Loki wrote: ↑09 Jun 2019, 07:17 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.

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.

Loki wrote: ↑09 Jun 2019, 09:23 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.

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

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.

Enlightened-One wrote: ↑09 Jun 2019, 10:43 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.

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.

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.
