DAZN buying BT Sports back on it seems

This coming from jurgen a guy who hasn't missed a matchroom card since Eddie hearn took the reins.

 

I’ve said it time and time again in this thread but it always falls on death ears.

Dazn will go BANKRUPT by mid 2022.

And if they somehow IPO in the meantime i will bankrupt them myself and make an absolute fortune doing so

 

Holding the rights to sports globally is never gonna happen. The price of rights for the same sport in each region is too wide for the this to be a reality.

The cost of Premier League rights for example in Canada which fubo.tv just took from DAZN Canada today will be way lower than the cost in the UK and Europe hence a Canadian pays a lot less to watch the EPL compared to the UK viewer.

Likewise the NRL TV rights go for huge money in Australia as rugby league is the highest viewing sport nationally. What Sky currently pay for UK rights will be way lower.

I don't see how a global TV rights contract could ever work. It would not be beneficial for the TV rights seller to go down this route either so there would be no desire from them.

 

Rarely miss any card

 

If shareholders don't start demanding returns they will be fine won't they? As long as they can keep finding new investment.

I do think there is a chance they could walk away from UK market in the coming years if they fail to land key tv rights. I can't see them just sticking with boxing. Eventually it could get to a stage where they see no viable future. They are in a tough market against Sky, BT/Discovery and Amazon. Winning rights is not gonna be easy!

 

He meant DAZN

 

If the DAZN UK offering does not significantly improve since Earn left Sky, surely most of those £7.99 per month subscribers will see they have been mugged by Earn and unsubscribe.

Game changed?

Same Circus, Same Clowns

 

The wheels are coming off now mate. The Dazn double decker bus is now looking like a tesco trolley with one wheel and thats half hanging off.

Their only outlet is they have the money laundering gangster Len bankrolling them. But Len’s bag is running dry now after a night with rita ora not long ago

 

Matchroom have now bought a fleet of defunct Poundland Trolleys to paper over the cracks

 

Makes sense. Cheers.

 

i may be completely wide of the mark here.

but how does Dazn think it will dominate the market if it never gets a specified channel on sky platform, ala BT sports, eurosport etc.......

i know its hoping to go down the Netflix model, but for them to get the required sporting rights that the other tv companies already own, at that rate rate they'd have spent hundreds of billions, and like it or lump it, once the premiership stays on sky/bt, then no subscription company will ever muscle in. The football is the gateway, once you have that, you control what men watch, and where

 

The UK sports broadcasting market is saturated already with big players - going to be very hard for a new entrant to convince people that watching Premier League Football etc on a stream at least 50 secs behind the live action is better than a 5 second delay on Sky.

 

i totally agree, plus, pretty much every household has a sky box, so its all just "there", you dont have to go messing with your laptop/smart tv/phone etc.... to watch the sport, people dont want obstacles, they want it to be as easy as possible

 

Frank now has Discovery Plus.

He has Tyson Fury and Emma Radacuna on his platform.

The two biggest stars in British sport.

 

When the Premier League games are on Amazon, it takes far too long switching between matches waiting on streams to load.

Earn regularly tweets the outcome of fights 1 minute ahead of the pictures people are viewing on DAZN UK.

Delayed streaming broadcasts are a huge step backward for me.
