Is GGG on UK tv

[Loki]

Bizarrely, no. Not on Sky, BT Sport or allegedly. You can only watch it on DAZN.

[Enlightened-One]

It’s unsurprising that no UK broadcaster would be willing to televise a fight card with such a poor main event and utterly dire undercard.

Sir, the UK has broadcast a lot worse. This is one of the best fighters of the last decade, which trumps a whole host of other cards broadcast on a variety of cable, satellite and freeview TV.

It was mostly a showcase and stay busy fight for GGG. Rolls had K2 too climb last night. Hope he did get paid for this.

No UK broadcaster was willing to pay a license fee to televise a poor quality event.

DAZN will inevitably convey an excuse, such as them deciding against allowing the event to be televised internationally as an experiment to measure the effect on new subscriber figures and/or content piracy.

However, DAZN’s representative’s won’t be able to explain the reason why they didn’t announce their plans before the event itself was staged.

Nothing more needs to be said.

Hearn explained why no UK broadcast. Didn’t really make much sense.



But like you said EO, it’s probably what they told him to say.. cus it doesn’t really make sense.

I watched the highlights on YouTube this morning .

GGG was patient but took a few hits !

Still doesn’t answer my point. The UK has shown worse fights/cards on Dave, allegedly, Sky and BT.

I would wager that DAZN were asking too much for it to be picked up by UK networks. If this is true, it’s worrying going forward regardless of the card.

Are you seriously arguing that the UK TV networks should have been obliged to have broadcast the GGG-Rolls event, headlined by a blatant mismatch, whilst having an utterly dire undercard, simply because they may have previously televised similarly bad fight cards in the past?

DAZN might pretend otherwise, citing some sort of “experiment” as their excuse, because it’ll be embarrassing for them to admit to providing sub-par content, but no UK broadcaster was willing to pay a license fee to televise a poor-quality event.

It's kind of spooky how similar Eddie Hearn's official DAZN excuse matched my words. You're right, the so-called "experiment" was kind of a weird thing to say.

Read my post numb-nuts. You clearly don’t know how TV Networks pay and broadcast boxing and how they are subscribed to in the UK.

I addressed the point you raised head-on, but you've resorted to insults because you can't undermine the accuracy of my words, since you realise they irrefutably reflect the objective truths of reality.

Thank-you for admitting to being proven wrong.

If you’re offended by being called numb-nuts, don’t comment on boxing. The point I made is regardless of the quality of the card, UK TV broadcasters STILL buy the fights and broadcast them. That is a fact. I’d wager DAZN priced themselves out of the UK. The quality of the card is irrelevant (as you suggested), as the vast majority of fights on TV are either free or subscription based, unless PPV.

You honestly just talk crap when you’ve been caught out. Man up; you’re a reasonably intelligent poster.

Caught out for doing what? What I’ve written is true, including DAZN’s excuses.

[Boxing Prospect]

DAZN didn't want to sell rights anywhere. Been told by sources at Spanish TV that they had made an offer and were told a flat no, Kazakh TV were the ONE exception on request of Golovkin himself, and even that wasn't confirmed until the DAY BEFORE. Kazakh website Vesti.kz, told their readers they would share streams on the week of the fight if Kazakh TV wasn't rubber stamped.

It was a huge power play by DAZN... And they wonder why people pirate their stuff. Idiots.

[SenorPipino]

So basically at this point, the UK wouldn't televise a Canelo-Golovkin 3 because it's a DAZN matchup that doesn't involve a Matchroom fighter?

This is what I think. Either it was a flat no from DAZN or they asked the territories TV stations for a ridiculous fee. Worrying....
