Boxing fans had so many complaints about DAZN during Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs fight
DAZN, the subscription-based streaming service that is the home of boxer Canelo Álvarez thanks to an 11-fight, $365 million deal they signed last October, didn’t have a good showing in Saturday night’s big fight between Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs.
Fans had a number of complaints throughout the broadcast, ranging from a snafu during Jacobs’ walk out to the ring, to bad streaming quality, to claims of the commentators being to pro Alvarez, who won the fight via unanimous decision, during the fight and more.
It all started before Jacobs even made the walk out to the ring, as many customers had a problem getting the app to work after paying for it.
Seems like this was an issues for a bunch of people:

So, yeah. Not a great night for DAZN.
Lmao the DAZN fanboys are going to blame this on Haymon. That crappy low budget app isn’t going to do anything but hurt boxing in the long run.
It was up against it's own bad streams and inability to meet consumer demand.
Can't believe this half a f@g suddenly doesn't know how to find something on the internet but can find obscure videos when they suit his agenda.
GTFOH and do your own research.
Lol. If there were bad streams there wouldn’t be any news for peak or “concurrent live streams.” How do a multitude of live streams maintain views if there’s nothing to see on screen?
