Press
Release: By DAZN – NEW
YORK (May 8, 2019) – As Canelo Alvarez
outpointed Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs to unify the WBA, WBC and IBF
middleweight world titles on Saturday night, more than 1.2 million people
worldwide watched live on DAZN across the
company’s eight current markets. In addition to the United
States, home to the vast majority of the viewership, the fight was also
available to DAZN subscribers in Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Spain and Switzerland.
Company officials deemed the
event a success, as it generated significant paid subscriptions – both
annual and monthly – to deliver against projected revenue targets. Despite the
heavy influx of viewers and new subscribers, the platform produced a
reliable stream with no substantial technical or buffering issues.
Canelo vs.
Jacobs marks an important moment for DAZN’s U.S. business since it
launched in September 2018, dramatically growing its subscriber base ahead of
major upcoming events at Madison Square Garden including Anthony
Joshua’s U.S. debut on June 1, Gennadiy “GGG”Golovkin’s
return on June 8, and Bellator 222: Machida
vs. Sonnen on June 14.
