    $10 a month for Sky Sports fights is reasonable.

    And unlike ESPN+ they have been adding new fights to their vault everyday, already have quite a few and growing.

    That’s interesting. I’ve been looking for info on this but haven’t found much. What kind of stuff do they have? I missed a **** ton earlier this year in the summer when I was on vacation and it’d be nice to have the Matchroom card I missed available lol

    Yeah, boxing, mma, soccer, cricket, cycling, and something called AK & Barak I haven't watched yet. It looks like a 2 man interview team, they have a video talking to Joshua and another talking to Hearn. Plus a growing on-demand vault. It's worth my $9.99 so far, especially with all the cards coming up.

    I want to get DAZN 'Dazone'.

    It's funny how Frank Warren teamed up with ESPN in a bid to counter Hearn/DAZN teaming up lol ... he described himself as an innovative promoter not a survivor yet he is one step behind hearn always loooool!!!

    That's surviving in my book.

    Plus DAZN is the future, just like Netflix was a success.

    Say goodbye to long contracts and fiddly tv boxes.

    I agree, makes me wonder how long the nice and friendly relationship between Dazn and Sky will go on because surely if DAZN does what they say... it has a place in the UK market just like Netflix. I think eventually Sky will have to evolve into an online platform.

    DAZN will not launch in the UK until they are in a position to gain rights for major sports. Think it's gonna be a a good few years before that happens.

    They did in the USA, haha.

    What fights do they have on archive that I can’t find on Youtube?

    They have a few and it actually shows the full fight,like Parker vs Whyte.

    My only gripe with the DAZN is picture a little grainy 9 but its slight ) and they do have some fights that do not show them in there entirety.....

    They also skip walk outs and in between rounds which aren't very important but sometimes I like to see what the corners are doing.

    Its well worth it if you are not in the U.k bc streaming is a real pain and struggle...watching on the app is way more convienent and I also follow MMA so that's a plus for me.

    Its not going to be great off the bat ...they do need to add a lot more fights to this and make exclusive in depth interviews and training converage to entice more boxing fans.

    Its a welcome addition if you can afford 10 dollars a month and think its worth it not to miss some fights you would otherwise as I have been doing.

    Rumor has it Hearn outlined a plan after watching GI Joe and is structuring a Cobra plan below to take over entire U.s currency using DAZN platform....

    If the picture is grainy in the slightest that needs to be top priority — streaming services that aren’t the highest degree of HD aren’t going to cut it in a pay subscription model. That’s a deal-breaker.

    For archived fights, they need to digitize the f—- out of them to it looks as much as possible like they were filmed yesterday with the best existing technology.
