    Dazn’s announce team and overall broadcast production is so cringe

    Jesus I had to put the stream on mute and Sergio mora? What cave did they find him in??

    Everything about it would make me want to cancel and ask for a refund.

    I'm not big on Sergio Mora at all. He was basically blowing Danny Jacobs. It was weird.

    The team is not any different for me than Lampley and Merchant though. I couldn't stand Lampley or Merchant. And it wasn't just the "**** **** **** ****"...he was such a company man and just ran his mouth about whoever HBO was pushing at the time.

    I'm not thrilled by the DaZone team, but DaZone is ALREADY better than HBO and Showtime. I can rewatch the ENTIRE CARD in HD RIGHT NOW - TODAY - at any time I want. Neither HBO or Showtime ever made their rebroadcasts available for usually another week. In 2019...that is unacceptable.

      Brian Kenny is good. but Mora is awful. I do not understand why they chose a journeyman fighter as the head boxing analyst. The guys an idiot. Roy Jones should be given the job. And that woman was just plain dumb. They should pick someone like Rosie Perez, who actually understands boxing. That woman had no idea what she was talking about. She said something like (i'm paraphrasing) its was very odd strategy for Canelo's team to tell him to go to the body of Jacob's.

        **** I just made a thread about this too. They literally had andrade spell it out, "Get DaZone...D-A-Z-O-N-E".

        When you have to tell people how to pronounce your brand name then **** right off back to the drawing board. I do like the fact that they're getting more fighters under their banner, hopefully it hastens the collapse of Top Rank and Showtime and brings boxing into the 21st century. But yes the name ****ing sucks. It conveys nothing and means nothing. Not only do you need to learn how to say it but it doesn't even suggest a boxing channel to potential customers. It's like having a website that sells PS4 games called www.loko.com. Just more garbage from middle classes hipster marketing **** who think they're oh so clever and urban.

          Tbh, I liked Kendall Gill's commentary when he was on. I wouldn't mind him replacing Mora

            In their effort to come up with a cool name, they made it hysterically uncool. Maybe that sounds fresh in the UK but in the states, it sound like old business men trying too hard to be modern. If I was in marketing I'd honestly start asking the staff to call it "Daz-in" to try to save face.

            I've not heard it with Mora. I streamed the Sky cast and it was the ass end of awful. Carl Froch comes across as a clueless fanboy. For a guy who was a really solid boxer, he does a terrible job at commentary. Offers zero insights (which is the only reason to use boxers on commentary).

              Stop being so salty..

              DAZN is doing what other promoters could for the last 50 years.

                I have said that streaming and subscription service is the future that’s why showtime is messing up by letting their fighters go on all these different cable tv channels and that dazn and espn are on the right track but in no way is their production, team, and brand itself anywhere near showtime and espn and this is pure facts it’s almost unwatchable without a big name where as I could watch showbox or Friday night fights.

                  You guys are tripping. Sergio mora is the goods. He's always spot on.

                    DAZN commentary needs to be completely re-hauled. Just bring in the HBO commentators!!!
