Matchroom to move to DAZN from SKY for UK fights in historic 5 year deal

agreed, there isnt much football i want to watch but if i do i just go next door to the pub.
sky subscriptions are outdated, over priced and no longer have the monopoly they used to have

 

Same

also undercards are very bad

 

Entitled? Again to reiterate a fighter being on ppv isn't no guarantee. Benn may feel his now a ppv fighter and what would determine that would be the numbers a ppv generates. The consumer isn't forced to buy any ppv.

Not forgetting the network would be the ones who decide if they think Benn was going to PPV. They would look at his numbers on a fight night among other things.

Moot point now anyway as Benn will be on DAZN and likely his purses will be going up.

 

They got Golden Boy and then Canelo got out of the contract. For Canelo it's freelance which probably suits both as DAZN can see the opponent fight by fight and then work out what they feel it would be worth rather than multi fight deal as original guaranteeing huge amounts no matter the opponent.

AJ I don't think is looking for a fight by fight deal. He already has a great deal with Sky and if DAZN want to stop him extending with sky it is going to have to be multi fight deal with huge guarantees. That's a big commitment as well as there are other things to get around.

I don't see how AJ v Fury or AJ vs Wilder happens if AJ is on DAZN. How could ESPN and Fox in America do PPV on there side of the deal when AJ would be on DAZN. Nobody would buy the PPV.

Same as UK BT box office would run AJ v Fury as PPV but who would buy it when DAZN is avaliable.

I'm not sure how they work that out.

 

I did the think RE: AJ Fury. Makes the tv split easier with Sky/BT than the DAZN model

 

Na sky did well out of it. The ppv revenue generated was worth it alone.

Boxing on Sky with multiple promoters wasn't great. Cards in leisure centres just wasn't cutting it.

The budget given to matchroom wasn't even super high so I don't see how they could of continued to split the budget among multiple
Promoters while trying to get quality shows.

 

Who is gonna be Sky's new boxing promoter?

 

Although I think Team AJ will push for it to be on DAZN. Frank Warren would kick off big time.

my understanding is that DAZN would be willing to do PPV for that fight and give a package as part of it. For instance you buy the PPV you get 3 months free subscription

 

Yeah that kind of offering seems more likely.

 

This may be old news but I’ve just seen on the Athletic that DAZN own 40% of Matchroom USA?

If it’s old news then ignore but I thought it was interesting…

 

Any link?

taken from the article:
I’m told Oscar De La Hoya was turned down by DAZN for his planned comeback fight, leading him to take his business to Triller and floating the idea of moving his Golden Boy stable there.

De La Hoya doesn’t like the “conflict of interest” that exists with DAZN owning a 40 percent piece of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom USA, which has led to some cases of preferential treatment in co-promoted cards and in other matters.
