So DAZN will need to get UCL/UEL rights for 2021 before they even look at the A league, cause no one is paying $35 a month for A league only and German/Italian/French commentated football. Plus the fighting and US sports, but not all football punters care about that stuff.

I'm sure eventually the A league will move there. But given how bad the situation is right now, unless DAZN offer huge money I think Optus are the safer bet until say 2022 or 2023.
DAZN is already partnered with everything you listed above in other territories and it's their global strategy to be the partners of those competition Worldwide.
The strategie is to use combat sports to get themselves brand recognition then acquire licensing for other high profile sports when they become available.

As for $35 a month, there is no way that is going to be the price guide. It only cost US$10 a month and Joe Markowski has been quoted as saying it will only cost £5 a month when it launches in the UK.
