SPORTSFIX (SFT): BLOCKCHAIN-BASED OTT SPORTS STREAMING PLATFORM
By 2017, the global sports market was expected to generate revenue of around $500 billion. The industry connects many different activities, from the food and memorabilia stands, to media rights and sponsorship. The business features numerous participants: from rights owners (athletes, clubs, leagues and federations) to sports agencies, sponsors, investors and broadcasters . All are competing over a bigger and bigger pie, as the sports industry is growing faster than most. One of the biggest catalyst behind the growth is the increases in revenue derived from media rights deals.
Beside the contribution to the industry, sport media still has to face numerous problems, including:
- Traditional TV is an antiquated model
- Too many platforms and channels
- Limits franchises from direct engagement and monetization pathways to fans because of one way communication
- Arbitrage game by larger players that monopolize content
- Poor content discovery
