Matchroom Schedule

Glad to see Eddie Earn took note of my post yesterday and moved Okolie to Sunday

 

Lawrence 'The Polish Assassin' Okolie

 

This is a forum for boxing fans, hard-core fans if you will, but the amount of people on here who greet any upcoming fights threads with ' I won't be watching ' always amuses me. Surely a fan, not a casual, a knowledgeable fan, would want to see many if not all the fights. I do. I know watching alot of what we're sold can stick in the throat a bit but can a real fan go Feb and March and not watch any of those shows. Brook Khan, no thanks, Taylor Catterall, mismatch, Eubank Williams, second rate. Doesn't sound like a fan to me. Yes, there's alternative ways to view but not watching at all then regularly posting on a boxing forum......thats bizarre.

 

Many times unexciting cards and fights on paper ends up with unexpected cracking fights and overhyped fights such as Joshua v Parker/Takam/Ruiz 2 etc end up stinkers.

Most people on here do find a way to watch whether a subscriber or in a bar.

Glad to see fights being announced and looking forward to finding out when Shanny is regaining her World Title.

 

Eddie Hearn reminds me of Baron von Münchhausen in a 2022 edition.

 

People like to vent a little, and have a little moan. We always tune in come fight night. There was no way I was going to get up in the middle of the night and watch the Fury - Wilder fight.. Who was I kidding.

 

Not sure what the posts above are on about when talking about Dazn bankruptcy claims.

I’ve seen nothing of the sort posted in any of these threads

 

I planned to go to bed and get up at 4am for Fury v Wilder 3, watched the first fight and all of a sudden, I am going to bed at 6am wide awake having watched a very good undercard and cracking main event.

 

That's anecdotal though and in no way an indicator of how many subscribers DAZN has.

We've had AJ PPVs before where posters will say "none of my friends are buying it" or "nobody is talking about it" so expect it to bomb.

The numbers then come out and the ppv was a huge success.

Personally I feel if DAZN was really struggling and the subscription numbers were ridiculously low we would see some leaks from those in the industry who can get access to the data.

When eleven sports launched in the UK it didn't take long for the media to report on how the service was struggling to attract subscribers.

 

Yes and the other side of the coin is that there is no evidence available to back up any claims made by Edward Anthony Blair Earn

 

Why watch highlights of something like chocolatito vs Estrada?? It’s one on the best fights and trilogies of the last decade. You can also watch the whole show start to finish immediately after it end. With DAZN you can literally wake up Sunday morning and watch the whole thing. If you only watch highlights of a fight like that then that’s incredible

 

That’s definitely not the case though is it. I know for a fact they have a solid core subscriber base and funding that will eventually drive themselves into the biggest sports platform in the world. Just because big Dave down your boozer doesn’t have it doesn’t mean no one does. You’d be surprised at the demographics of the subscriber base.
DAZN and Sky are gearing all of their content at under 40s that will consume the content for the next 20 years

 

I wasn't referring to you mate, just the majority of the responses I read said they were only interested in 1 or 2 fights. The Super-Flyweight fights are great fights - the previous ones were FOTY contenders. Obviously they are early in the morning, but you can just watch them on the Sunday afrerwards.

We haven't seen the undercards yet either for some of these events.
