Comments Thread For: What's Happening With DAZN? - Part One

[OctoberRed]

Yea with Showtime it ****** this past year really bad, PBC had there best fights on Fox an I don't see that being fixed anytime soon. The best fights this past year were on the three other platforms DAZN, ESPN, an FOX, so we'll see what happens the next 2 years with DAZN. All I kno is whoever is crying about whichever network was better had the better fights jus shut up an appreciate the sport an the fights being made

I expect that to change, because FOX is losing a lot of money with their PPVs. Everyone involved confirms that Wilder-Ortiz 2 PPV lost millions, over 10.

With Wilder and Fury guaranteed 30 million each. They better hope that PPV does the millions of buys Arum keeps predicting.

Considering SHO is de facto out of boxing, is there still an incentive for CBS (also owes CBS) to continue owning BoxingScene?

LOL!

Showtime still has TWO MORE YEARS on their PBC deal. If they get out, it won't be until late next year.

What does CBS and Showtime having boxing have to do with the other?

CBS owns like 30 websites out there, from comics to video games, to CNET, to sports sites. BoxingScene is one more web property in their portfolio. As long as an asset makes money, what else would they care about?

Motorcity Clown you reading this???? Sergey Deverechenko was paid 5.2 million dollars to fight Triple g when Canelo was offering him 5.5 million to fight him... So who ducked who???
Sergey took a pay cut in order to avoid Canelo. Don't ever argue with me over things you know nothing about you clown!

Told you Eddie sold these people a dream that he was gonna sign all these PBC fighters if they gave him the money. HBO dropping boxing saved DAZN. They would probably be out of business by now if that hadn't happened. What was their plan if HBO hadn't gotten out of boxing? Their plan was to sign a lot of PBC fighters. That's it. No plan b.

I told you Sergey took less money to fight Triple g. So who ducked who you clown??? Love proving you wrong!

DAZN paying their fighters what they deserve for risking their life. Arum and the rest are greedy a55h0l35 that want to keep 99.9% of the earnings and distribute the remainder on everyone else!!! Hope DAZN becomes the power house of combat sports. Also hope they do not go crazy with their fees either. Bringing American managers to DAZN would mean bringing the greed and corruption that already exists in the nasty American boxing market!! DAZN DO NOT DO IT!!!

This Hauser guy is a joke. Countless "sources".

DAZN is doing fine. It takes time to transform a landscape. When DAZN first launched people literally didnt know what it was or how to use it. Fast forward a few years and DAZN is basically a household name although clearly not on par with ESPN. A major difference between ESPN and DAZN is that DAZN is GLOBAL while ESPN is primarily national.

DAZN is going to continue to grow and invade. Great platform
