    imagine having a fight party and you lose internet connection for some strange reason.

    No thanks
    I think some of you are missing the bigger picture, which is long term, there are a lot of markets which don't have access to these events at all, huge markets. If you look at Netflix's subscriber base by country for example, they have a huge following in a lot of countries you wouldn't expect.

    Also - in a lot of cases, these shows aren't going to be a situation of either/or, in terms of where you are able to watch it. They will be stand alone shows on DAZN that may not have happened otherwise.

    Either way, anyone that thinks this is anything but GREAT, is a hater. It might not succeed, but its more access to boxing and other sports which I wouldn't normally have access to.

      Looks like some want it to fail before it's even got going just because Hearn is the guy running it.
      Don't cut your nose off to spite your face. Give it a chance and see how it goes. It looks promising, streaming is how it will all be done before too long.

          I'm glad I am not the only one who sees it. If he's doing right by the fighters and the sport, what else really matters.

            TV tells you the schedule. Streaming allows you to watch what you want when you want.

            Internet is reliable in 2018 so give me streaming capability over tv.

              how old are you? Internet Streaming is pretty reliable nowadays.

              Used official (legal) live sports streaming a couple of times and had no problems.
              Netflix is also a Streaming Service althought not live, but I never had any problems with the connection.

                I'd probably pay for it if they do

                      I just hope these are good quality fights more than quantity.
