  • CIVIL WAR Documentary (GUERRA CIVIL)

    On the internet, if you look hard enough you can usually find anything. However, about a couple years ago DAZN released a trailer (as a supposed “DAZN original”) of a documentary directed by Eva Longoria regarding the hoopla and excitement surrounding the fight(s) between the well-established Julio Cesar Chavez and a young gun in Oscar de la Hoya nearly 30 years ago.

    The trailer looked phenomenal and modern, anybody who saw it knows it had promise. It didn’t mention a release date. All it said was “Coming soon”. Six months and then a year afterwards, still nothing. And now two years have gone by and now the trailer isn’t even on the platform and you can’t find it ANYWHERE.

    If you look up the two trailers officially uploaded to YouTube by the DAZN channel, you’ll see the comments section echoing my sentiments by several others chomping at the bit and still frustrated that this looks like a huge tease (two years later).

    There’s no information, no announcement about when it’s dropping, no telling if it got swept under the rug, if somebody sued for defamation, etc. Apparently, there’s a very small circle that got to watch it at Sundance a couple years ago but that’s it.

    It really sucks that this essentially is getting chalked up as lost media since there is no information about what happened nor is there a way to see the film.

    i can’t be the only boxing fan here that knows (and is frustrated) by this, right?

    Does ANYBODY know ANYTHING about what happened between DAZN, Oscar and this film never getting put on the app (or anywhere) for that matter?

        Right?!

        They had that trailer plastered ALL OVER the app and I was excited from day one. So much time passed that I forgot about it and by the time I remembered I figured it must’ve been out for a while. Come to find out not only is it NOT on the app, but it NEVER WAS on the app, nor was it ever released in any way, shape or form (outside of a film festival).

        A whole two years since being debuting at a film festival they haven’t released it. A damn answer or update would’ve been nice.

        Every time I’m reminded about this it genuinely makes me upset. It’s not available ANYWHERE. But it EXISTS. And as a boxing fan I can’t find it.

          Free Civil War, dammit…

          If Marvel vs. Capcom 2 can be rereleased in 2024,I’m positive somebody can unearth that flick.

            Was looking foward to it.



            Sad thing is that it is a finished product, being shown in a film festival, so a select few that got to watch it.

            De La Hoya had a documentary in 2023, would had been nice if this was released right after.

              Typical DAZN, promising their subscribers things they don’t deliver on. What else is new
