In just one year, DAZN has grown into a must-have for boxing fans


Joe Markowski said DAZN’s budget for fighters isn’t going to be as large as it was in the beginning when it was trying to establish itself in the marketplace.

It paid overwhelming amounts of money to fighters, in some cases 10 and 20 times what they were offered elsewhere. Alvarez signed a 10-fight, $365 million contract that has largely been a blessing for the network, though it needs to figure out how to make him take the fights which make sense, like the one against Golovkin. DAZN also gave Golovkin a deal that exceeds $100 million, and that contract is something of an anchor if Alvarez won’t fight him. Golovkin has fought Steve Rolls on the DAZN banner so far, and is scheduled to meet Sergiy Derevyanchenko next month. Neither are going to be the kind of subscription driver DAZN imagined.

If Golovkin doesn’t fight Alvarez again down the road, they may regret talking him out of a deal that Golovkin had reached with ESPN. Golovkin shook hands with ESPN executives on a contract, only to change his mind and go to DAZN.

But the misses have been far less than the hits for DAZN, and it’s positioned well for the future.

Few had ever heard of it at this time last year. The fact that it’s a must-have for the boxing fan speaks to the job that was done in 12 short months.

It needs to do better going forward, and land even more of the compelling fights like Alvarez-Kovalev than it did in its first year.

But DAZN gets no worse than an A- for Year 1 and it’s positioned itself well to be the biggest player in the sport for years.

Looked at from that perspective, it’s been an incredible 12 months.

Dazn and beinsports need to do a a full merge/takeover, if they manage that they will be in a great position, they had an agreement last year but can't come to terms on a deal this year and it doesn't seem to be benefiting either in north America right now... Dazn is also active in more that just America and has some really good stuff on it, I really hope they succeed, it's great value for money right now..

Dazn is a stupid name too get merged with beinsports and find a proper name and sort it out.

DAZN has done really well on the boxing front from a fans perspective. I think that they have easily put on the best fights out of the rest of the services (showtimes, PBC, and ESPN). Possibly Ron is right and they put out too much money and will soon go bankrupt. I haven’t read about that but it could be true. I have no idea.

The main thing is that DAZN has been good for fans. Canelo fights alone make getting it worth it because otherwise they would all be PPV. Other streaming services need to follow their lead and get rid of PPV.
