DAZN raising a monthly price; New pricing plans

DAZN is not just boxing. In Europe you get the champions league, Bundesliga, premierleague, seria a, primera division, some nhl games, some NBA games, ufc, bellator, rugby, tennis and so on. Imo it is super cheap and its money worth. Great idea and the future.

 

For those that prefer to pay monthly and haven't subscribed to DAZN already, it's not good news.

I've had DAZN-ESPN combo since DAZN was launched so it's actually good news. $9.99 per month until March 2020 and then a yearly package which equals $8.30 per month.

Overall ESPN still offers much better content imo (for lesser price), having both Top Rank shows and European football. Don't be surprised if ESPN goes up to $9.99 soon.

 

DAZN I heard have 80k subscribers, that would not make a dent of what they pay to fighters like Canelo and GGG.

 

GGG with a record signing almost sank DAZN.

Boxing's most sought-after broadcast free agent, is off the market but it landed with a price as it nearly sank DAZN, like the iceberg smashing into titanic.

I also have it on good authority that this was probably the reason wilder didn't / couldn't sign the contract because GGG emptied that tank.

Hence why, wilder is now stuck with sucktime fighting bums for peanuts . What's changed right, I hear you ask....

To stop the invitable sinking the price of subscription had to rise, and probably will have to next year . But at least the biggest star of baaxing and people's champ is now onboard.

First he didn't sing, he's no Fury.
Second, how do you think these things work? You sign witn DAZN for an x amount of fights for an x amount of money, and then they sign it over to your account the very next day?!
NO! He has to fight for it first, and then gets a part of the total sum after each and every fight, drawing income from the fights themselves. Golovkin has fought zero times for Dazzun, for a total of zero dollars at the moment.
I thought this was common sense?!

 

Decisions about subscription fees will be made primarily based on how they affect sign ups and retention, not revenue. They are not expecting to make any money from the US market for a very long time to come. What they want is market share, continually adding subscribers and turning as many of these new customers as possible into long term subscribers. That's what will govern their decisions on price structures as this announcement suggests, after all for long term subscribers they just cut their price to under 9 dollars a month.

No deal signed with any one fighter will make or break this project.

 

Money might not be transferred there and then. But money is grid fenced and placed in GGG folder, as future payment , reducing the operating income of Dazzun making them less saludable.

It's simple business **** here rob

 

Sure!

 

Exactly. What they're going after is a Spotify/Apple music for international sports. That's why the $20 tag makes total sense.

 

DAZN have to do this. It's called market share. The plan is to invest heavily to gain subscribers. It's risky but in a market like this, it has to be done to be successful.

Take for example, AMD. You may know them from computers, they make processors and graphics solutions. They were on the brink of bankruptcy a few years ago. So how are they now back in the game and able to take the pain to Intel and Nvidia which are MEGA tech companies? A combination of two things. One, is investment. They borrowed a war chest from the banks. They had to, it was either that or bankruptcy. So that's what they did. By doing that, they could build a new processor under leadership from CEO Lisu Su and Architect Jim Keller. This as some of you may know, is Ryzen. Ryzen is the successor to the failed FX CPU which is what led them to near bankruptcy.

By building Ryzen they got back in the game. It was still behind the juggernaut that is Intel, but it was actually very close in performance. That is a MASSIVE achievement from such a small company. To take it to Intel takes some serious doing.

The second thing is that they were able to do this not just because of the investment but because Intel were a sleeping giant. They had stuck with their processors, the core series, for almost 10 years. FX did not compete with the core series, the performance was not there. Intel took their position for granted. They thought they could just get away with 4 core mainstream processors at extremely silly prices. AMD's Ryzen woke them up by providing a processor with 8 cores, 16 threads for half the price that Intel offered for that same configuration. Now Ryzen is actually about to overtake Intel in about a few months time. It shows well and truly what you can achieve by borrowing like mad, but only if you have a proper plan and a roadmap for the future.

They now have a third of market share. That is unbelievable. For a company a TENTH the size of Intel and they pulled something everybody thought was a miracle. Why? Because they had the right people with the right strategy and they took risks. Bare in mind they had literally no market share in 2016. And where is Ryzen architect Jim Keller now? Intel were so scared they went ahead and took him from AMD. Funny eh? Sounds like a fairytale. But it isn't, it's reality.

Now take that and apply it to DAZN. By spending they are taking a risk. But if they didn't spend, it would be a failure. PBC was a 'sleeping giant', ESPN wasn't really unleashing it's full war chest either. DAZN has woken them up and that can only be good for the sport.

DAZN is thinking long term. And so is Eddie Hearn. Not just are they bringing big names to the platform to compete with ESPN and PBC, but they are also doing something else that goes under the radar. Hearn has brought in a lot of very good young talent. For example, Yeleussinov is the real business. There is no doubt about that. You think Spence is good? Yeleussinov will well and truly teach him a lesson. Then you've got so much good young american talents, they are a fair bit down the line but they look very promising and they have a stronger lineup in their young fighters than ESPN and PBC do.

DAZN is taking the right approach. Stuff like AMD proves it.

 

Where did you hear that?
They don't release the numbers, so no way could that be accurate.

 

Didn't think to compare this with the AMD comeback strategy

 

LOL. How many do you think they have?

 

Did some cuckold on twitter spout this trash and you took it as gospel?
