    I could give a fluck at this point about comparing. I just need more boxing.

    ESPN + is cheap enough to do month by month since I got it for Yarde vs Kovalev.

    No fights prior were worth even the 5 bucks it costs.

    DAZN I just went ahead and paid the year. I was getting the 9.99 price a month it originally started but I missed Ruiz-Joshua, Cancio-Machado etc since I expected blowouts. Was I wrong, won’t make that mistake again.

    At the end of the day, I need more boxing!

      I plan on seeing the Beterbiev-Gvozdyk fight, but miss me with the other three cards.

      Still, I'll be at the usual spot to see Kovalev-Canelo, and in all likelihood Derevyanchenko-Golovkin, but I'm unlikely to spend much time trying to watch the Prograis card at 5pm ET, or the Joshua fight at 2pm ET.

      Two shows, maybe 3, for the Fall slate that I'm likely to make the move to see.

        So you have no interest in Andy Ruiz vs Joshua? What the heck kind of boxing fan are you?

            DAZN USA have the bigger fights but couldn't bring it on Prime Time so all they got is Canelo v Kovalev to compete in this market
            Christ it really hurts you to give DAZN a little bit of credit don't it. You ant say something positive without making sure you put a negative even though nobody's asking about times.

              At 12pm in the afternoon, for conference championship week in college football?

              Nah, I'm good; will maybe follow along with the scorecard here, but won't expect to be more involved in it than that, especially if the matchups matter.

              Beyond that, let's be honest with what that fight is; it's a rematch of a banana skin fight, where Ruiz was getting his ass kicked, before he clipped Joshua behind the ear.

              If you're expecting some wildly different fight than that, that's on you.

                I see how deep your love of boxing really goes. Not very.

                That's cool, though. Not everybody is a hardcore fan.

                  I'll watch each of the listed DAZN cards. Top Rank I'll watch the Gvzodyk and Crawford cards. PBC I'll watch the Spence and Wilder cards.


                  From the quality of cards to end 2019, it seems like a really big quarter for DAZN. I wonder how that will correlate to subscriptions.

                    Will watch good fights, and will not watch fights that don't look good; will miss the occasional good fight, but would rather do that than shovel through bull**** all the time.

                    Not a bottom barrell junkie for boxing; have interests in more things than that.

                      Absolutely DAZN. The Beterbiev vs The Nail fight is the only big/fun fight on ESPN.
