    Oh, if only the owners of DAZN owned other companies. Maybe if they owned a music company that was about to float on the Nasdaq for up to $13bn it would make people think and stop wishing for the demise of a broadcaster because "their" fighters aren't on it. It's weird because the more money broadcasters put into boxing the better it is for the sport. To wish a new entrant to fail just as an old faithful broadcaster has left the party is just ******.

      Dazn has been in business 5 years. Has never been profitable and has $3.8 Billion in debt.

      They are going Bankrupt. With Arum ready to sell and retire, PBC and Al are going to monopolize boxing. This means all the top guys under 1 banner, with Golden Boy frozen out.
      PBC were already done poorly. With Wilder “out” and Spence’s legacy gone - who can Haymon sell? Tank Davis? Santa Cruz, Swift Garcia, Thurman, Porter, this generation has faded. When Ruiz Jr. realizes Haymon won’t push him any further he’ll probably go to DAZN. The Charlo Bros? Is Plant going to save PBC? Benavidez Jr. And his Dad want to go to DAZN.

      Wherever Ryan Garcia goes with Canelo and the gang that’s where the new gen of Hispanic Americans will follow. Vergil Ortiz?

      I’m sorry you feel a Mexican American vs African American narrative is the GBP vs Haymon for you fans to troll your race bait narratives with the “you just hate to see a successful black man” card. This isn’t 2015 or proto Schaefer Haymon.

      I think Haymon should run custodian duties at DAZN.

Everyone, I remember those that were writing PBC’s demise 3 years ago. Well they are still here, just like DAZN would. Are they struggling? They should be struggling, would they be looking for more investors? They should be looking for more investors. That’s how things should be for most who are affected by the financial pandemic.

          These are the same people who forsee DAZN not signing any big names. Well a year and half later they are/were wrong.
          the big difference is that three years ago, people were basing pbc’s demise off reporting from guys like steve kim, not a legitimate publication like the financial times

            Yes, that's why I referenced it. Talk of DAZN's death is very premature. Gloating about it is just ridiculous. I don't understand some people. PBC have had their issues but seem to have some really weird cult followers. I don't want any of them to fail.

                Any using Steve Kim as their source needs their heads checked. I know he works for boxingscene so I don’t want to get banned for calling him names. But am laughing now about this DAZN thing like I laughed 3/4 years ago when this PBC things came out, seems a lot of people don’t understand what a pandemic is, no one forsee what was happening now. So everyone is affected... You need to make cuts, find more ways of getting other revenues in. Am affected by this pandemic too and I make good money every month, but I also have to make some cut backs to make sure I don’t fall off over the next 12 months. This is what any company would do in this pandemic.

                    And after this Financial Times article just yesterday they partnered with the Kudelski Group. How do you think they evaluate DAZN?
