what makes fans salty about DAZN?

[New England]

This forum has become America v Britain and DAZN is supporting the brits

the biggest earner for dazn is a mexican who works for an american promoter. anthony joshua fights in england on sky PPV!

I don't get it. How immature do you really have to be to let your dislike for someone you don't even know ruin a good thing for boxing? It's ridiculous.

PBC and ESPN has the same problem in regards to dates and not enough fighters to fill them with.

On the upside the DAZN/Hearn guys are going to be extremely active because of this.

Big Baby last fight October next fight November.

Boo Boo last fight October next fight January.

Tevin Farmer last fight October next fight December.

Artur Beterbiev last fight October next fight December.

This is the best ways for guys to increase their drawing power.

The activity is great for the fighters but they won’t get exposure if no one watches


Any real fan of the sport I think would want DAZN to do well but I’m so far pessimistic

My main issue and why I haven’t signed up yet is so far the match ups have been lack lustre at best

Maybe when the 2nd round of the WBSS gets going but right now there is a lack of good fights and it’s just quantity over quality

DAZN is great! I don't know why any boxing fan wouldn't get DAZN. The people who are still salty about it are the same ones who said DAZN would never sign any top fighters and fail. They have clearly been proven wrong.

Honestly I think it is just Eddie Hearn as well as some weird UK Fans who Promote DAZN despite them not even having access to it in the UK but they call it "The Greatest Thing Ever" "Eddie Is Going To Save American Boxing" Once AJ vs Wilder happens (and it will happen) I think the negativity towards DAZN will stop

PBC/Showtime/Fox, DAZN, ESPN/ESPN+ are all NEEDED for the sport of boxing and all need to be successful for people to continue to pump money into boxing, a sport that lets be honest as a whole is not even that Popular in the US at the Moment.

DAZN has Joshua, Canelo and soon to be GGG, the three biggest stars in boxing. That would be comparable to if a new MMA service/company started up and immediately signed the rights to show Conor McGregor, Jon Jones and George St Pierre fights.

DAZN is worth it, chill. PBC has the worst fighter presentation. ESPN has 3 money fighters (I'm giving Zurdo the benefit of the doubt) and that's it. HBO HAD the best presentation. Showtime/Fox the only other platform with enough fighters to Compete, but the WBSS separates DAZN from the rest as far as global viewership. 'Nuff said

[TheBigLug]

Lack of quality fighters. Matchroom USA, Golden Boy and most likely K2/360 do not have the rosters to support all the dates they will have. Not without serving up some massive duds at least.

That might be true but people also said no reputable fighters will fight on such a platform, yet the two biggest earners in boxing do already in AJ and Canelo with more following. let's be fair, everyone on this forum would've laughed if someone predicted Canelo will be on DAZN this year..

so i wouldn't write off their chances of attracting more and putting on good cards for the most part.

True there's always going to be a dud from time to time, but that's normal.

Increases exposure to the sport, cheap monthly rate, has a TON of events, has many top fighters, probaby on track to have the most fighters available.

Why does it bother so many on this forum?

I don't think it really bothers anybody. If you're a hardcore boxing fan, DAZN is a tremendous value.

However, for US fans, instead of the previous HBO/SHO two way split of talent, we now have the PBC/ESPN/DAZN three way split of talent. Which means more fights people want to see never getting to happen. Three dominant leagues is not good for fans. One would be ideal. Two was bad enough. So that's why you might have some fans hoping PBC, ESPN or DAZN fail so that we can go back to two worlds, or ideally, one.

Some people have issues with Eddie saving Murica, apparently.
