Somebody explain to me how DAZN is making it cheaper for boxing fans.

[BoxingIsGreat]

The only PPV worthy fight they've put on so far is Canelo vs. Jacobs.

Everything else they've shown has been FS1, ESPN, ESPN plus, ShoBox, Showtime, FOX, level cards. But they're charging more than than others. If you get the $100 plan it equals out to what Showtime charges.

Explain to me how paying more for boxing is cheaper. I'm all ears.

The bold: Nope. I wouldn't pay a cent for that on PPV.

Unless Canelo is fighting someone the caliber of Floyd, none of his fights are PPV worthy, and I'm a Canelo fan.

What about ESPN plus? $4.99 with way more fights and better quality fights.

?????????

Better quality fights? Name two. There were so many undercard-only events on ESPN+ That I ditched it months ago. Absolutely useless.

I am internet only and I freaking love DAZN.

I don’t know or care why you hate DAZN. If you don’t like it, just don’t pay for it. Stop whining.

Canelo vs Fielding is a PPV you would've bought?

What about Canelo vs Callum Smith?

You wouldn’t have bought Canelo vs Jacobs? That’s already $80 saved.

[Tom Cruise]

I think a lot of the DAZN cards are being shown on sky

Yep but Sky Sports is crazy expensive in comparison.

For one Sky Sports channel (not including all rest of the package you would need to get that channel) it’s Ł18 ($20+). For all the channels it’s over Ł30.

The price is high because they spent like Ł5billion on Premier League rights

you pick and choose the PPV you want to buy, if you buy dazn for the year you're pre-ordering a fight that isn't on the books.

that said, it's a lot of lower level boxing for not a ton of money. and then you mix in a canelo fight once in a while. if joshua - wilder gets on dazn i'll really be impressed, but i really cannot imagine that being the case. ppv and a big casino in las vegas has been the model for making a ton of f#cking money in this sport for a while, and i don't think that will change during the careers of wilder or joshua. the next big thing may very well fight entirely on an internet platform. canelo already does.

Same. I canceled a few months in. If they start showing the full cards on ESPN+ I'll sign back up, but til then I'm watching streams for ESPN sh^t cuz thats what I had to do already when the main event started lol. Its beyond ******ed they don't show all the main events on ESPN+.

DAZN isn't perfect by any means, but its basically HBO Lite right now with under a year in the boxing game with Canelo, GGG & GBP all in the mix along with the extra upside of Joshua & I like the Devin Haney move. Idk how you can consider yourself a boxing fan & not have DAZN already. And if they keep moving like they've moved in year one in year two sh^t is only gonna get more impressive.

- -You just summed it up.

You're all ears and no brains.

Literally the best Showtime card this year by far (Wilder/Breazeale) has significantly less hype than the 3rd best DAZN card (Joshua/Ruiz).

Due to some Russian billionaire, DAZN is buying out the competition and running the show this year.

Maybe the money will dry out in the future, but best believe we're enjoying DAZN until then lol.

[Death_Adder]

Those are the months I cancel. But now that The Chi is on I'll carry it until the season is over. And I'm about to watch that Wutang doc.

What are you watching on DAZN this week?

Why exactly would I want to watch The Chi or Wutang? Those are black people shows, they do not interest me.


Sell me on it. Sell me on why I should subscribe to Showtime and cancel DAZN? I don't like any of their shows. I can stream any movie they're showing. None of their upcoming fights interest me, Beyoncé vs Brassiere?(no thanks I'll be watching John Wick 3 that night)

Their upcoming schedule is a joke and I'm not going to be paying anymore for PPVs.

You are right about a lot of lower level boxing for not a ton of money. Knowing this, if I came to you and asked you to pay $19.99 a month for FNF, SHOBox, BAD and Bounce Cards and 2 Canelo PPV's, would you be willing to do it?

I think the 2 Canelo fights are great deals but the other 10 months is it?
