Comments Thread For: DAZN: Canelo-Jacobs Fight Watched By 1.2 Million Worldwide

big difference is they don't pay genius.

Espn isn’t free cable you got to get it in a sports package ontop of your current direct tv/ dish plan and if you don’t have that you gotta buy subscription to their app so they do pay genius

"The story says US viewership for Canelo DanielJacobsTKO peaked at 600,000, so that’s a strong indication of what the subscriber base is near, industry sources say."

I call bs on what Pugmire is saying. That don't even make no sense. Why would the peak US numbers for the biggest event on DAZN US thus far say what the base sub rate is???

Its EXTREMELY likely that a good % of those 600k viewers are canceling at the end of the month & they just sub'd to DAZN for this fight & for 1 month. This is a whole new thing there isn't a "strong indication" of sh^t yet specifically off of what he's suggesting its off of. The fact there is a yearly option & a monthly option suggest "base numbers" are gonna wildly swing or at least have a good potential to wildly swing from month to month or more specifically with fights of this caliber popping up.

Or what he is saying is majority of the DAZN subscribers tuned in to the fight? So if 80-90% of the current subscribers tuned in then add the ones that subscribed just for the fight, then that statement isn't all that crazy. Now, other question, is he already factoring in the subscribers that have already canceled?

Either way, I just don't see how any of these numbers show they have surpassed the million mark.

Someone clearly wanted this leaked out for PR reasons as all the writers reported the same thing all at once. If they are leaking this, I think they would have leaked their subscriber base exceed a million, if that was the case. Either that or they are waiting for next month to see how many new subscribers they retained.

He has NEVER reported subscription numbers or any idea of how many subscribers they have he is making a guess based on yahoo reporting nothing more. We have had 2 insider sources last week saying they are close and approaching 1m subscribers and now a report from DAZN that of their total subscribers 600K watched it live. We don't know the full percent of subscribers they have versus how many watched it live. But if you just use logic this lines up to what 2 different sources reported last week. They are at or close to 1M subscribers.

I don't know about that. Evan Rutkowski said that DAZN was hoping they would exceed a million subscribers after the fight. Nothing shows that to be the case. Again, it is all anyone's guess, but I don't buy for one second they were approaching a million subscribers BEFORE this fight.

That's why I will be interested in hearing what Rutskowski has to say on his podcast about this.

600k x $9.00 = FAIL

Nope. Just the stupidest. Many of these posters would rather pay $80 for PPV and $15/month for Showtime than $8/month for Canelo, AJ, Usyk (when he's healthy), WBSS, Jacobs, GGG.

This was by far the biggest event on DAZN (US) so far, so its not crazy to believe 80-90% of US base signed up for this. Will be interesting to see numbers for next big (non-Canelo-month event). DAZN should've had AJ a week later to force two months subscriptions as I cant think of next big (PPV-level) fight on DAZN minus probably Canelo/GGG3 in September

600K x 20, if they went with the one month subscription. so half fail?

Lol you are getting ripped off if you paying $15 for showtime. Most ive ever seen is 10.99 and the non-boxing context alone is well worth it. We all agree that PPVs are overpriced

Big fan of DAZN Canada. Happy to see them succeeding elsewhere as well!

Exactly! Me and both my homies that went to Vegas with me all have a DAZN subscription but we just watched the fight live. So there's three subscribers who didn't watch the fight on DAZN....

Like people are stupid this is another point Vegas was packed with Canelo fans you don't think none of them already have DAZN? Maybe you subscribed in december for the Fielding fight that was in NY and you are a boxing fan. But now Canelo fight is in vegas and you want to see that shyt live or at one of the closed circuits in vegas casinos. Canelo and boxing fans that already have DAZN but are in vegas is in the thousands alone. Not all could watch the fight live on the app. You got fight fans that like watching big fights in a group like me. If you went to your buddies house and you all have DAZN but want to watch it at a house party that's like 4 subscriptions but only 1 subscription is accessing the fight live.

So many haters screamed nobody is subscribed to DAZN we know that's false now so they going full re tard thinking if 600K watched live that is the exact 100% of all subscribers like NOBODY not a single person is subscribed but didn't watch it live or nobody subscribes to DAZN for other content they provide then just Canelo fights.

Fools game of thrones comes out on sunday at 9pm not everyone watches it exactly at 9pm. What if you got shyt to do but since it's on the app you know it's always there when you want there is no pressure like live tv where if you miss it you are phuked. Hell you could watch it at midnight, for breakfast the next day. That's what's great about these app it's there whenever you want.
