    Serious question. How is DAZN even profitable when millions don't even know about it?

    So I was sittin on my porch yesterday with some of the homies sippin on a 40, smoking a fat blunt and playing dominoes, when my grandpa came to visit.


    "what up homies! How yall little motha fkkas been livin???"

    "Get me a 40 up out of that ice box and slide me some of them dominoes motha fkkas"

    So while sitting down with us for awhile, I brought up what fights he's been keeping up with.

    He said he hasn't been keeping up with any of them lately.

    I asked why and asked if he had DAZN and he replied "what the fkk is that shyt??????"

    I said it's a app where and that's when he stopped me mid sentence and asked "hold up motha fkka........... what the fkk is an app?????"

    And the entire time when I'm explaining, I'm thinking to myself "damn...."

    Just makes you wonder how many people don't even know this app exists.

    Canelo, AJ and GGG being kept hostage on a obscure app that no one gives a flying fkk about.

        Their investors must be pulling their hair out.

              You kinda got it wrong here. While DAZN is drowning in obscurity, it’s the big contracts of Canelo, AJ and ggg that’s keeping them there.

                  DAZN is deep in the Red obviously but with these APPS investors build them up to cash out on them and sell them off to a bigger Corporation for Billions eventually and the same will happen with DAZN most likely

                  I always joked that eventually they will sell off to Disney/ESPN and become ESPN+ International or some sh^t

                    I personally don't know how DAZN in the US will be sustainable when the main Sport on the app is a "niche" Sport in the US. Without licenses with NBA, NFL, MLB they're literally on life support.

                    How many of your casual "Weekend Warrior" fight fans have collectively watched Canelo's fights since being on DAZN much less known about them? DAZN doesn't do a fraction of the marketing HBO did for Boxing with the everyday programming (to non Boxing fans) which DAZN will just never have.
