losing money while he "subdidizes" his rise to bankable PPV player.

The possibility of recouping that money with one successful PPV is always going to be there.

How is DAZN hoping to recover all the money that they're spending? Relying on subscriptions alone seems farfetched.

to recoup a $20 million loss it would have to be one heck of a PPV for Haymons end to reach those numbers.....

A PPV with Fury and another one with Joshua will leave their coffers overflowing I think.

What is DAZN hoping that their big payoff is going to be?

hard to say. Their business model doesnt really allow for a "big payoff". Slow, steady growth is the only thing I can see working for them. And of course they need to try and get Sunday Ticket, or soccer, or other sports to help drive subs.......

Getting the NFL would be their only chance.

Bingo. This mentality about "big payoff" is understandable, given it's controlled boxing economics for so long.

But other sports don't operate like that. The NFL doesn't charge PPV for the Superbowl. The barrier for entry is low, and they get a lot of viewers, who in turn watch the entire season. This is what the subscriber model is all about, and it leads to steady growth.

and based on the cost of events like Wilder-Breazeale and Wilder-Ortiz 2, he loses money even on PPV.

Unless of course all the bragging about Wilder getting $20 million for each of those fights was nonsense.......

fox paid the guarantees. try again. pbc didnt lose a dime.

Why would Fox pay the guarantees for a Showtime fight?

if Fox ate a $20 million loss on the Ortiz PPV, then they must be pleased as punch with this new venture. Cant wait to see the guarantees for the Fury fight lol.

But I dont believe they did. Regardless of what you say.
