How Many Fans Subscribed To ESPN+ For Crawford vs Horn?

Well, if that's the case, they had better step up the quality. I'm hearing complaints of poor production and low frame rates. And I have zero interest in watching a full fight on my phone.

unfortunately, it isn't about boxing (which is a niche sport)... it's about all sports, all music, all movies, etc...

... streaming is the future of anything which uses a "screen"...

So let's have it, Pop; did you subscribe?

I simply couldn't, because I live in Bucharest, Romania...

Levertheness, production quality and overall presentation need to be top-notch, in order to get people to pay for it.

You don't watch it on your phone, you stream it to a chrome cast that is plugged into your big tv.

While it can be argued that those who subscribed to the app are hardcore fans, I'm not sure it's fair to consider abstainers casuals. I mean, where do you draw the line? If from here on out, every single regular fight is available only through various app subscriptions and all PPVs double in price, would you still bite?

I don't see a App strictly for BOXING Working probably EVER because the sport particularly in the US is not that Popular that is the Harsh Reality that we the Hardcore Boxing Fans are in Denial About. Why do you think Networks would rather invest BIG in UFC and WWE but not as much for Boxing

For ESPN+ they at least have the UFC coming Next Year now that will drive up Subscribers on top of other Content of more popular sports. But NO BOXING ALONE can't be the driving force for ESPN+ or Any App that won't work. I don't think DAZN is just depending on Boxing Either, they're likely looking to secure the rights to other sports in America to help bring in Subs because again boxing ALONE will not get it done

See, I didn't even consider people not being able to subscribe, due to their location. Darn you, Bob Arum!!!

... Internet piracy destroyed all "production quality"... and now they all are forced into "streaming services"...

Actually, I wouldn't even need that, as I have a smart tv.

It still needs to be @ least 60fps and HD to satisfy me.
