a 500K TV rating... :manny:...:pachaha:..haney is good right now..young boy is about to headline a card in september in vegas

Tank was trending as the hottest topic over the weekend on google. The showtime social media links got millions of views (sportscentre retweeted as well). His next fight will do numbers.

As a boxing fan I get it, from a mainstream perspective though, dazn is a backwards move right now...no one is tuning in, and their social media feeds don’t get any buzz either which is supposed to be their strong point.

Haney picked short term big money over growth. DAZN is terrible at marketing/promotion. They literally haven’t been able to produce one proper online promo video for Haney.

Haney was on the verge of getting a ridiculously large push from Showtime and FOX, Gervonta style. Look at the last cpl of vids Showtime produced for him and how he had his own online segment on the live FOX card in February.

Now he is shoved back into the underground. I have no idea how DAZN can turn him into a star if they can’t even produce online content.

As a boxing fan it sucks, it’s pretty much like he doesn’t exist in the mainstream.

The way the game is set up now, these young cats getting these DAZN big money deals, could easily hire and film their own promo and get their own marketing team to help boost their profile. I wouldn't wait for DAZN/Matchroom etc... to do anything if I have the funds and connects to do it myself. Yeah I know its extra work on the fighter, but its not like these nikkas fighting 3 and 4 times a year. They just gotta delegate the work.

Ppl saying DAZN has no viewers like
  • they would know the numbers
  • it was expected that millions will watch a new streaming service all the sudden
They play the long game they don't aim to get more viewers than ESPN or FOX in 1 or even 5 years

The thing is...DAZN is supposed to be owning the youtube, twitter and IG world.

For a streaming service, they don’t put in 1/4th of the effort online when it comes to marketing fighters and fights. PBC and Top Rank are miles ahead with the online world, and they are on t.v!

You can’t find me one Demetreus Andrade or Devin Haney youtube promo

No, this is what DAZN and Matchroom should be doing, Matchroom just doesn’t know how to do it with DAZN yet as they rely on sky sports in the UK. Look at how their UK fighters are promoted through the sky youtube and sky affiliates, massive difference.

There’s a big difference between having a machine behind you vs doing it on your own (Farmer had to make his own youtube channel, but how many views is he getting?)

Imagine having the machine behind you, and then doing your own promo as well.

We never gonna get Tank vs Tevin :francis:

Man, fukk these nikkas. If y'all not gonna fight, stop saying each other's names. Quit stalking each other's social media pages like some obsessed scorned hoes. shyt is beyond corny :snoop:

Meanwhile on the other side, Berchelt acting like Herring don't even exist. That's an easy unification right there, but we won't get that either.

No wonder 130 is so fukking trash. Filler ass division hasn't had a meaningful fight in lord knows how long :unimpressed:

At the end of the day, its up to the fighter themselves if they wanna put in the extra work to be a star or a superstar.
Broner filmed his episodes and shyt and had them on worldstar for years, keeping his name out there. nikka already gave these young cats the blueprint. A lot of these cats just wanna box and think of nothing else. That's cool, but then don't complain when your brand isn't where it's supposed to be at.

Every boxer isn't going to be blessed with a machine behind them. Besides, when some boxers do get the machine behind them, fans get upset because they'll feel that the boxer is getting over hyped and start saying they overrated. We seen that happen already with Jermaine Taylor and GGG and how HBO backed them during their runs.

Avoid all that and just invest in yourself and do your thing. Maybe it'll make whoever you're signed to catch on and start throwing some promo your way. :manny:
