DAZN may or may not be the future & I'd bet against them myself as I've said numerous times. I think the streaming market is only getting started & I think the big dogs aren't even in it at all yet or fully in it if they are. I do expect DAZN to be around, even if I'm right, longer then you think they'll be doe. I don't think you jump in this sphere without the proper budget to throw some money around.

The only new thing you said is you think DAZN will be outta the boxing business by 2021.
I'm being consistent. I know that's rare around here.

What difference does it make if you made money off them before or after you started your little anti DAZN campaign on here?

But yeah, I personally want to see it fail. Putting a niche sport on a niche app is not good for American boxing. We saw it go from a mainstream sport to a niche sport when it went to cable TV. So yeah, I love boxing and I want as many people to see it as possible.

If they continue to hike their prices because they are losing money and not making a profit. Then one of three things are going to happen.
One, they will have to find a new market; Two, change the content on its platform and finally three; Just simply go out of business because no one is consuming the service.
DAZN launching here in America by adding Boxing content to its platform was good for me as a boxing fan but a mistake in general because hardly anyone in America watches boxing anymore. It's no longer a mainstream sport.
It's no longer popular among casual fans. Moving boxing off of free network television permanently damaged the sport and now the internet threatens to permanently ruin it.

This new info gives me a better time frame. Depending on if GGG and Canelo fight or not I'll have a better idea of when the price hike will come.

Anyone with a brain knows you don't get into this sphere as a new dog & don't gotta throw some money around & be in the hole for awhile. Its hardly some crazy move. Its pretty standard. And it does make them a greater risk, most places doing this do end up going outta business. Thing is all the major places in most markets that shook things up from outta nowhere also took that type of throwing around money route.
And like I keep saying this is nothing cuz if DAZN is gonna be competitive they are gonna need some 500M-1B a year type deals with the major sports leagues in the US.

Afaik there wasn't a bigger sport up for grabs yet cuz those bigger sports rights are locked up for years at a time. And boxing is one of the easiest sports to get into cuz its so divided & if you can make the right fights you can garner a solid audience.
Boxing is probably the biggest sport you can easily get into as a new player. And I mean that from the TV rights game to getting into the boxing ring as a participant ffs. Some of the worst pro athletes I've seen in my life are pro boxers cuz there is no quality control at who's a pro boxer. Any ass hole who don't fall off the treadmill can get ok'd for a boxing license.
