Comments Thread For: DAZN To Launch In More Than 200 Countries & Territories By Early May

Only a matter of time. Being in just one country isn't going to work anymore. Simple mathematics.

I don't care tbh.

I watch all fights and sporting events for free via my connect. And it never buffers.

Hold on: there’s only 195 countries in the world today. How the F$!k is 200+ countries possible? Who writes this trash??

When are the EPL rights up? Around the same time the Matchroom contract with Sky is up? I'm not sure if DAZN can outbid Sky Sports for EPL, but if they can? Then that's a game changer. They will for sure take control of boxing.

I dunno. The trend with DAZN seems to be the rights to any given country's less prominent sports.

In Canada they have rights to NFL and EPL but not NHL. They have the rights to NHL where it is less popular but likewise don't have EPL in those countries.

They seem to be going for niche sports in any given country because they can't/won't outbid the big players in the biggest sports.

I think they may get some lesser boxing rights but not the big UK fights and definitely not EPL.

Wasn't DAZN meant to be an epic failure?

Where has Motorcity Cobra disappeared to? He was telling us DAZN was going out of business.

Well, DAZN UK should get all of Matchroom's cards from stateside and in the UK. So they will have those rights for sure.

Yeah, right now they are going after the niche sports in countries like USA/Canada/etc. But in Brazil and Japan I think they have some of the top sports rights I believe....could be wrong though.
