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

    DAZN is just another fragmentation of the networks. Same thing as being under PBC or ESPN. Whoever has the fighters under their network can (or won't) make the fights. Showtime and PBC have all the welters, DAZN has the middleweights, ESPN has random top fighters (Loma, Crawford, Fury).

        DAZN is the same as hbo and showtime was/is. If they weren’t then they wouldn’t have any PPV or entertain the idea. They are a little cheaper than an subscription to hbo showtime and once they have signed enough guys they are going to have all these PPV just like the others

          With one platform all the fighters under it, it erases two obstacles in making the big fights. Number is network issues. Number 2 is promoters trying to protect their fighters due to network issues. DAZN won't be giving away millions and continue to let fighters duck each other.

            Paragraph starts with: “We as boxing fans should not care about network and promoter issues.” and then writes a book about network and promoter bull****.

No more excuses about networks and money. With dazn, the best will fight the best. With hbo gone, there's no more issues now with hbo can't work with showtime. 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.
              What real boxing fan would want any network that carries boxing to fail? Learn to not hate.

                Yeah, it seems like Showtime will stop broadcasting boxing soon.

                  DAZN has 40 thousand downloads according to the App Store of the iPhone’s. And that’s with Canelo and AJ. They aren’t taking over ****.

                    That surely can't be right.

                      Exactly.

                      I honestly also don't see these good fighters they are talking about other than Usyk and Canelo. The rest are very average or below.
