Not a good look when you're attempting to get sports rights for other leagues. You're showing you can't compete with the big boys

Hearn is right. Some promoters may not survive. He better go crawling back to Sky and ask for an extension

The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic has forced one of the most prominent companies in boxing to take cost-cutting measures. According to a Sports Business Daily report posted to its website Tuesday, DAZN has begun informing sports leagues with which it has contracts that it won't pay rights fees for events that have been postponed or other content that hasn't been provided due to the COVID-19 crisis. The report stated that DAZN is believed to be the first media company involved in such deals to start withholding rights fees for postponed events.

You back? You pioneered the quarantine after Wilder got his ass kicked! Get lost again!

Lol. A leave of absence due to a world epidemic is not “laying off.” The sports world isn’t the banking world. If sports are on halt, there’s no need to pay employees whom should be at home anyways.

Nice poke. You trying to get LDBc topics that DAZN is failing because of an epidemic affecting all sports?

Lawyers gonna have a field day with this one

Lol. Defaulting means you can’t pay because you don’t have the funds to do so. DAZN said it doesn’t want to pay for something not used, not that DAZN doesn’t have the loot.

I thought you were smarter than this? Btw, how much is Wilder’s next costume gonna weigh?

[DaNeutral.]

Lol this is what it took to drag your fat ass out of hiding?

Who are those people you are quoting? Never heard of them. I could get my sister to tweet some stuff about DAZN if it helps keep you busy.

I reckon you like corona if it feels it may hurt DAZN. You sad sad individual.

No just Da Zone but boxing in whole will have to reshape the whole foundation if it wants to survive. One major Belt for each weight class and one interim for number 1 contender . PPVs cut down to original 39.99 for super big fights . No more bs mixed sport matches , Floyd going to be kicking himself for not rematch Manny after he won the WBA title . That fight could of happened last fall/winter and it would’ve been the last blockbuster fight at 89.99 . Even the other marinated fights lost Spence/TC , DW/AJ , AJ/Fury in England 100 k people gone with the Coronavirus!

This is a coronavirus issue not a DAZN issue but you’re too ****** to know that.

MCC crawled out of his sewer after being embarrassed by PBC boxing to pretend that DAZN is going bankrupt. Isn’t that great?

Subscribers are complaining they can't get a refund since DAZN isn't showing any live Sports. Not sure about everybody else but I didn't sign up to watch months of fight replays.
