    NFL is buying the platform to move Sunday Ticket to it, as well as a rebrand of the platform.

    Dazn will be claiming bankruptcy and all fighters and leagues under contract, those contracts will be dissolved.

    NFL is only buying the actually platform and the new server farm Dazn created. This keeps Sunday ticket in house.

    Interesting twist: Hearn and Oscar also may be claiming bankruptcy as they are on the hook for their fighters guarantees in the Dazn contract. The bankruptcy will only remove Dazn liability off of the contracts for Canelo, GGG etc. but the promoters are still liable for those guaranteed paydays.
    C'mon man, source? smh

    Sems deeply improbable given DAZNs major sports distribution contacts outside the US, in fact it makes very little sense at all. I'm guessing that this some kinda trolling but that maybe you hadn't understood the DAZN is a global player rather that justa US one.

    If you'd just claimed they were filing for bankruptcy or going into receivership it would have been more plausible, but bought out by the NFL?

      huh who would have ever thought that paying GGG $20-30 million to fight steve rolls could back fire and not be profitable.
      They threw around money like ****ing crazy. Just because it's an app doesn't mean people don't need to be paid lmfao.

              You seem to be consistent like Killamaine ever since early 2019... be it DAZN want-to-be-faillure threads or LDBC, you guys would always play the part to defend their agendas.

              The only group of internet people whom want DAZN to fail or think it would fail are led by the LDBC. Just like Motorcity Cobra troll accounts or HitmanTommy or Those classic MusaWorld alts about Mexican fighters not selling all show consistency.

              Let’s play the part. Boxing was shut down indefinitely for 2 months. Assume the world and its consumers will be conviced that covid-19 has dropped or will continue to drop while sales start to gain stability again, why would huge companies just fold their cards when pro consultancy for all industries suggest re-emergence after 3 months? lol.

              In other words, assume DAZN lost subs just like everyone else, companies will need to rehire and fulfill those whom were let go. Meaning people will be consumers again... this obvious common sense would tell you that companies have insurances or preparation for the worst.

                If dazn was in such financial difficulty a few want them to be in (I’m still unclear why as they appear to be offering best value for money to me) - why would they still be investing in new product. Business works in a simple way, in a position of “survival” you save as much cash as possible , the phrase “cash is king” I’m sure many have heard of.


                These sort of extra investments, however small, indicate the issues are being greatly exaggerated and/or being led by those with alternative motives

                  DAZN is good for the fans, don’t have to empty your wallet for quality fights!

                  Let’s all hope they don’t go under, more people need to keep exposing the conspirators in this hoax virus and now this Psyop to instigate either a race war or civil war so martial law can be enacted, might be too late!

                    Very sad.
                    We're now left with PBC and its inactive, showcase fighters.
                    This is what these PBC fanboys want.

                      I read the contracts. I own many companies. And we do most of the back door negotiations on business deals. NO NDA was asked to be signed on this one.

                      I broke PBC to Fox a year before it happened as almost every league pays my agency to be point man on contract negotiations
