    You’d be surprised with consumer theory. There are many people that actually auto-renew like that. Some people are lazy that they could be at the 4th month realizing that they’ve spent on $80... probably cancel it all together too... yet these same people will also most likely renew any time since DAZN is in for the stay.

    People need to realize that DAZN purchasing has a huge pool or $20 buyers and $100 buyers. All marketing schemes of course. At the end of the day it’s all about if you’re happy with the service.

      Ok but 95% of the fights aired were not worth the $8-9 per month.

      I have no problem if you feel it’s great value. I just find it odd that posters would complain about low quality fights when they weren’t paying a monthly fee are now posting that paying a monthly fee for low quality fights is value.

        You might just not like boxing as much as you think. Sh^t man you see the prices out there to attend fights? Its like $30 for sh^t seats at a decent card or $50 for ringside seats to club shows. HBO was like $15ish a month & if you don't give a f#ck about other sh^t so much that was $15 for boxing. And Showtime is doing that now. Boxing costs money to be a fan unlike most more popular sports & it always has unfortunately. And $8.25/mo is a great value for a show a weekend basically. Not to mention that you can re-watch easier than most other platforms.

          Of course I like boxing. Asking tough questions about a service shouldn’t be equated with not liking the sport. I am asking what is value.l?

          When low quality fights were aired on espn, bounce, and fox people were upset. Now many of those same people are celebrating paying for the same quality fights. I think we can agree that is somewhat problematic.

          Dazn picked up the wbss which has been great. but the fights they are making for the most part are low quality, save for a few. If coppinger is right, they didn’t approve Andrade as an opponent for Canelo in Sept.

          If Dazn is not going to make the best fights and just give their top guys easy wins, how is paying a monthly fee for that value?

          I don’t agree that the standard “ a show a weekend”? The standard used to be quality fights and if the network didn’t air quality we complained. That should be the same with dazn right?

          Or does the standard change because it’s no longer cable tv?

            Who's celebrating it? I & I suspect most fans would LOVE for boxing to be on regular TV like more major sports are. It is what it is doe.

            Dazn picked up the wbss which has been great. but the fights they are making for the most part are low quality, save for a few.
            I think Canelo, Joshua & WBSS make DAZN worth it. I don't disagree there are a lot of w/e cards on DAZN, but I also like watching w/e fights too so thats just added value to me. I mean think about it you were paying almost $200 a month just to watch Canelo fights til DAZN signed them.

            If coppinger is right, they didn’t approve Andrade as an opponent for Canelo in Sept.

            If Dazn is not going to make the best fights and just give their top guys easy wins, how is paying a monthly fee for that value?
            You think GGG is an easy win for Canelo? You need to go back & look at the scorecards fans hard here & other forums where one could argue GGG should be up 2-0 on Canelo.

            Is Canelo vs Andrade the best fight? To me thats the 3rd best fight to make right now. Canelo vs GGG has been ultra competitive 2 times already. And to me Canelo vs Charlo is a much better & competitive fight than Canelo vs Andrade. Hell man I think Canelo vs Derevyanchenko would be a more fun & better fight, but yea he don't deserve it as much as Andrade does.

              remind this poster how much you pay a month for ''premium'' cable service alone with a package, plus any additional expenses for side apps. Then multiply that by 12 and inform BufordTannen an approximation of American consumerism for sports entertainment.

              Bigdunny1, myself, and you included have given examples and variables of what many American homeowners are WILLING to pay.

              Bigjavi973 has also stated months before, in my threads, the amount of PPV's combined a year, assuming those PURIST boxing fans would buy them all in comparison for what you get with DAZN. That's just ''DAZN vs PPV'' not general premium packages.

              We've got dummies saying, you don't get movies with DAZN as you would with Showtime and HBO etc.. blah blah with these dumb posters not realizing their failed attempts to discredit DAZN while they're justifying HUGE expenses... lol... in other words, people are wiling to pay high premiums for everything else, but not DAZN.

              Dafuq outta herez! we's in da mean streets mayne!

                You think paying $100 for 6 quality fights and the rest mediocrity is worth it? Ok but that goes to my point about the standard- if pbc has only 6 quality fights and you pay nothing then pbc is said to be hurting the sport. This is what I don’t understand.

                Where did I post or suggest Canelo/ ggg was an easy fight?

                The bottom line is are fans going to hold Dazn to the same standard they held pbc and espn. If so, fine.

                If not, then I see that as a major issue because why would anyone pay for the same low quality fights they have been complaining about for a couple of years?

                I think it’s fair to hold Dazn to the same standard pbc and espn are held to.

                  So you still haven't found his source for those numbers which just so happens to be the same exact numbers as the Canelo fight. What a coincidence huh?
                  Bloomberg's reputation is enough for me, journalist's don't give up sources for a reason, because most of this info is insider information.

                    How much were most people paying to watch 2 Canelo fights prior to him signing with DAZN? Guessing it was more than $100. Those 2 Canelo fights a year make it worthwhile out of the gate.

                    Ok but that goes to my point about the standard- if pbc has only 6 quality fights and you pay nothing then pbc is said to be hurting the sport. This is what I don’t understand.
                    I'm not into all this gay platform bs. I like boxing. F#ck DAZN, PBC & ESPN. I'm watching fights w/e channel they happen to be on. If you weirdos wanna argue about who's hurting the sport or all that other meta sh^t feel free but the reality is we've been paying for boxing since the birth of the sport. If that changes thats great, but I'm not expecting it to happen. In fact I'm expecting for more sports to charge their fans to watch as we move into the future.

                    The bottom line is are fans going to hold Dazn to the same standard they held pbc and espn. If so, fine.
                    Yea idc about all that sh^t. I like PBC & ESPN for what they do thats good & I like DAZN for what they do thats good. And I'mma b^tch about the things I see is bad. But all 3 got different business models & I don't believe its been deemed what model is the best or will be the best in the future cuz honestly none of them is f#cking blowing me away right now. Spence STILL doesn't haven't a f#cking date for his next fight yet. Fury vs that German guy was among the most bs "big" fights on ESPN so far. And we're talking about the issues with DAZN right now. The reality is the problem is boxing is spread further apart than a camgirl trying to show me her kidneys for a couple bucks. Boxing's problem is f#cking boxing. It ain't got sh^t to do with the platform boxing is on. Put boxing on one platform & have rules & regulations that make some f#cking sense & boxing can be free or cost $300 a year & its better than anything we got right now.

                    I think it’s fair to hold Dazn to the same standard pbc and espn are held to.
                    Most mfers are just enjoying the fights they enjoy & dogging the fights they don't. You are talking to most of the mfers I got on ignore cuz they got ****** stances & opinions not most of us here who are chill & reasonable about sh^t. Most of us here don't think any of this has a f#cking thing to do with DAZN vs PBC vs ESPN.

                    Randomly some nutty mfers here have DAZN vs PBC some racial subgenre war or some such crazy f#cking sh^t like that which is hilarious to me but not surprising honestly.

                      I didn't say name the source. I asked what is his source. If you're familiar with journalism 101, as you claim to be. You know that statement should've had a source attached to it.

                      I.E. "DAZN now has 1.2 mil subscribers according to....(named or unnamed source or other publications citing those numbers)

                      The same way he sourced the baseball numbers. He said he got that info from a source within the company who didn't want to be named.

                      Do you understand?
