As I said, it’s obvious he’s going to stay where there is PPV so he can generate the most money. So either he stays with sky PPV or dazin will end up being a PPV service in the U.K. like it has adopted in the USA.
no matter what, they really need to change that name....”da zone”....what is that, an attempt at Ebonics?

It is and always has been a shlt and confusing name.

I thought it was "dazin" for a good while. A lot of modern companies have made up crappy names though because every good name has been grabbed and claimed already.

Not ebonics, ebonomics. Misappropriating the culture, at least the vernacular, for profit.

No ONE CARESSSSS..

Sky won’t even want AJ anymore, they’re not supporting Matchroom at all going fwd.. They will create new stars..!

[Robbie Barrett]

Makes sense. DAZN aren't going to pay £20+ mil for UK TV rights per Joshua fight. Joshua will likely remain SKY PPV in the UK but might be DAZN the rest of the world.

They would definitely want Joshua. He sells big for them and he doesn’t need Matchroom to promote his fights. Am guessing he wouldn’t renew his contract with Matchroom but he would renew his contract with Sky moving forward and go it alone with sky… Cutting out the middle man.
