    The WBSS has provided some solid match ups but if that is going away after season 2, then DAZN definitely takes a hit. A good match up they were going to provide was Andrade vs BJS but obviously we know what happened there. Usyk/Bellew was solid and so was Joshua/Povetkin. I trust GBP to put on some good cards, but the upcoming schedule really isn't anything to get excited for either. Hearn seems to feel he can put multiple names on a card and sell that, even though the names are fighting no hopers. Look at Linares fighting Cano on the January 18 card. To be fair, Miller/Bryan isn't bad at all but the rest will be mismatches.

    They need to sign GGG badly and get him a marquee fight against Andrade or Jacobs or even Canelo. Putting on Canelo/Lemieux like they were supposedly planning isn't going to get it done. Farmer keeps fighting in mismatches and he has another one in March. Meh.

      Bae isn't very smart I see. Isn't matchroom on DAZN?

      You're not smart enough to make that connection? Whats your IQ?

          If you want people to keep their subscriptions you have to give them a reason to do so and right now DAZN just doesn't have enough and no Canelo is not enough because he only fights 2-3 times a year so people can just Subscribe and Unsubscribe when they do show good fights.

          Wasn't a good 1st Impression for Casual Fans! We the Hardcore Boxing Fans will watch no matter what but this APP doesn't work with just Fickle Hardcore Boxing Fans Support Only. Hopefully that make some upgrades because it is a Nice APP with the POTENTIAL to be something great they just don't have the content right now. No, just signing more boxers doesn't fix it, they need more CONTENT, more popular SPORTS to draw in more Casual Sports Fans

              How do you see them pulling out of this?

              Canelo is a good signing

              GGG would be a good signing

              But if they aren't fighting every other month what's going to keep people paying $10/mo when there's nothing else on the app to watch except for non Canelo/GGG fighters fighting every other weekend?

                They have other good fighters on their roster that can still keep people interested but yes obviously canelo is the star. When they get those gaps and downtimes in between fights they should release more interviews and training footage of these fighters for their upcoming fights something that can still keep the audiences attention.

                Also Not a fan of the commentators hopefully they change that soon.

                  Like who? What fighters on their rosters were headlining and getting good ratings before they signed to DAZN?

                  .
                  People can find that stuff on youtube. And it costs money for them to fly out to fighters camp. Film, produce, edit. A guy with a Youtube channel in NY can got to Miller's gym and get footage and have it up on youtube the same night

                    Personally, I have a hard time seeing real longevity from them. Sure they can sign a couple huge stars and offer giant contracts, but to protect that investment they sure won't put those stars in dangerous fights.


                    Fighters should be paid not only via their popularity, but also on the level of their competition, otherwise the motivation is more Rocky Fieldings.

                      Joshua for sure. Jacobs did pretty good ratings on hbo. They got Usyk. They got entertaining vets like rosado and rios.

                      True they can but DAZN is gonna have to do something to keep the audiences attention when there is no fights. HBO did it with countdowns, jim lampleys show, etc.
