I would rather pay 20 bucks for one month than 75 or higher for one card that may just have one fight on it I want to see. I'll be canceling DAZN after Canelo vs Jacobs as there isn't anything they have going on outside of boxing that I watch

Technically its not wrong.
And thats the funny thing with boxing...we've been PAYING to VIEW fights since day 1 more or less. Before PPV there was closed curcuit. Before closed circuit you had to pay to watch fights a week or w/e later at theaters. And before that you could only see fights you PAID to VIEW live at the event. Thats the problem with boxing being a highly profitable free market like no other game niche sport.
But I will say this DAZN pricing is going to be a problem sooner or later cuz its about the highest monthly price ($20) there is right now & I still say DAZN is giving less overall quality in fights & fighters than Showtime (which you can get for like ~$7 on YT) & ESPN ($5). Granted things are looking up with GBP & GGG coming to DAZN now, but still of the things that have happened since DAZN started I see them as the 3rd place platform despite their potential. And f#ck man even back when HBO was the All Star Team & cutting cord options weren't in play they were charging about $20 iirc but you got a whole lot more quality & side sh^t if you enjoy movies & series'. If DAZN acquires the NBA, NFL or MLB games at some point it seems like the price would have to rise or they'd need to offer by the sport options.

Pay PER VIEW = a single event. Never in boxing history has there been a Pay Per Month concept INCLUDING MARQUEE NAMES!
There’s no other way to spin this. How do you explain Show or ESPN+ subscribers whom have to pay an additional buck for a marquee fight, hence PPV on top of their regular subscription?
Again, there’s no other way one can spin it. PER VIEW = Single Event

If its one time or once a month or once a year its still money out of pocket to enjoy boxing.
If its a good price or overpriced for 1 fight or a good price or overpriced for several fights to full cards in a month its still an expense we pay as boxing fans. Thats all technically paying to view boxing.
