    HAHAHAHA

    Whatever you say bro! Keep up the amazing impartial commentary. LOLZ

    Fingers crossed DAZN's numbers will increase when Canelo fights his first proper PPV for the platform.

    HAHAHAHA

    You seem to claim that happens to you often. It must be highly frustrating LOLZ.

    Fingers crossed Canelo does what he was paid to do and gets DAZN back on track. I'm confident he will.

    Ourt of interest if DAZN continues to grow and you end up getting 2-4 cards a month including Canelo vs Jacobs and AJ fights etc for $99 a year why do boxing fans not want this to work?

    It makes no sense to continue paying for cable and $75 PPVs every 2 or 3 months when we are being given a legitimate cheaper options with some good fights.

    Here's the reality, not just in boxing but in every sport today. They are all grossly overpaid. Why do I say this? Because they are making it impossible for the average American to come to watch a ballgame or bout. Tickets to college games should sell for $10 and for pro games $20. In other words, it should be affordable for people to go out to the ballgame, with their family, if they choose.

    Grossly overpaid and in the case of boxing and MMA grossly inactive, for a so called 'elite' level fighter in either sport you're lucky if they fight twice a year and then of course there's the nonsense of too many belts and 'name' boxers having control over who they fight which most of the time leads to avoiding other 'name' fighters.
    So yeah I'm pleased that DAZN has some big names signed up but how often will they fight and will they be giving the fans the fights they want ?? Doubt it if I'm being honest.

    Super weird how people want a new platform that is looking to make big fights fail just because Eddie Hearn is involved. I don't like Haymon but would have been all for PBC had it be getting good fights made consistently rather than the sit on the shelf and fight once a year for a decent payday against an overmatched opponent model they ended up going for.

    If you don’t cancel and enjoy boxing year round it’s cheaper. But this still does not answer the question. Why would you not want it to work?

    HAHAHAHAHA! That's the most on-brand response you could have posted!

    In this thread, multiple times. All you ever do is chat a load of agenda driven balls and then cry about being misinterpreted and mis-quoted once you get called out. It must be a hard hard life for you LMFAO!!!!!

    Canelo is big business and clearly DAZN's franchise star. Let's simply agree that DAZN did a great thing signing him and raising the prices before all the subs come in for his first proper PPV on DAZN is a super smart move. I'll no doubt help alleviate some of their obvious financial concerns.

    The yearly price is a great deal. If you only fancy watching 2-3 shows a year, the $19.99 is fine.

    As I said previously, if I was in states, I'd be all over DAZN and ESPN+. I like boxing, I want to watch boxing.

    You haven't thought this through.

    Do you think they have enough subscribers yet to make a profit? Not a chance. They will run at a loss for years, that's a gIven in any business plan they created. Raising the one month price won't impact that in the slightest.

    They launched with a headline grabbing price to generate initial interest. They attract some early adopters and some casual shoppers, they now amend their pricing model to encourage customers to become long term subscribers, because those are the sort of customers that this model depends on.

    They are doing this in advance of their strongest content offering to date, a fantastic Canelo v Jacobs followed by the US debut of Joshua. They are seeking to make as many of the new subscribers long term customers as possible and with no contract the 9.99 per month option would make that Difficult. Hence they changed the proposition. If anything it's a declaration of strength, it's saying 'we can afford to lose out on some of the casual shoppers because we don't need to chase any kind of customer'.
