For example, the $30 million per fight or whatever that they give Canelo is a number that worked under the old PPV model. Used by HBO and Showtime for Floyd/Pacquiao fights at the peak of their popularity.
If a PPV was successful there would be more than enough money to give the boxers that as a guarantee and even to pay them extra due to the upside.
But DAZN gets their revenue from subscriptions. And while I don't know the official number of subscribers they have I seriously doubt that it's enough to be turning a profit based on how much they spend.
So there's a question about how sustainable their business approach is.
