DAZN doesn't mean obscurity
Canelo has become a much bigger name even than he was when he fought Golovkin and he spent all but the latest fights of his on DAZN during this period. Not saying that it's only because of DAZN but credit where it's due cause surely they took part and despite the fears of many, we can say that appearing on an app didn't do any harm to his fame.
Do you see the fighters that appear on FOX or ESPN gaining a bigger following than the ones that appear on Showtime or DAZN? Cause I don't see that kind of correlation.
I still have a DAZN membership and would like nothing more for it to succeed. I don’t think you guys get it though.
Let’s play a simple game of yes or no.
In the 3 years DAZN has existed. Have they released even 1 training camp show for the following fighters (which are their biggest US fighters bar none).
Devin Haney
Ryan Garcia
Virgil Ortiz
D Andrade
The answer is sadly NO. None of the above guys have ever received a training camp documentary from DAZN. How absurd is that?
2) In the past 2 years has DAZN even released a training camp show for their biggest fighters period? (Canelo, Joshua).
The answer again, sadly, is NO…wait, these are two of the biggest names in the sport….what’s the excuse here?
We have established that DAZN doesn’t want to do a training camp show for their top American fighters. We have also established that DAZN doesn’t even want to do a training camp show for their top 2 fighters period.
3) Does DAZN have a network behind them? What is the biggest avenue for promotion.
NO network, biggest avenue is online/youtube.
4) The biggest avenue is youtube, that must mean DAZN releases a lot of content for their upcoming fights on their youtube such as training camp snippets at least, right?
The answer again is sadly, NO!
So what exactly does DAZN do? Their youtube channel which should be filled with hours and hours of prefight documentaries and training camp specials FOR THEIR OWN fighters and fights…..is just polluted with nonsense gossip like the DAZN boxing show and nonsense like Jake Paul, Tyson Fury etc that have nothing to do with DAZN.
ESPN, FOX, Showtime, UFC, they all have massive engines where they air their pre fight shows, advertise etc. yet they still find it beneficial to release this on their youtube.
DAZN doesn’t have an engine at all, yet they fail to produce ANY prefight content, when they are the ones that SHOULD be releasing the MOST content because they literally have no other means.
This is unhealthy for the sport, period. And yes, it is and will lead to obscurity. Where is the content?
