Comments Thread For: DAZN To Launch In 200-Plus Markets 12/1; To Offer Garcia-Campbell In UK 12/5

Be interesting to see what sort of content they get in the first 12 months in the UK.

Garcia v Campbell is a good start. I wonder whether Matchroom will jump from Sky straight away or keep their options open and wait until the DAZN subscribers reaches a certain threshold.

Matchroom and Sky’s contract is up for renewal next year, so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Money talks, if DAZN put up
more money than Sky for the boxing budget, then Eddie will go there. Eddie also has shares in DAZN, which many don’t know. He’s not a major stakeholder but he’s definitely got investment in it.

I think AJ still has an exclusive contract with Sky though, but wouldn’t surprise me to see the rest of matchroom go to DAZN UK.

Either way, at the moment it seems we will only be getting Golden Boy cards in the UK.

was just about to say.

They have no content to give, not even a back catalogue.

they need get football content but people are going to start saying enough is enough.

I was figuring boxing in different countries like matchroom Italy and Spain

Well there you go EDL/BF ultranationalists! Instead of trying to beg Americans to buy into the Blockbuster Video boxing app now you lot can have another excuse for a domestic piss up!

[Pigeons]

Damnit, I was hoping DAZN would fail.

Why the hell do they expect us to pay $20 a month and the UK only has to pay $2?

[PBR Streetgang]

Interesting development. I wonder what type of revenue they will generate at those price points compared to the cost.

More importantly, I wonder how this impacts the level of content provided in my market.

Same reason why UK PPVs cost around $25 vs $75 US PPVs.

It'll be the American content mostly at silly times eg 4am the prices would go up if the get more content.

[Greenfield02]

Great! Maybe now they could pay those contracts they signed...

[Clegg]

Don't see them keeping it at £2 for long but worth that for the Garcia-Campbell fight alone first month
