Why is DAZN so purposefully bad?

[elfag]

I wish they could make a half decent 24/7 to get me hyped for the fights.

I tried to watch the last one for AJ - Ruiz and the first introduction is ***ing Stallone talking about ****** chit. I dont want to see stallone or DJ khalid or any of those other dumb celebrities that dont know chit about boxing... Is it that ***ing hard to go film their camp and just give us some updates on chit? I would rather watch Jeff Mayweather on youtube walk around and ask random guys in his gym who they think is going to win than listen to celebrities read off a script.

They show good fights at weird times.

I missed both live versions of Donaire vs Inoue and Joshua vs Ruiz II because I was at work.

Sure I watched them when I got home, but I missed it live and found out who won through other people.

This is on top of the 1+ hour delay of the Canelo vs Kovalev fight to accommodate UFC.

I pay for a bunch of apps and I will say DAZN is by far the worst one I pay for. I’d give it maybe 2.5 stars out of 5.

You uh, realize that Saudi Arabia is in a completely different time zone, right...? You realize that, right?

That’s the point. Don’t ask me ****** questions.

DAZN has all this power to force fights with money, but supposedly no control over fight location.

DAZN deserves the crap for the Canelo vs Kovalev delay but they have nothing to do with the promoters getting the $$$ and having the fights in Japan and Saudia Arabia. You rather have them tape delay the s*it?

They show the fights when they happen. Good enough for me

OP is American. OP feels Boxing across the world should schedule itself around him and other Americans. Maybe the OP needs to question just how much of a Boxing fan he really is.

I’m not American. I’m from the Caribbean islands.

I don’t need to question anything, and I don’t need to answer to a troll whose existence on the forum is to argue with others non stop, in a very childish and unrealistic manner.

Do what I do bud.

If a fight interests me and I know I can catch it, order DAZN for that month.

Just as I did for Canelo vs Kovalev, I also did for AJ vs Ruiz 2.

I cancelled my subscription and if something else interests me in the future, I'll be back.

Even if you cancel, you still have the whole month to catch a fight or two

So since I will be getting results before I see the fights from other people, google news feed, etc, and won’t be able to see the fights live, would you say that Americans shouldn’t have DAZN? And DAZN shouldn’t be promoted to Americans but instead to the rest of the world?

Luckily I bought DAZN for Canelo and GGG fights. If it wasn’t for them two being on it, I would have passed. Their fights will likely always be shown at a proper time for Americans.

Sounds like a good idea tbh. I mean I rather pay $100 for a whole year but it’s not like DAZN puts out good fights every month. And given the comments in this thread towards Americans and who DAZN is for, it doesn’t sound like DAZN is geared to the American public anyway. But the fights they do show live on Saturday nights for Americans, I think they’d be worth paying for DAZN that month, you’re right. Sounds like I can just stream the other fights that are aired at 5am or 4pm or whatever. Why am I going to have an app where I can’t watch live fights? I can probably catch Joshua vs Ruiz II for free elsewhere. And due to their unprofessionalism so far, I don’t think it’s worth having for a whole year. If timezones were their only issue, i’d keep it. But they just fail at almost everything.

DAZN's production value stinks. One would think when people paying $20/month they won't need to play commercials during the main event. They should of copied the way HBO did it. When the fight started all that mattered and all that HBO concentrated on was the fight. No commercial breaks, no talking to celebrities during the fight, etc. Between every round HBO went to the corners, DAZN does no show that kind of commitment to the fight they are actually showing. People may have legit complaints about their announcers, but HBO's production value and camera work was excellent. DAZN is cheap in comparison to HBO.

Good points.
The guys running DAZN probably make great money but I don't think they get what make a good show.
It's true boxing on HBO was an excellent production
Someone should make the DAZN executives watch a few "Boxing After Dark" shows, they might learn something.
