Well, it looks like DAZN is launching on 1st December in the UK focusing exclusively on boxing at £1.99 per month.

No Joshua fight though in the UK.

Haven't we been here before with a boxing channel.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

:Yes:

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Point of order gentlemen Boxnation still exists as part of BT Sports and Premier Sports. There might just be nothing on :)

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Even with lockdown, there's been more live fights in my local than on BoxNation this year. :D

Premier League abandon their disastrous PPV proposals and are discussing with broadcasters what to do next.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Not surprising given the dismal PPV figures and the backlash from supporters.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Agreed. Not worth upsetting their customers (fans and Sky/BT who didn't like it either) for something that makes loose change in real terms.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

This weekends matches are still PPV - people need to hold their resolve and refuse to subscribe to knock another nail in the PPV coffin

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Totally stupid idea but I wouldn't class it as dismal for the. Average of 40K for each match (granted some were less) at £14.99 a time makes around £600k per game - drop in the ocean against the TV rights packages but a reasonable sum.

If BT and Sky were complaining that it only just covers their costs...who was paying for recording of all the PL matches before? The PL themselves?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Every game has been recorded and broadcast for over a decade for international television with English language commentary packaged by the league. The costs to Sky/BT are probably minimal, but we don't know who is getting what cut from the games.

Sky/BT will be making minuscule amounts but equally be associated with reputational damage from being involved in this farce.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

BT and Sky are only taking costs - the EPL get the rest.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Good news for the DAZN balance sheet is that they've removed about $300m of liabilities as the biggest draw in boxing has been released from his contract.
