How is the quality for you guys? We don't have it here so can't judge. I saw the Miller/dinu fight on youtube and am not a bigger fan of the ring/colours of the mat etc.. Maybe its because am used to better ring quality (In terms of viewing) than what i saw in the Miller/Dinu and Andrade/Kat fight.

Pandas hit the nail on the head about having too much stuff between fights. If it’s a couple debut fighters I don’t need to see their 25 minute back story first. If I want to watch a boxing card, I don’t have 8 hours to set aside.
And they need to fire SRL or give him a different job lolComment

Yeah. It’s why PBC was smart to hire Lennox as someone who gives their opinions and knowledge of the sport between matches (from what I’ve read) that’s the role I thought SRL should have been put in. Just because you have boxing knowledge doesn’t mean you can have a conversation and be witty lolComment

The very first card he did in Chicago was pretty decent. However since then, the cards has been pretty much dull and boring.Comment

Criticism toward getting and keeping subs:
Had it, wasn't impressed, may return when they get good fights.
If I'm going to pay 10 dollars a month every month they need to have at least one can't miss a month. When they get there I have no problem watching DAZN.
Criticism as a sub:
I'm not an app or android user. All my android devices are dedicated systems for specific tasks that have linux installed instead of android OS. So I can't speak to the app, I don't know what it looks like or how it works. The desktop solution could use work though. Honestly I feel like they overshot themselves and tried too hard to impress me. I want a nice, clean, simple website. Don't change my video in anyway because I scrolled or some such. Just because I am getting bored with what I am watching presently doesn't mean I am not anticipating action later and won't be glued to the screen. I can not stand having to re-click the video I am watching so it isn't cut in half by thumbnails I was browsing while boxers give interviews. I don't need to see their face while listening to them so I'm probably going to take that time to scroll down and have a peek at what else is on DAZN. Well yeah except they cover half the goddamn video when I do that so instead of browsing DAZN, which is something I assume they would want, my fat, lazy, entitled, American ass will get the **** up and make a ****in' killer sandwich while listening to said interview then proceed to be fatter, happier, and lazier while I kick back in my lay-z-boy and fall the **** asleep having not browsed a damn thing.
Also, their sports beyond boxing are just ass. I don't have any issue with European ball and goal sports. I don't like American ball and goal sports any better, but Americans do not watch cricket and soccer has been getting a push in America since the late 90s and still hasn't caught. I assume this is like their fights, just give them sometime and it'll get better. I imagine for most Americans other sports that interest them outside of combat sports are American sports or at least sports America has held interest in prior to DAZN. DAZN should pick up Glory or some such similar. Get that kickboxing in there to round out the major combat sports. Extreme sports would be cool, I like watching the kids do terrific flips and twists on their toys. US Sumo I'm not sure would do well in terms of catching fire in pop culture but I am sure it would be cheap to grab up and it has had steady growth since its inception so should be more value than cost.
So as a fan who might subscribe they just need to grow to get me back, but, as a sub they'll need to change their desktop experience and grow their platform otherwise I won't drop subscription and miss big fights but I will complain about the utter lack of content beyond that fight to them everytime I sign in.Comment

I haven't purchased it yet. I'm waiting until 2019 to see what they have in store.
This is the start up phase so essentially all the big names will get easy wins in 80/20 type fights to build interest in the brand. I don't really care to spend money to watch that, although I've had to watch Usyk and the WBSS on the net after which kinda sucks.
I trust they will put on more competitive fights and then I will get a subscription.Comment

Not from the US, but just on who they've signed and the events they've held and have scheduled...really underwhelming. The talk was that they had the finances to blow everyone out of the water but they didn't sign any of the big US names that were talked about. Even with the top foreign names, they lost out on Pac to Haymon, and they lost out on Alvarez-Kov rematch to ESPN.
Canelo is the big exception, that's a real good signing.Comment

I don't like the quantity over quality model. The only meaningful fight they've had scheduled was Andrade vs Saunders and it fell apart. Feels like the goal is just to provide a bunch of filler for an otherwise empty app rather than to be a positive addition to the boxing landscape. Could and hopefully will change once (or if) they manage to bolster up their stable
