Eddie Mcguire "DAZN (Fox/Kayo) are not happy with the AFL deal and they want to cut it

[dazbroncos]

WatchAFL is ridiculously priced $22 a week, $44 a month, or $250 a year.

I pay 182USD a year - fine with that - take my $$

The AFL should do a deal with channel 10. Imagine going back to the days where every game is on FTA

 

[GenericUsername202]

Maybe, but DAZN could then just take the AFL in perpetual lawsuits, would be cheaper for them and really bad for the AFL. Plus I'm not sure how big the clauses can really be, the AFL would have to demonstrate lost income, and the AFL can sell the rights on to someone else to mitigate any losses.

Not to mention DAZN was able to get out of the french league rights. I'm sure there's some financial fine involved in regard to leaving the deal. I'm sure DAZN would rather pay it, and just get out of it all together. Plus, it would be bad for the game if the AFL stayed on a network that didn't want it, because if DAZN started cracking the shits, they could easily dump their panel programs and produce an absolute barebones version of the game that would turn a lot of viewers away from it. The AFL should also look at this as an opportunity to fix their shitty broadcast deal.

The barebones version is what Fox Sports did to the a-league.

And yet we all know matches will be broadcast on Foxtel this week, business as usual.

This means DAZN either can't get out of the deal, or they don't want to. Hence the AFL is run by people with law degrees, not game show hosts.

Who's going to tell the players of the big pay cut they will be getting.

I bought an international membership at Port, think it's about $160aud and includes a subscription to WatchAFL

They broke. Barely keeping the lights on.

This was never a thing.

they'll just walk away from the deal, get taken to court,wont turn up, and good luck getting money from the russians

...why? Then no one would ever do business with them again

They can just buy out the people that have the rights and they don't have to deal with anyone.

Bet the AFL put some sort of re-sale / change of rights holders ownership clause in the next deal.

Seriously?

I pay $200 per year through West Coast which is good value I reckon.
Although lately, I feel like I should be charging them.

Those DAZN fwits can't spell, nor can they fulfill subscription cancellation requests.

True. I cancelled my membership to Kayo at the end of last season, and then when I went to renew at the beginning of this season I found that it was never cancelled.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Foxtel & Kayo is dead the minute it loses AFL rights.

AFL HQ have no reason to renegotiate.
