Comments Thread For: Joshua-Ruiz Rematch DAZN's Most-Streamed Event Of 2019

[Robbie Barrett]

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.

No Robbie Barrett doesn't want to conclude that. I want to point out that when discussing how much DAZN spends on boxing worldwide subs should be taken in to account not just the US. Because other countries are watching these events.

There were numbers widely reported for worldwide somewhere online on news channels (but no US break down)

Joshua in Suadi hurt US numbers due to time and attendance was the same as US so if anything it could have been bigger viewr wise if NYC say,

What is does show is Joshua is a draw to beat EFL matches in Europe is significant.

What I notice is KSI and Logan Paul in the Top 5.. meaning they were watched more then most of Canelo and AJs fights.. and nearly ALL of boxing in general.

That's not good.

Canelo being #4 and #10 is not a good sign. With the money you're paying him, he has to be #1 and #2.

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.

Those are good/great numbers for the boxing match. The fact that it beat the football matches with those numbers is surprising to me. I would have expected the EFL numbers to be well over 2.5M.

[The Big Dunn]

I guess its great that the most watched event on dazn was a boxing match. Without any numbers, how can we compare this to viewing numbers for other streaming services to get a real sense of how successful the event was?

Canelo is not a worldwide star, and and he ducked the biggest fight available to him, which was the GGG rematch. DAZN are currently paying him way more than he is worth to them.

It must have sold way more than PBC shill Coppinger reported to beat the EUFA final.

I think the Champions League numbers are only for Canada and Japan. Theyve got the rights for Champions League in Germany from next season, so theyll be going a lot higher then.

It's not a direct head to head comparison, because DAZN stream Matchroom events in more European countries than the EUFA Champions League matches, but it still must have done great numbers to beat them all, including the final.
