I fully understand that the big fights can only be financed through PPV, but the way DAZN runs their business with countless PPVs doesn't make for many happy customers.
Totally disagree with any need for PPV. All that Saudi loot proves there is no end to the greed these days.
The Saudis are basically paying for an advertising campaign then making people pay to see it, so the ad they've spent millions on is viewed by less. It's fairly dumb to me
Absolutely. I’m guessing that the DAZN subscription numbers aren’t great, so to then have a PPV on DAZN must mean that the buys will be tiny. Casuals won’t be bothered to go through the rigmarole of signing up.
In its first published set of accounts in 2015, DAZN's losses before tax were £6.81 million. In 2016, losses before tax increased to £77.26 million. 2017 saw company losses before tax further grow to £259.4 million, and then in 2018 losses before tax were stated as over £520 million. Since the 2019 financial year to the most recent published set of accounts for 2022, losses before tax have exceeded £1 billion annually. The 2023 accounts for DAZN Limited at Companies House were not published until 18 February 2025, despite being due on 31 December 2024. DAZN's losses at the group level were stated as $1.46 billion.
My dad signed up to DAZN for the month to watch the Club World Cup. Said it's constantly buffering or blurring. Has no issues with other apps on his smart tele. DAZN is a crock of shyte.
Tell him to join Bet365 and deposit £5 as all matches are also streamed on that website, the Bet365 streams are 21 secs ahead of the DAZN Delayed Broadcast 'Live' Stream plus you can get it on full screen as well. He does not need to bet and he will see plenty of football on there throughout the year as well.
If this wasn’t dressed up as a legit sports media venture, you’d swear it was a Ponzi scheme. $6–7 billion in cumulative losses, year after year of red ink—and no viable path to ever making it back. At this point, it’s not about profit. It’s about timing: When do the owners cut their losses… or pawn it off to some deep-pocketed Saudi fund willing to buy the other 95% of the mirage? DAZN’s haemorrhaging cash faster than it can stream fights, and even their glossy UI can’t mask the rot. DAZN isn’t a media platform—it’s a financial abyss, primped for a cold, calculated exit.
I see they have three PPV's shows coming up in the next month and are doing a bundle where you save 20% if buying two of them together. I can only imagine the amount of more money they will lose in the upcoming years.
By the way : I'm amazed at how many Youtubers are currently busy talking up Dillian Whyte and describing him as a very dangerous opponent for Itauma. Give me a f...... break !
Awhile ago most shows from America were included in the subscription, including some of the Alvarez fights, possibly the 2nd Golovkin one, as well. Can’t recall when they started rooking us. They’re really pushing it with the forthcoming triple hit though. Zurdo should be within the subscription. It’s a disgrace that Paul’s the excuse for the charge. Berlanga! and Tom Zepeda v Jerry Stevenson, will hardly please anyone, especially Turki! Fortunately because of it’s time, Usyk can be seen in a pub, however on it’s own, as so far it has a limp undercard.
