So women boxing is popular now? I don't see how except for the weigh in sometimes.

 

Just confirming it's the biggest sports rights deal they have ever done. They basically won the rights package sky currently have with UEFA so they have every European qualifying and nations League match excluding England. Said great timing as it's big package for the UK launch and sends out a message who they are.

 

Bloody hell I hate Twitter

 

Now it seems the UK sports book betting market is the only thing they are bothered about

 

They're funded by a Russian Oligarch, it's funny how there's all this fuss about the Kinehan mob while DAZN is owned by someone on par in terms of moral high ground.

 

This may explain why DAZN not making announcing any new deals.

The parent company is the ones making the decisions.

 

Indeed. Blood money though.

 

That's a very fair point. And Blavatnik must just be on the right side of the current sanctions or DAZN would basically be dead in the water.

 

Hopefully he gets sanctioned soon and DAZN UK is over.

 

Nent Group / Viaplay is a big media company that has some of the world's best sports rights in several countries (including Premier League Football, Champions League Football, NFL, etc.).

This is their biggest deal so far in the UK and there is more content on the way.

 

He donates to the Tories, donates cash to rich public schools in the UK. Donations to Oxford and Yale also etc etc

This guy has nothing to worry about at all.
