DAZN seeks cash to help secure future

The boxing budget was never gonna sort itself out because that was the only way they could get fighters. If it sorted itself out they couldn't get fighters and the quality of fights would greatly diminish. They put themselves in a never ending cycle. Mikey for $7 mil, not even signed to the network. Chavez Jr for $7 mil not even signed to the network. All Canelo opponents want Danny Jacob's money. He was having problems getting fights. Let's not forget it was 8 weeks to go before cinco de mayo when boxing shut down and they still hadn't announced his next fight. Sure now they can say it was Saunders but nothin was official with 8 weeks to go and the clock ticking.Maybe, and eventually the boxing budget was going to sort itself out one way or another. But the people that think boxing is the reason DAZN is in a tough situation or the reason they will fail is wrong. Rights to major sports leagues cost much more than what they are paying for boxing. They used boxing to step foot in the American market.
DAZN winning rights to say the Sunday Ticket or NBA rights was always going to be tough as other companies such as Amazon could have easily outbid them.Comment
