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

You mix things up, just because they are a streaming platform doesn't mean they will just rule all social media platforms. ESPN, FOX and others are still more well known entities both worldwide and in the US and they are also present on social media, they are monstrums. DAZN is trying with an online model where they put sporting events on a streaming platform because they think that's gonna be sports' future just like it happened with movies/shows or music. The transformation won't happen from one day to another and they don't represent the internet and all people who uses internet as a whole just because they are a streaming platform. ESPN also seems to think this gonna be the direction of things hence they are putting so much emphasis on ESPN + FOX and Showtime seemingly don't bother with this that much. Showtime has online content but they don't emphasize it as much as let's say ESPN.

Not saying that DAZN does everything perfect, they have work to do, for example getting a better commentator team but I never expected them to just get millions of viewers in a year or so. DAZN USA has 270k subscribers on YT, 334k Instagam followers, these are not bad after a year. PBC on FOX has 53k Insta followers, 225k YT followers. The original PBC Insta account has 507k followers while the original PBC YT has 176 k followers and it's running for 4 years now.
As I checked the contents due to your suggestion I saw all of these sites post pretty frequently and do advertise their fights and fighters a lot.
I doN't see the big difference what you are talking about at all.
I think all of them are doing good as of now. Obviously I don't see into their finances I just talking about their marketing and following numbers now.

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:
tbf though if u sign with a promoter it would be kind of his job too to get your name out there

130 is a disappointment because there have been some absolute wars that were fought there in the last couple of years and its cooled off alot...might be in a rebuilding phase like 140 was for a couple years..i dont mind the champs there though...all capable fighters
