DAZN is the future

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

DAZN does have a great chance to do well Globally but it won't be for Boxing it will be more so for Futbol!

I agree. I’d be really surprised if they remain in boxing long term.

The EPL rights are up soon, 2022 I think, I expect DAZN to make a play for them but it’s gonna cost A LOT to take them from Sky.

Ffs. There was me hoping that I’d be able to watch affordable boxing forever. I’m not interested in other sports. not interested in paying for loads of sports I don’t care about.

maaaa gaaaaawd

The idea of a streaming service is definitely the future whether it be DAZN or a yet to be determined competitor.

I think they are here to stay, I pray they don't go the same way as boxnation. For me it could be DAZN or any other boxing app, the convenience of streaming would always be the way forward.

What happened to boxnation again ?

Streaming in general is, yes. I dont know if DAZN specifically has a bright future though. It really hinges on if they can get much bigger licences or not, i'm talking Premier League rights in the UK, NFL and/or NBA rights in the US etc etc. The way they marketed the whole service so heavily around boxing was pretty dumb because lets be honest its not a big enough sport to carry things to that extent.

I seem to recall them saying that they weren't interested in competing for leagues in their home countries... ie they'd try to pick up EPL overseas but not in the UK. NFL outside of the US, and so on.

Or maybe that was just the start up phase.

They went under, they used to charge me £10 per month for boxing alone. Which I loved, they have been since brought over by BT sports. Prior to that they used to show PBC fights and most American fights live.

This is why I don’t get why any boxing fan would want the demise of any boxing streaming apps, the obsession by some British posters on here with DAZN/Hearn is laughable. I know those PBC cultists are aren’t the brightest bunch but it’s the British posters who somehow want the downfall of DAZN that makes me laugh, they don’t want the app, they complain about the price going up (Currently at £2) and they want to complain about the contents.

Call me weird but I don’t have much of an attachment to any individual boxers let along promotional companies/networks. I’m a fan of the sport and I want access to good content.

If others were to follow suit I’d love that. My dream would be able to watch all boxing events (within reason) with solid cards, good production etc.

Who’s providing that isn’t important

That is what a boxing fan should be, but most of these guys are like females. Like i couldn't care less who produce, promote or his connected to any networks. If you bring the right fights at a great price then i pray that you stay up and make it in boxing. None of this dreaming and praying that a network goes under because you hate someone that is associated with them.

At the end of the day if DAZN can sustain their price model, get more boxers signed to them, give us fights that we want them i hope they make it, it would be tough for them though because of the politics in the sport. but if it isn't them then i hope others can make boxing a focal point. For me streaming is the way forward, i do that with boxing, F1, football etc
