Comments Thread For: DAZN Announces The Launch of DAZN 1 HD on Sky Channel 429

I always found the app format ideal. Click on the apps button on my remote and it's there along side Netflix, BBCiPlayer etc, and you can pick up where you want.

Being in the onscreen SKY guide makes it more accessible for people who don't want to install/use apps, but the sticking point is still the cost. That rise wasn't really justifiable, and it's not very customer friendly that current subscribers won't be able to access through their SKY set-up.

Although I guess being on SKY makes it easier also for pubs and bars who want the fights on. Could also be a move with one eye on the premiership football rights when they come up again.

I just canceled my yearly subscription. I had been subscribing since DAZN signed GGG and Canelo. DAZN stated at the time that their model would eliminate customers from having to pay PPV. That was an outright lie. The fights worth watching now on DAZN are PPV. What a farce! See ya DAZN.

DAZN couldn't run a piss up in a brewery..! ....It should be called 'what a waste of money' inc. their own!

I still think PBC annually costs the most if you buy all the PPV's. I think someone saod it was around $1100. Dazn was around $700-800 and ESPN around $500. It's hard being a boxing fan and keep getting promised better fights. I was shocked Tim Tyzu and Harrison was on regular Showtime.

You can get Showtime and ESPN + for the new price DAZN wants to charge people. It almost seems like DAZN wants to go bankrupt because they will lose at least half their U.S. subs by the end of this year.

The thing is generally in the uk most hardcore boxing fans i.e. the ones that would actually pay for Dazn have gotten used to finding pirate ******s for years in order to watch US fight broadcasts which often aren’t covered by uk providers.

Everyone has a price threshold above which they’ll just opt to go back to less reliable low quality pirate ******s.

Dazn have just stepped over that line for an awful lot of people and shot themselves in the foot. However, they’re not ******. If they’ve now also got a deal going with sky and they’re loosing money it’s sort of suggesting that longer term they’re going to expand that model and just become one of the many options you’ll be able to incorporate in other tv packages.

Pirate ******s are suddenly going to become more difficult to hook into and less reliable due to this as a lot more people are going to be using them from this point.

Billed twice a month ? yeah no thanks

I subscribed for years. I stopped when things got slow. Lately the matches just aren't that good. I will always try and support boxing bc if dazn goes under there's even less boxing content and companies that would want to be involved with boxing
