    DAZN has got to be the biggest disappointment going...

    For all the money and the big talk they are no better than the other networks. Mismatch after mismatch and about the only star theyve built up is Jake Paul. Genuinely think even PBC is better than the crap they are showing

    I do the $99 a year and it's well worth it. Even just for 2 Joshua fights, 2 Canelo fights and 2 GGG fights each year, if there was nothing else on DAZN, I'd still gladly pay my $99.

    But if Canelo and GGG aren't going to fight each other, I just wish one of them would fight Andrade or Saunders already.

      Btw, did you SIGN my PETITION thread for your HERO GGG to go to PBC? https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...d.php?t=807696

      You still dancing around GGG highlight vids? Wise Up cause Hearn got Matchroom USA vs GBP on a great collision course. GGG vs Rolls 3 next year Cinco de Mayo doe

        Meh, these things take time. Boxing fans are fickle.

        They've been around in boxing how long? 18 months?

        In that time Rocky Fielding aside both of their superstars have been in tough competitive fights and one of them lost. GGG - the other star has been in a TOUGH 50/50. Their two promoters on the network rolled the dice and one of them lost (farmer)

        I think they are doing well, but it takes time to build a stable so you actually have enough rivals competition etc. The problem everyone is having is that each promotional outfit have a duty of care to the network they are working with to bring them good fights, so in a lot of instances fights are not getting made.

        It would be ideal if more of the promoters were fighting on the same platform...out of all the current, I would say DAZN or ESPN were the most likely to make that happen. I would be surprised if Fox are still in boxing in 2 years.

            He's frustrated that nobody talks about GGG anymore.

              How long have they been in boxing? Like 16 months? They are growing, they have had loads of politics and egos to deal with as well. But the intention to try and make fights is there, they have had issues from their own fighters and outside of their island too. But as long as they are trying to make fights with others from Island then I think we should all support them, i jumped off the PBC/Fox bandwagon when I knew they don’t want to work with anyone else. That business model in boxing is wrong, and as a fan I pray they die.

                The crowd was buzzing yesterday after the Linares and Ryan Garcia fights. Even the YouTube influencer/boxers in attendance were amazed.

                Maybe DAZN should just hand over the purse strings to Golden Boy instead of Eddie Hearn?

                  Im on the wrong side of the pond to get a true feel of DAZN but i can still see what they are selling and it looks a bargain for its annual price. And what are all these mismatches thats being talked about?

                    For me it’s more about their roster than the 99 bucks. If they had more fighters I cared about then I would be all in. I gladly spend twice as much on PPV’s to support the fighters I do like.
