This is the best news I have read in a long time ! I must admit that I have been a little doubtful about Matchroom's future but this signing removes all doubt. Matchroom's future looks bright
Turki has worked out eventually that charging people to watch sportswashing isn't the most effective concept.
Well its not like they are in the same position as Turki where he has an endless pot of money and can afford to pay the fighters what they need not have to worry if the show/event loses money. At the end of the day all promotors are in the business to make money whether we like it or not
Fair play to his excellency. I’ve always liked him. Where does this leave Eddie Frank and Dazn now ? It’s not going to be easy to put any old sh1te on PPV when Turki is putting stronger cards on for the cost of a subscription. I’m guessing that the Saudis have increased their interest in DAZN via the Club World Cup and perhaps have their eyes on turning DAZN into the major sports broadcaster in the world. The infrastructure is there already. Think of the influence that would have globally.
I wonder if Turki and DAZN have started to get the PPV numbers for the show at the weekend and realised they spent £15m on a show and 1,200 have paid to watch it?
A very rich and tall Rodney Trotter type from Essex claimed this a few years back then something amazing happened. This content is protected
