    I don’t think they have anywhere near those numbers.

    And UK doesn’t have boxing on Dazn. All the UK fans pump up what a great value it is because they get those fights for free and know Dazn isn’t going to keep paying for them if it fails in the U.S.

    One report said 5,000 people watched AJ-Ruiz live on Dazn. Think about that.

    Wilder should have accepted the $100 million offer. I doubt whether Showtime can pay him that kind of money

    I don’t believe the 5k number at all unless you have a reliable source. They’re on the heels of the Canelo—Jacobs subscriptions. There were double digit millions of illegal streams so 5k on Dazn would be absurd.

    Regardless, they’re running at either a loss or at zero this year in hopes of getting a reasonable base of subscribers. I think it’s very possible that it will work since they aren’t exactly budgeting for Game of Thrones at the same time.

    I’m sure they will only signed him last month. The AJ card was set and need to make a profit and GGG runs the Golovkin shows not matchroom. Haney is getting paid big money

    Lol SHO is making Wilder vs Ortiz a ppv fight and you dont think AJ vs Ruiz rematch is ppv worthy in the US ? hahahhahaha

    Ruiz has now more fans in the US than Wilder Ortiz Fury AJ combined

    DAZN has subcribers in many countries and they're backed by the richest man in the UK I think they can afford to pay GGG 15 M and Canelo 30M

    How many stars boxing has in the US ?
    I say only one really, and he's with DAZN

    PBC invested a shitload of money and which stars have they created ? None, Pacman is their biggest star / ppv seller at this point

    GGG deserves that kind of $$$$ more than either Canelo or especially Ward

    Wilder-Ortiz will outsell AJ-Ruiz in the US.

    AJ is the butt of a joke now, smacked around by a fat boy. And Ruiz is a Snickers spokesman (good for him). One hundred percent of play the first fight got in American media was “LOL he got beat up by the Pillsbury Doughboy.” Not a good jumping off point to sell dazn subs.

    Wilder-Ortiz 2 will not outsell anything.
    Both can't speak English, have no personality and Ortiz hasn't gotten any better since the first KO loss.

    We’ll never know because Ruiz-AJ II will be on Dazn subscription service. I’m sure people are lining up to subscribe for that one.

    We’ll see what the PPV numbers are for Wilder-Ortiz. I’m guessing at least 300K.
