DAZN is the greatest idea to happen for boxing fans. Showtime R.I.P.

The fighters are moving to dazn and they will have no choice but to fight each other under 1 platform. DAZN is doing what PBC failed to do. Once showtime goes under, all fighters will be under 1 platform and we as boxing fans will see the best fight the best without one promoter complaining about money or network issues. The fights that never happened in the past due to network issues won't happen in our era with Dazn. As a boxing fan, I could not be happier for the future of the sport.
      Eh, they've done nothing so far. Canelol-Jacobs will be their first decent card ever. Pump the brakes on fapping to DAZN guys..

        Exactly. As a fan I dgaf about promoters and networks and excuses - I.just want to see great matches made. Even young prospects who now, unlike 20 years ago, feel they need to protect their 0 and not take risks till fight # 20 (or, in Wilder's case,l fight # 40).
        Let's see this Agjaba cat fight Dubois or Joyce right now. And let's not worry about all the politics.

          The good thing about DAZN is that it's a world wide platform. Even if Americans don't watch boxing any more, US boxing will be watched by millions of sports fans around the globe on DAZN. That's why they are throwing money at US fighters right now. And that money could revitalise the sport in the US.

          The bad thing about DAZN - even though their HQ is in London, we can't get it in the UK, because of Sky and Eddie Hearn. Thanks a lot Eddie, you fckn snake.

            I love DAZN. But they can't force any boxer to fight another boxer if that boxer does not want that fight. It isn't a dictatorship like Dana White's UFC. If a boxer doesn't want to take any fight for any reason he just says no and signs no contract.

                What the fuc are you talking about hater? Two of GGG's last opponents were Jacobs and Canelo. Your hero's last three opponents were Berto, Conor and a midget kickboxer. You have no idea who GGG's next opponent is but you accuse him in advance of fighting a bum next because you are just a hater.

                      Eddie has it right...

                      There is no way in hell I am paying $50 to $100 for a PPV... BUT I will gladly pay $10 a month or so to watching great boxing matches from anywhere, at any time.
