On Wednesday, boxing star Canelo Alvarez signed a five-year, 11-fight deal worth a minimum of $365 million with streaming service, DAZN.
After 45 years in the boxing game – showing most of the top fights – Premium Cable is calling it quits at the end of the year. Over the past few years, with the boost in technology, television ratings have dropped because of different streaming services.
