Comments Thread For: DAZN Confirms US Distribution Rights For Usyk-Joshua Rematch

[The tucker]

So can you watch this in theaters in America? That is how I been watching all my ppv’s since may vs pac plus it’s only 20 bucks at the most which is less than Ppv at home.

The main reason DAZN gave Hearn a billion is because he promoted AJ. If AJ loses this fight and retires DAZN will never have had the rights to a AJ fight for the UK.

What they paid Hearn for specifically excluded Joshua.

If he retired after this fight they would never have had any rights that they didn't pay for. Which seems pretty fair.

DAZN has been doing specials leading up to this fight on the app . They have some of the best inside the fight high quality in depth coverage about each fighter . The lack of promotion outside that is on Sky Sports they won the rights to the fight and they are basically U.K based . It’s apparent when Hearn isn’t the promoter events lack in that area all the time .

Yeah but it was really weird, even last week people were asking how to watch it in the US and it wasnt advertised on the schedule on DAZN's website.

That is not normal

I havent seen them do that in a long time but I watched a few in the theaters and it was really great, wish they would do that more

This close to the fight and here in the USA there is confusion everywhere as to how to watch it .... other than on a phone screen (yeah I know you can "cast" it to a TV). There are gonna be millions of American dollars that could have been made from this, that are already lost forever. It's still very sketchy how to watch this fight. Some will sign up for the app, but the far greater number of people are gonna miss this live ... and have to read about it and see clips later.

I can't begin to understand how that is a good thing for the Saudis, the promoters, or the event. Tons of money left on the table .... for what reason exactly? Makes no sense.

PS - The Fury/Whyte fight was shown in theaters in the USA live (I watched). They set that up pretty late too, and also missed lots of money. Too many people found out too late to adjust and make it. And that fight also flew under many people's radar. Thanks to Whyte the promotion was abysmal. Casuals had no idea (generally) that the fight was even happening. Only hardcore fans knew in my circles. I understand the fight made lots of money, but again, tons of money was left on the table.

I watched canelo vs bivol in there and they allready have canelo vs ggg 3 lined up too.

Unfortunately this is no mega fight and wouldn't be PPV in the US regardlessly. Ain't no one tuning in at 9am in the US watch this fight let alone would have paid for it.

Then don’t watch it cry about it .

How much are you getting from the fight ?

Posters like you aren’t real fans that’s been proven on here also ignored the fact Fury is not a big draw he’s just not in comparison to A.J as if Furys fights ever reflect Joshua’s ?

Why not just take a sedative and enjoy a fight you don’t have to shell out tons of money for your not seeing any of the money they make stop fantasizing over things ,everyone knows this fights happening it’ll probably break records then you’ll really be sad ,fans like you today concerned about other peoples money never gets old. .

Lost and mserable redeemer. As usual. Hates to see the failings of another hearn promotion. Too biased to just say "yeah, they kinda messed up on that", and let it go. HAHAHAHA!

None of that smug-noise you made had anything to do with my comments ... except showing you hate criticism of hearn promotions, even when the negatives are so clear to everyone. A week from the fight and no clarity on seeing the fight in the US (other than a phone app casting to a tv). Barely any TV promotion or exposure. Any amateur promoter could match this pathetic effort. Burns you up don't it? The FACTS I mean? Hahahahah..!

Fury's last fight in England ws bigger than any AJ fight. Burns ya up don't it? LoLoL! And for the mentally challenged .... money left on the table is NOBODY's money .... 'cause no one did the work needed to pocket it. Which is kinda the point of my comments. Am I "worried" about it? Nope. I'm just a fan making an observation and shaking my head. I said they would still make lots of money thanks to the Saudis, but to miss over half of the huge pie that is the American market ... just makes no sense, when you're trying to make all you can.

I don't care .... they can miss all the money they want. But it's just an observation. Shake it off old girl ...

LoL, no you go take your sedatives like a good fan-girl. Hahahahaha!

Who? The Saudis?

I doubt they care.
