I have to buy ANOTHER ******ing app? No thanks.

I thought pea**** was free. I’m with you on that. I’m cancelling DAZN when my subscription expires after they had their outrageous price hike.

Plus, half of their sh#t’s on sh#tty PPV’s that aren’t even worth a fraction of the price.

And I remember their big marketing ploy was, “WE’RE ANTI PPV! DEATH TO PPV!”

DAZN CAN LITERALLY SUCK MY TEENY, TINY, ****!

I’ll take my money elsewhere.

It would be great for boxing to make it onto network TV. The last time that boxing had huge stars being on network television had a lot to do with it. Boxing won't get new fans if people don't know who the fighters are. Boxing has to make the casual fan care . I don't know who this company has in their roster but they'd better make some exciting fights.

that is the ticket -- it is not so much about what fights are going to be put on the screens as that boxing is moving towards more availability for new fans and yea people that have been watching all there lives who remember watching fights great fights on the big three channels. The reason for all fights getting put on Tv and the history goes way back was the cost, it was cost effective to put boxing matches on and add that to the amount of eyes that watched it took off big on TV sets accross the nation years ago. Cable is the big dog now they want sport content they want it a reasonable price for them......... how long it lasts how good the match ups will remain to be seen but good for them but details how many how often how consistent are they going to be is open to interpretation right now....

Don't get too excited if you're a fan based in the US. Just bear in mind that BOXXER is UK-based and the fights are mostly for UK audiences.

I don't see Pea**** getting any fights that would compel me to subscribe. I thought about subscribing for the John Wick spinoff, "The Continental", but I read that it's not very good.

Haven't watched the last episode yet, but I've enjoyed The Continental

Yeah... I just bought the yearly subscription to Paramount + to get the Showtime events back. I pay for ESPN+. Throw in the other ******ing services I pay for it is hard to keep reasoning out the purchases.

I do not have Pea****, so it is a simple "wait and see" from me. Put on good cards that are enticing, I will give it a shot. Put on crap, one sided fights I will pass. But all in all I am glad to see boxing get another outlet to grab new fans, that is a good thing.

If PBC gets wind if this they're gonna take their corrupt fights to that Network. Moving rigged fights & mismatches somewhere else.. what a shame.

There's an ad-supported free tier on the service, but it's not available to new customers.

I think if you pay for one of the premium tiers and then let the sub lapse, you can access the free tier still.

I don't get any of it myself, but I think the free tier doesn't include any sports anyway.

Well, since Showtime is dropping boxing, maybe Pea**** can secure more fights for broadcast. If so, maybe then I'll subscribe and check out The Continental.
