But people keep claiming worldwide subs/viewers don't matter only the US when it comes to boxing. This list proves them wrong. Boxing is a sport watched worldwide.

Dazn is a flop. They now want to put the price up to 50 dollars a month to save them.

No they dont ...eddie hearn said it as a passing comment as subscribing yearly is more value for money, rather than pay monthly...he said it in relation to how many subscribers/views they are getting and how successful they've been. The context was getting all fighters as much exposure as possible all through the year, not just the big fights.

Absolute desperation from you guys and I dont understand why.

No they dont. That was a comment by Hearn, taken completely out of context, and blown out of proportion by the haters

Without any context to how many views each broadcast received, I don't think anything can be garnered from this list. Robbie Barrett seems to want to conclude that this means DAZN and boxing is a success. Can that be done without knowing the actually number of streams? Further, I'd like to think that Joshua Ruiz being in Saudi Arabia had a lot to do with the number of streams, given they both have a large following who were unable to see the fight otherwise. I'm not saying they are a flop. I'm just saying the jury is still out until the number of streams is released as it gives an indication of the number of subscribers.

I knew AJ/Ruiz 2 was a big fight, but I would never have even dreamed it would be watched by more viewers than the Champions League Final on any network screening both!

This is fantastic news for boxing everywhere, including the US.

Eyeballs are eyeballs, wherever they are, and money is money, wherever it comes from!

Coppinger said at the time it had around 1.8million views. With Hauser saying they paid $4mil for it, at least its one fight we know they didnt lose money on, lol.
