    I think you might have misunderstood me mate and that's partially my own fault as I could have worded my post better but when I mentioned that we've had some great cards since DAZN entered the scene my point wasn't that DAZN are putting on great cards all the time but that their business model is proving something of a potent catalyst for generating healthy competition between them and their rivals, resulting in better cards across the board.

    Fact is that a lot of casuals and even some journalists were making a lot of noise about boxing being dead at the beginning of 2018 but all in all it turned out to be a pretty good year for the sport would you not agree? And sure, the majority of cards weren't all that great but the few which were halfway decent more than made up for it with plenty of cracking fights at JMW, MW, SMW, LHW, CW and HW; even the lower weight classes enjoyed something of a boost in popularity with a number of class acts emerging and putting on some great performances.

    Hoping that eventually some of the big fights we want to see like Spence vs Crawford, Lomachenko vs Davis and AJ vs Wilder will actually get made but I'm doubtful at the moment.

    TL;DR Personal bias aside, having DAZN in the mix is good for boxing as a whole.

    No one nowhere has said ****.
    For all I know they could be sitting on just 1k subs.

    But seeing the names they have, it doesn't quite make sense that only 80k have signed up. But wtf do I know?

    And btw, you are playing the exact same game. "Just going on your personal feelings huh? LOL"
    Nobody knows the numbers. They could be really, really low. They might be doing OK or they might be doing really well.

    Nobody has said they are high. Sheet loads of people in the business have said they're low. I guess "nobody knows" though LOLZ

    Who are those insiders?
    All I have seen are a few people on forums and twitter.

    And I am not saying the numbers are high. I was just pointing out that nobody really knows.

    You never give up do you? LMAO.

    Get yourself on google. Loads of people in the business have said the numbers are awful. Even DAZN have said they're not where they want to be.

    Maybe stop shooting down people who say the numbers are low until you have a reason to do so. As it is, there is reason to believe they're bad and no reason to believe they're good. Accept it, move on and find another way to push your agenda.

    No entire ****ing point was that no one knows the numbers.
    And I found it odd that someone was quoting 80k.

    Supposedly no one knows what the numbers are. If the rumors are that they are low, then so be it. Maybe it is the case.

    Pay for an entire year of boxing including two Aj fights and two Canelo fights for the price of a single PPV. How will network tv ever recover?

    $99 for a year is a great price for what you get in an entire year.

    Some of you are just super cheap.

    What price would you be happy with?

    Let's hope DAZN can keep losing money long term to subsidise the Canelo fights. It's a win win for the fans as long as they do! :)

    HAHAHAHAHA

    Good one. If nobody knows, why you so insistent then?

    All indications are that the numbers are awful. Not my opinion, just the fact of the matter.

    :lol: What indications? Some heresay?
    Rumors are not facts :deal:

    And I was insistent on the fact that nobody really knows, not what the actual numbers are. You are the one who twisted what I had said.
    I found it odd that someone quoted 80k, especially considering they had signed Canelo AND the fact that DAZN doesn't release any numbers.
