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

[Oldskoolg]

39 comments already. I predict this one goes well over 100 comments because of how emotional the british get regarding dazn....all because of Eddie hearn’s involvement. This article, however, basically said that the current direction of dazn is unsustainable....and Hauswr was right to point out that boxing is cheap for ESPN and FOX while insanely expensive for dazn because dazn USA doesn’t have football, basketball, baseball, or college football or basketball, doesn’t have hockey, doesn’t have nascar, doesn’t have grand slam tennis....all of this you can find on FOX and ESPN to at least some capacity. This may be hard to swallow for the English (moreso than the Scottish and the Welsh) who want Eddie Hearn to control American boxing due to this unhealthy obsession the English have with “beating” Americans to the point of collective obsessive psychosis, but dazn won’t last on its current trajectory. You can get mad all you want and spin as much xo propaganda as you can to try and online shame Americans who don’t buy into Eddie Hearn but Eddie Hearn is the reason dazn wasn’t accepted by a large percentage of boxing fans in the USA and in turn never broke into the average sports fan market. Blame the arrogance of Eddie Hearn who didn’t and maybe still doesn’t understand that he is a foreigner in the USA

They are putting on the fights people want to watch. I know they have to impact the market in over paying so they can continue to attract customers but I hope they don't bankrupt before they stabilize some more.

... "Boxing is an excellent entry point for us into the United States," Skipper explains, "because it's not tied up by the major media companies. We will be, relative to live events, overwhelmingly a fight channel throughout most of 2020 because there aren’t a lot of other available rights that come up. The major sports rights begin to come up in 2021, and we’ll be a player in trying to acquire some of those packages.” (...)

... of course DAZN is after the "major sports" in the U.S.

... but, until 2021, DAZN will have to support another "financial hemorrhage" in 2020...

(...) This article, however, basically said that the current direction of dazn is unsustainable....(...)

... You (basically) have to learn to read... (just see above!)...

That's because they have highlights of their fights on there pretty quickly after they happen, and sometimes the entire fight.

Not a good strategy for the long run, because I know people who don't pay and just catch the aftermath on their Youtube.

That's why WWE started cutting back on their Youtube post-event content, as too many people were dropping from subbing for the WWE Network and just watching free highlights on social media. And a strange fact is India is the top country among the WWE's huge social media numbers. Who knows what the top country is for DAZN? UK I would reckon, since they don't have DAZN there.

If you look at the number of suscribers to sky sports, ifl tv etc that will tell you pretty quickly that the dazn suscribers are overwhelmingly british.

what people here fail to realise is dazn entered boxing as soon as sports betting was legalised.
they're here to fix fights and profit heavily...and they already have

you can guess which one it was

actually ill make it all easy for you
these are timestamped





you dont just say this **** unless you're trying to let the public know what's really up

you could of course watch the AJ vs ruiz 1 fight and observe Sam Watson's face post-fight...the guy looked beyond annoyed, almost defeated..

they put in all that effort fixing Wilder vs Fury...only for dazn/matchroom to go a totally different type of direction.
result...wilder cant sell out ****, joshua can.


Also thomas hauser has zero credibility. he doesnt have inside knowledge of how dazn operate, it's a privately owned company. furthermore he used to write anti al haymon articles...al haymon paid him off. he isnt credible.

No they can't stand by that pledge. Why would fighters like Mikey Garcia go there for market rate? You have to pay him $7 mil. And that's another $10 mil card. It's a good card but nowhere near a $10 mil card. People were claiming PBC was overpaying guys at $2 mil a fight. They never had a $10 mil card. Those type of cards are PPV.

Bro....the same people who are praying dazn succeeds are the same people who were doomsaying PBC left and right. You inevitably have to ask WHY the difference....especially while at the time PBC was totally free for the consumer, which was far cheaper than an app. The truth is they wanted it to fail because a black American has at the helm, the same people who wanted “til this day” want him to fail especially because they see him as the main competition for a white English promoter in the USA.
We know what this is all about, this is the USA, where various groups have been calling out racism for centuries rather than pretending it doesn’t exist to keep it going like in another country that needs no mentioning....particularly in the Brexit era....

dazn's youtube channel is very limited for us brits. ive clicked on content posted here before and it won't play for me.

[Oldskoolg]

These people don't even get DAZN. That's what trips me out about these conversations. They don't live in America or any country that gets DAZN.

That’s the most telling but of truth of it all, the people who are ant you to get dazn the most are in the uk and don’t have access to dazn themselves . They get the same fights through sky sports. So the question is why do they want it to succeed so badly in the USA. They NEVER talk about it specifically in Italy, Austria, Japan, Canada, Spain etc etc .....they are almost 100% unified in their militancy about it succeeding in the USA....and they never say why, they will never admit to why, and they for damn sure won’t admit why they hate haymon so much....not Arum....HAYMON

That coincided with the forum being taken over by CBS, all anti-Hearn and DAZN since then
