    I mean, that would've been nice. Some kind of deal like "Hey, thanks for helping us make this thing work. Here's a standing discount for as long as you stay subscribed."

      Wow! Did they really?

      I seriously hope DAZN doesn't go and decide to make Taylor-Serrano 2 a PPV fight (with me living in Puerto Rico).n

      When I got that email people are referring to about DAZN upping their subscription price I was worried but thankfully my contract doesn't expire until November so thankfully I was able to delay that new price for a bit.

        Yeah, DAZN has completely crushed their initial value proposition. If original supporters could be grandfathered in at original prices I would've kept my subscription, but adding PPVs and consistently raising the monthly prices is a disservice to their clients. Their monthly subscription should not be that high. I can easily re-sub to showtime for a fight or two for $12 and feel like I'm getting my money's worth, but I can't justify paying a month for DAZN for any of their fights.

            LMAO!

            Charging $15 for THAT? Wasn't that the fight where he Tagoe ran all night? I stayed up to watch that and man...that was hard to watch. Never mind people that paid PPV for that.

              I'll be canceling my subscription before it renews in early June. Was holding out for a bit because I hoped there'd be enough backlash from fans for them to decide to back off of the massive price increase a bit, but that doesn't seem to have happened. But to jump from $99/year to $225 in one increase is such a slap in the face when you consider the addition of PPV and the really terrible last few months of content. Guess we should've known that first year or so of DAZN was too good to last.

                you cannot raise subscriptions Prices and still turn around and ask for more money for PPV Events like WTF are we doing right now?

                I love boxing but not that much I doin't care if it was PBC, Top Rank, GBP, Don King Promotions whoever TF, I don't love boxing that much to spend that type of money on a APP that I would only open for MAYBE Canelo fights I guess?

                You charging more than Disney+ and Netflix combined and at least those are 2 APPS than not just me but the entire family uses Daily, with a DAZN subscription I was the only one in the household using it and it costed the most so it just made no sense Financially to keep paying for something that I was only opening when Canelo fought

                  Exactly correct sir! That said, they have to find a way to still try and burn their supporters!
