Isn't DAZN just like Netflix or similar streaming services?

I have always thought DAZN is just like any streaming service provider that needs lots of contents for their hungry subscribers. The more contents, the happier the customers are.

Which means producers don't have to have brand name recognition to produce contents.

These all-you-can eat types of businesses are sprouting everywhere. You can read all the books you want, for example, by paying monthly or yearly subscriptions. You can also listen to every type music, you name it.

There are other, albeit smaller, promoters like Cotto promotions, Dibella, TMT, probably even UFC producers, which are far more experienced, can produce boxing contents for boxing fans.

the problem with boxing is that the promters are old school and they want to control everything. They believe if they control everything they can manueaver more money out for themselves so they are all in this CONTROL EVERYTHING OR DIE TRYING stage of their professional career.

Dazn took over, espn+ is a failure, No one likes it you have to be on espn3 one minute the next without notice the feeds cuts off and you have to be on ESPNnews then that feed cuts out then you have to be on ESPN+ channel 33 and this isnt a exaggeration either.

PBC is good but also their fights are split between 3 channels, 1 free fox, 2 paid fox sports and showtime. Which imo isnt that bad but when fights are on fox they seemed rushed and no pagentry at all which kinda kills the fights ambience it doenst feel like big fights, fox sports I like feels like an upgraded ESPN friday night figths, and showtime is showtime.

What i like about Dazn is they dont act like other fighters dont exist, they dont avoiding bringing up fighters from pbc or toprank or wherever they just talk boxing.

This is how good dazn is the only thing bad people say are "ITS ON A APP" "I DONT WANT TO WATCH BOXING ON MY PHONE" but all the real people know they are just broke motehr****ers cause if they werent they would know apps for tv too nukka.

It's because they are under strict censorship regulations being on mainstream tv.
Like Broner, for example, can't act like a lunatic on Fox, but can on Showtime.
Plus every second counts on regular tv, thus making everything scripted, no long walk on the aisle, no pageantry like you mentioned, etc.
But most fans don't mind when it's free.

Good points doe.

^^About sums up my thinking better than I could myself.

short answer is TR, PBC already have contracts with other networks to provide them boxing content. When those deals expire or those networks get out of boxing then maybe they will sell boxing content to DAZN. But right now those other promoters view DAZN as rival competition so they not going to give them boxing content at times even if it's with DAZN offering their fighters much more money then their own network is willing to pay.
