Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Furious at DAZN: It's F--ked Up How I'm Being Treated!

I don't think shak is worth the 400k either..

Ryan neither here nor there in the boxing world so what's there to like or dislike?

But Ryan can actually generate revenue with his fight by getting subs. Shakur's can't. I don't understand why DAZN doesn't want to generate subscribers for the month of July.

Not sure if the DEADZONE is going to make it in the USA. They’ve lost at least 30% of the subscriber base. Furloughs, looking for investors, reports of being on sale.....when is this Eddie Hearn takeover of American boxing supposed to happen? Did I miss it?

They're looking for cheaper options right now. Remember they dropped Bellator and said they were looking at other combat sports.

They might drop boxing all together while they focus on getting other major sports rights. Look at what's happened since March. It's like they really dont care. No press releases keeping fans informed. Ignoring fans about their subscriptions. Taking out money after people have already paused their subscriptions. Lowballing Ryan Garcia. I think they're tired of boxing to be honest

Shakur is getting $400,000 to fight a non title fight tune up. You don't think Ryan deserves at least that much? Especially since DAZN needs subscribers right now. Ryan can get at least 80,000 subs and that's over a million and a half dollars. I think you all just dont like Ryan and that's your problem.

He doesn't want that much for this tune up

if YOU think he is worth 400k, then you are free to wire him the other 200k.

Obviously Golden Boy and DAZN do NOT think he is worth 400k, or he would be getting it.......

Ryan's fight can generate at least a million and a half in revenue thru subscribers. T
That's just 80k, a low number. With all the subscriptions they've lost you don't think he can bring in at least 80k subs? These are very low numbers im using to illustrate my point.

Ryan have to become World Champion or something, he has all these high expectations and I like Ryan Garcia he has the Look and the Social Media following of a Superstar BUT he haven't done much in the ring yet. That could be GBP fault though, maybe they need to give him what he wants and put him in tough and put him in for a World Championship

Also too, I do think fighting exclusively on DAZN hurts him more than it helps him because DAZN Paid Subscription Audience is just way too Limited. His Generation are very Tech Savvy so they can find Free Links so easily so they're less likely to subscribe to DAZN just for 1 Fight

Maybe if he were employeed by the same people as Stevenson; he would get that 400K. Talk to his bum managers that have probably made a mess of the money they were throwing around like a drunk in the strip club on payday...

This kid has an over inflated sense of worth... none of the top earners have complained in the manner that he has. DAZN is in a precarious situation in which they’ve over leveraged themselves and are hemorrhaging money and subscribers since the pandemic. Most people who’ve paid for an annual subscription for boxing have not renewed, so revenue is nil. Not sure who will sign up again to see Garcia, his fan base is comprised of casuals or kids so it won’t translate to subscriber retention. He’s a better draw when you can have a live gate. DAZN will need to bring out bigger names to create a trickle effect to their B level stars

DAZN continues its downward roll! Skipper and his crew keep making serious mistakes. This includes setting high monetary expectations by overpaying some fighters, including Golovkin and some Youtube boxers, but that is the least of their problems.

As an aside, rather than offering a fixed reward to fighters like Garcia, perhaps they should offer a base minimum and sliding scale reward based on actual revenues. That would give fighters an incentive to promote the fight and more importantly have a stake in the financial health of DAZN.

Shakur Stevenson is a world champion.

Garcia has not even fought an eliminator. His best win is Fonseca, lol.

Having a world title has little to do with how many viewers boxers can attract these days. Remember the Youtube guys who got paid world-class money for displaying no skill at all in the ring. In fact, DAZN gave a real-world championship fight second billing that night.
