DAZN has become a regional app that caters to Mexican fans

[kafkod]

DAZN has tried to correct that with huge offers for African American fighters but these people aren’t dumb- they know the money comes with strings attached.

Yeah, to get that big DAZN money they would have to fight guys who have a chance of beating them.

Who needs that shit?

Like GGG getting $15 mil a fight to fight Steve Rolls & Szmelta (or whatever his name is) Or Farmer & Andrade bum of the month club?

Latinos/Mexican Americans make up the majority of ppv buyers for Pac, Floyd and Canelo so attracting that fan base is a necessity, but it's not like they're focusing on fighters from that background exclusively. Mexican American fans tend to be fans of boxing in general after all.

They should be more careful how they spend their money though. 100M for GGG was one of the worst sports contracts in recent years, Jacobs-Chavez was a dud and they were offering up sizable purses for Andrade-Charlo which would probably lose money if it were on ppv.

yeah and to get DAZN money golovkin is fighting rolls, this guy hes fighting next that I cant pronounce and then bring a guy over from pbc...lol

instead of fighting Andrade....who cant get a fight worth a **** to save his life on DAZN......but they got Andrade offer charlo money but they wont offer charlo money to come over and fight golovkin....LOL

[Motorcity Cobra]

like clockwork lmao.

I know you will argue that only the US matters, but DAZN also offers boxing from the
- UK
- Italy and now also
- Spain

Yes because DAZN USA is what matters here in the U.S. Nobody is watching Liam Cheeseman vs. Paddy Paddington at 12 in the afternoon but the most hardcore of hardcore fans.

The strategy for DAZN USA is becoming catering to Mexican fans.

I love it....its reality

rolls, this guy hes fighting next and bring over chenko

meanwhile Andrade begging for a fight and cant get one on his own network when there are MW names galore to fight on DAZN

DAZN will offer money to come over and fight the guy nobody watches and cant get a fight...but they wont offer charlo to come over and fight the big name golovkin

classic!

You got a source for that claim?

What's the point of offering Charlo money then it's clear Triple g is avoiding both Charlo and Andrade. You can't force Triple g to fight someone he doesn't wanna fight... You can't blame DAZN for that.

partially true, given a lot of mexicans subbed for the ruiz fight and to watch canelo, so giving them more mexican fights makes sense. However they also have Michael Hunter, Anthony Sims jr, Daniel Jacobs, Andrade, Devin Haney, Maurice Hooker, Tevin Farmer, Ammo Williams, Otha Jones etc. Didn't they just offer Charlo a fight vs Andrade? $100m? Tank Davis $5m? We've seen Shield's fight on dazn a few times, she switched over because Salita fell out with Eddie Hearn after the Miller drug fail, so she's on pbc cards now.
We also saw Regis Prograis, in the UK..but still on dazn right? Jessica Mccaskil was on a few months back.

Furthermore, Mikey Garcia only recently signed, so it was natural EH wanted him a decent fight at Welterweight..and Jessie Vargas made perfect sense (who else does he have there at a good level?). I don't think that was a case of 'targetting mexican fans' per se.

not even trying to bag DAZN here...but that list doesn't really have any needle movers there.....except haney...hes the only potential needle mover....he can be a star no doubt....I wonder if he can become one there though....

but other than that....that list isn't impressive...and Andrade is having to beg charlo to come over for a legit fight that people care about....farmer is ok but he doesn't get views...hes still an undercard guy that they have to pair with Andrade and put youtubers on the card....
