    First decent card they have put on in ages (UK included) and it wont be on Sky UK.

    Now, this is a really good card but will it really add US subs? I wont be paying for DAZN

    Cannot see Sky putting up with this for much longer.

    Surely they just pay MTK

    I don't think SKY will be too fussed about this

    Its not bringing in many viewers

    However i agree that SKY are probably quite annoyed with how DAZN are picking up quality cards whilst Eddie serves up dross

    Look at his latest cards for the remainder of the year....Even slapping NXTGEN on them is an insult

    All to be on DAZN UK I think I theory.

    I want Dazn I bomb in the UK. Having continuously more subs cannot be a good thing. So hope it fails over here.

    Really good card. Are they planning to launch in Mexico or just hoping it gets the Latin Americans to subscribe stateside?

    If Sky pay the rights fees DAZN are paying they too will get stacked cards. You get what you pay for

    They will be launching worldwide but this is purely to give content at prime time in US.

    Matchroom are contracted to 16 cards per year on DAZN the budget won’t stretch to having a GGG on every card. So the plan is to have great quality cards monthly to give good content and then have a prime name such a Mikey García or GGG fight once a quarter in what would be deemed a PPV level fight.

    Why would you want DAZN to fail here? They're trying to eliminate PPV and give regular shows at an affordable monthly price, with some big shows included that would normally be PPV level. Sounds good to me.

    To get the number of Subs in the UK to sustain decent cards I just cannot see it happening. So will just add further spread of cards and more money to watch moderate fights.

    The PPV cards are designed to draw in the casuals and that fight did what they wanted it to.

    Entirely the wrong time to be launching anything currently.

    Like that card. Their plan of launching DAZN U.K. with Jacobs-Roaado sucks though.
