Perhaps not, but it's the future of broadcasting without any question. The BBC has a 'glidepath' internally to turn off its transmitters by 2040 and everything has to be delivered via IP or some other carrier by then. It'll happen for the vast majority of people long before that. Delays will be a fact of life unless everyone is on a good connection from a reliable, low-latency provider with enough capacity to carry all customers using high bandwidth at the same time. Until things like iPlayer and YouTube took off about 13 years ago, most providers couldn't handle a fraction of that.
This content is protected Sadly his is why it will work because of morons like this. Sky and BT offer us 100s of hours of live sport a week. DAZN offers us 3 hours of live sport a month, and charge £8 for the honour
You couldn't make it up. I thought the whole point of them was to eliminate that archaic model? May as well just sod off and put everything back on Sky. It's like when the PL rights got split up and you ended up having to pay two subs for the same product.
Scumbags. Can shove their shitty app up their arse. Dillian Whyte is an average fat blob, but we're about to see Hearn come out again with some script about 'we can't expect Dill to fight for that. He always brings war, he's a PPV fighter' or some bull**** along those lines. Hope DAZN loses subs by tens of thousands after this.
This why anyone who is a current subscriber has to cancel immediately. The only feedback they will understand
It's obvious the only way they have any chance of securing any AJ rights in future is to have a PPV model in place , the DAZN product has always been sold to us as the alternative to PPV though. I actually like everything about DAZN and think MR are on a different level to FW , Sky etc but this is a matter of principle , cancelled as soon as I received this email. Subscription. Changed.
These Whyte vs Ruiz type fights are what they were supposed to use as subscription drivers weren't they, the back bone of their business model ? There really is no point in having a subscription if the best fights they show are more expensive than any other UK PPV. They have to be careful as its not like people cant watch DAZN by alternative means and this will only drive more people to do that imo , for both there PPV and regular subscription shows.
Every card is a PPV as it stands. They offer no other sport. So if they are going to be charging £8 a month for Next Gen and £30 for anything decent. They can do one
Spot on. They need 2 cards like the Liverpool one a month to justify the subscription imo plus the biggest fights they can offer sprinkled in there like Whyte etc. If the bigger fights are going to go PPV I can't see how they drive subs, the Liverpool card as good as it was (relatively speaking) won't have secured 100,000's of new subs.
