Yo ho ho, the pirate's life for me.

Everyone that tries to make it in boxing lands on their face. SMS, Roc Nation, PBC (free boxing), DAZN (demise of PPV).

Lol at people thinking fury/Joshua will be the same model.... That fight will be a matchroom/top rank ppv with dazn axed out, Joshua is not under contract with dazn so expect Hearn to maximize his pot of money

I don’t know why this surprises anyone.

For any sports business to survive, they need to gain traction with current fans while also growing the fanbase.

Regardless of what Frankie2cucks kept arguing, the current base that supports boxing tends to support fighters and not necessarily the sport as a whole.

A lot of canelo/fishnets fans, like cotto/ Trinidad fans, like Floyd fans, like manny fans, purchase those fighters fights and don’t necessarily watch all the fights. DAZN simply doesn’t appeal to them.

This will be great for AJ because I’m sure a lot of American fans want to see him fight but don’t want to pay for DAZN to do so.

This is a win/win imo.

You are a joke. Keep your ********** shill to yourself or regurgitate it in your next Klan meeting.

DAZN is - by far - the best boxing option in America. Its not even close. The value goes down significantly if Canelo leaves but its STILL bettee than everything PBC does and better than TR

I never said DAZN was bad, you dummy. I said it should lower its price in the states. I pay 2 quid for DAZN.

I’m the CEO of DAZN on this site. Watch ur tongue boy!

It will be most likely dazn rest of the world (outside uk and america) in my opinion. Everybody wins there really. Dazn will get a huge amount of subscribers outside those two markets with that deal and will pay a fraction for it

You miss a huge point though. You pay £2 but what fights are you getting? The reason jts £2 is basically you are getting other countries fights, at sub optimal times and there is t much else live sport in your region at the moment. That’s fine, and if your a boxing fan that works out well - I do the same. However in America dazn would be bankrupt if they tried to get revenue on such low values because they would need to attract a ridiculous amount of casuals - basically 5x as many subscribers just for the revenue; but then there is indirect costs with dealing with more subscribers so in reality you need 6x as many.

$10 a month is a bargain for what they get compared to other networks given we know
America charge $60 for a ppv.

This month thise who had dazn (outside uk) got AJ, GGG and Canelo within 8 days!

70 bucks is not bad for this matchup. It’s the Ring Mag champ at 168 vs the top draw in the sport, for super middleweight supremacy. People who already subscribe to DAZN get it for no extra cost. Those who aren’t can either subscribe or pay for a PPV. I think this is pretty damn smart on DAZN’s part. Streamers gonna stream, but business moves forward.

i personally think $70 is a lot for this fight. Canelo vs Smith is a good fight but it isn’t one of the most intriguing fights that fans necessarily were ****ing the drums for over the past year. Then when you take into account that the undercard sucks, that makes it even less worth the $70. I actually wish it was only Ppv and not dazn because I’d love to see what type of numbers Canelo would put up. I’d predict about half a mil Ppv buys at best.

No-one is asking the obvious question.

Canelo takes DAZN to court to get out of his contract, then fights on DAZN?? Then why did he have to break free in the first place?

This must mean that Golden Boy were really messing things up. Canelo got rid of the middleman and suddenly everything is OK again.

I already said $8 a month is great. I don’t need an introduction on this forum about why one would want DAZN.
