F DAZN! 50% Subscription Price Increase

[YoungManRumble]

It's $199.99 in Canada. Or $24.99 a month. I cancelled a couple months ago. Have to tighten the budget and the price just isn't worth it when the only thing I use it for is boxing.

Yeah, it's obscene now and they even had the gall to try and charge an extra $15 for the Ryan Garcia PPV vs Tagoe. What a monumental fight. I wouldn't even watch that **** if someone paid me $15.

I paid it lol. And wow was it disappointing. I just watch boxing on TSN (top rank) now.

You won't get an additional charge

Nice to hear!

Curious to see how many will continue with the yearly package with the increased price.

They should lose customers. They'd have to greatly increase their content and the quality of it. Working in multiple fractionated markets isn't going to allow them to make enough good fights to justify that price.

To be fair, they’re now being asked to pay big PPV costs

DAZN will say it’s only for big fights but the problem is once they introduce PPV, the standard of what becomes PPV fights becomes lower over time because fighters with profile will demand PPV now they have that function, or they’ll go elsewhere to do PPV, so DAZN will have to start lowering standards just to keep fighters on their books



in time, people in USA will be asked to pay $150 a year plus about 5-6 PPV’s.

Correct! That's my main issue, I would justify the 50% price increase to $150 per year but they expect that price increase AND to pay for every AJ, Canelo, GGG fight? That's the reason why DAZN was created and how it was marketed in the first place!

Yes, the appeal of the subscriptions was that the top fighters were included.

Well said.

It’ll only be prospects and Europe cards that are part of the subscription in a year or two

I like to support boxing but I can't justify their increase. I canceled my subscription once reviewing again what content was coming up. They are not going to deliver like they did at the beginning so there is no use to keep it.

[ELPacman]

I knew this was going to happen the second DAZN was announced to the world. Pay 1 price for everything? That's not much different than when MoviePass came out and went down in flames. You would pay 1 price for a MoviePass per month and watch unlimited movies in the theater. How was that NOT going to fail? They probably banked on most people won't actually watch that many movies but just pay monthly to the point where they would have more incoming coming in than going out.

Now with DAZN, it's like, they figure, they lure enough subscribers in, they can rack up those monthly reoccurring payments or better yet lock in those yearly subscriptions. Then eventually get to the point where you're still paying and didn't cancel your subscription but fail to realize the quality of fights or amount of fights going down. Not all subscribers are ****** and would unsubscribe the second they don't like what's to offer. These are the ones that hurt them the most.

We’d all be better off if Espn and SHO put more resources into FNF and SHOBox like they had done previously.

DAZN does have good cards in the lighter weights but all the best cards are ppvs. You’re paying for mostly FNF and SHOBox level fighters.
