DAZN buying BT Sports back on it seems

It won’t be don’t worry

 

Yep, plus the World Cup, WWE and UFC. Essentially any sport that matters has a presence on there

Hahahahahaha

DAZN are finished.

 

Might be behind a paywall but Financial Times
reporting BT turned down DAZN due to:

“BT has started exclusive discussions with US media group Discovery to form a joint venture for its BT Sport business, deciding against the sale of the television network to the sport streaming company DAZN.

Few paragraphs later

Though a deal was supposed to be finalised last year with DAZN, owned by billionaire Sir Leonard Blavatnik, it was complicated by demands from the sports streaming service around distribution, and disagreement between the parties on longer term revenue protection, according to a person briefed on the discussions”

Hopefully this means minimal change for current customers

 

Hopefully that means DAZN might try and make aomw good fights ovwr here now.

 

Frank now has BT and Discovery Plus backing him.

I can see him targeting some Matchroom fighters.

Buatsi would be better off with BT.

 

somebody check on @Trafford

 

its basically a **** boxnation

 

No. I suspect they'll get other matchroom stuff like darts eventually but is that a big sub driver?! Premier league tied in for a few years as it is. Unless you are a boxing only fan an extra paywall for a few boxing cards has been a disaster for fans yet people on here were happy dazn entered the game last year...
