      and dont act like signing up and canceling is so much work. you literally have the app right in your face! lol. it's no different than turning on your TV and changing the channels.



      Why get that app, when I can free stream it? Same thing for DAZN and any of these other apps popping up.



      This guy got it covered

          Its ****** product. Especially when anyone with any common sense knows that Arum is a money hungry old hag that will get money however he can. Anyone who does not have a smart TV or chrome cast or not enough data on their smart phone to download the app is ***** out of luck.

          Who the f@ck wants to watch one of the best pound for pound fighters on a small @ss screen? We want to keep boxing as a MAJOR sport not a sport where you have to do extra Ish to see good fights smh

              For me it doesn't. For Crawford's and American boxing's marketability it matters if he's on regular TV vs some garbage app

                    No excuses, this shyt WILL flop.

                    There's only 200k subscribers on ESPN+, vs millions on regular ESPN. If everyone of those 200k tuned in that shyt would still be a flop relatively speaking.

                      HBO, Showtime, ESPN+, DAZN, and PPV on top of all that? If you think ESPN won't do PPV, think again. This is just another way to nickel and dime the customer. Who else is fighting on ESPN+? BJS vs. Murray and Khan earlier this year? I'll do the trial to get a steady stream for this fight, but I will not pay for this nonsense.

                      ESPN is already one of the biggest costs in any TV subscription service, so the fact that they're looking to squeeze the customer even more is plain greed. Now, if ESPN+ included all of the ESPN channels, that would be a different story, but it shows bull**** like MLS and Baseball.
