I'm American.
I was hopeful about this new platform & still am. I think too many people wanna make something a W or L far too soon in its start. To me DAZN is on a 8 year journey right now & I'm not gonna be too rough on them about ultimately winning or losing til we are a couple years in or I hope to keep to that stance anyway.
The signings were overall a disappointment. But I was kinda expecting it to be overall a disappointment even if there were big words spoken cuz I knew Haymon helps fighters in ways Hearn or DAZN would ever do & that kinda loyalty isn't going to be easily parted when cats are getting soft drink & beer money at their fights on top of all that.
I do feel like that Canelo pickup for DAZN was huge doe. And the signing of GBP's roster which has some promising guys on it that could be the big draws in boxing in another 2-3 years.
I will admit my initial attraction was the WBSS tournament being a part of DAZN's product & if DAZN can keep that tournament on their platform & put some more money into it in upcoming years that might be the best thing DAZN has going for it.
Some issues I got with DAZN is while I appreciate them showing the full card I think they are wasting far too much time & spending too much time doing all this extra sh^t on fight day to get people attached to specific names. It woldn't be so bad if it was a lil 5 minute thing for non-main event fights or 10-15mins for the main event like HBO Boxing would often do. The thing is DAZN is taking a half hour plus after almost every fight to show me this extra sh^t. I just wanna see the fights on Saturday. I don't need a history lesson on Dave Allen, a journeyman UK HW, of all people.
Thats not to say I don't wanna see extra sh^t. Cuz I definitely do. I'd be watching the sh^t outta this stuff & loving every minute of it if it was released on fight week to hype up specific guys, fights & rivalry's prior to Saturday. When its released on Saturday in between every fight I'm so annoyed I barely wanna watch the card anymore. Just show me the f#cking fights DAZN. Do the extra sh^t on Monday thru Friday.
