What's the current opinion on DAZN?

[asgarth]

Not from the US, but I remember that Dazn had a relatively weak launch, because hearn wasnt able to sign the more recognizable american boxers.

His stable reveal featuring the likes of vargas and farmer wasnt impressive at all. Right after the launch and canelos fight, they didnt offer any fights for weeks.

A lot of you guys here were sceptic about using a streaming platform (even though it's rather similar to netflix).

2019 looks like a different animal.
They have usyk, they work with GBP and therefore have canelo and the rest of the stable. Golovkin, bivol and jacobs. Wilder is in talks with them. WBSS semifinals and finals.

So, who has subscribed to DAZN and is content with what they offer?

----

Im from germany. Until recently we were only able to get the big overseas fights that featured mayweather, pacquiao or golovkin. Since dazn got more invested in boxing, i can legally watch a lot more boxing.

In the last three weeks we got rios vs soto, degale vs eubank, lara vs castano, matchroom italy card today, porter vs ugas and bivol vs smith.
Its weird though that they didnt stream the matchroom uk card (gill vs dominguez), so dazn apparently doesnt get the streaming rights for sky for every market.

One last question:
Are subscriber in the US able to replay past fights for eternity? Is it staying in a video library?
Because over here, I am only able to replay the event for about a week, afterwards I can only watch a short highlight video until it is completely removed.

You get PBC fights on DAZN in Germany?
And to answer your question all the past fights on DAZN in America are in the video library and available to watch.

I believe dazn germany only gets the showtime fights. We didnt get figueroa vs molina for example.

Hearn announced to work on staging fights in germany with dazn. Hopefully he gets it done lol. German boxers are currently fighting on a really small niche channel.

Do you guys get the italy cards from today? So if they start to stage fights in other regions (germany, canada, japan), you will also get access to those fights?

I haven't subscribed yet, but I'm going to set it up for my dad...it will bring a lot of the fights that I've been streaming on F*rstr*w and other similar sites for years right to his TV.

He's much more familiar with streaming apps than streaming on a browser that's for sure - I actually think it helps the "older" fan who is missing fights if they aren't going out of their way to stream fights on a PC. A lot of us are used to the BS associated with streaming online but sometimes, even for experts, it can be straight-up masochism. I can't have him missing a 1/3rd of the boxing world, so I'm giving in and getting it for him.

I still question its ability to build a "star" from the ground up, we'll see

I love the concept. I love their roster. But so far its been underwhelming.

Ironically the best part of DAZN thus far has been the WBSS fights & they are rumored to be having financial issues.

I also don't like much if anything Eddie has done in the US. He's had garbage cards & while I love seeing the whole card they milk the show far too much with long features or interviews between fights that I have lil to no interest in. Believe they did some 15+ minute interview with Dave Allen ffs. Who gives a f#ck about that. Put that bs on the shoulder prgramming so I can watch it at my leisure. Don't interrupt actual boxing for mfers talking especially fringe prospects like Allen. If you wanna hype the main fight or fighters fair play with a couple things in between fights with that. That enhances & builds anticipation.

we need better commentary

[Chuckguy]

I like it. The stream is excellent and they are signing up lots of good fighters. I would say pay for the entire year so they can’t jack up the price on you for a year.

[Sun_Tzu]

I like it, I hope it kills the current PPV shame.

Just learned DAZN is pronounced as the "The Zone". Weird.

[Mammoth]

I noticed Yamaguchi Falcao is no longer on tomorrow night's card so I no longer like it
