    Let's see the numbers - very happy to eat Humble Pie or even Maya Jama if wrong.

    The public in Liverpool are a good indicator being a city with a huge boxing fanbase for years.

    Absolutely nobody subscribes to DAZN UK but many admit to subs for Sky Sports, BT Sports, Netflix and Pornhub

    Is this some sort of female sex toy?

    That is pony for fans of those countries requiring another sub - another broadcasting competitor for DAZN UK and another huge blow to the Little Mix of Sport.

    I actually don't like to access stuff incorrectly, but it is at the point where it isn't realistic for people to pay for everything.

    I pay for things I feel is correct, and don't with others.

    I am a Sky Sports and BT Sports subscriber viewed as a mug but understand why the other subscription is very popular when you look at the number of payments required to watch live sport these days.

    TV Live
    Sky Sports
    BT Sports
    Premier Sports

    Delayed Broadcasts on Streams
    Amazon Prime
    ViaPlay
    DAZN UK

    Box Office
    Sky Sports
    BT Sports
    DAZN UK

    It will end up like Matchroom Boxing with much of the sports content simply out of sight out of mind.

    This Taylor vs Serrano fight is a strange one.

    Has obviously sold massive tickets in America, yet I don't know anyone than a few Matchroom fans on twitter who give a shite it's even on.

    I have minimal interest but will watch the Stevenson fight on Sky

    In the UK, Matchroom shows seem hidden away. Very minimal hype.

    Viaplay has just been launched in the Netherlands with huge success. Viaplay is a streaming service with big financial muscles behind it. NENT is in the process of acquiring attractive UK Sports rights. They're doing right now what I thought DAZN UK would do.

    Ah ok, just never heard of them before this.

    Does seem really weird that DAZN are willing to wildly overspend on boxing to get a market foothold, but will only pay exactly what they feel is correct on all other sports.

    It's not because I want to be negative about DAZN UK but I do not understand why they do not invest in some serious UK Sports Rights that could really lift and mark their platform ? I having a hard time taking them seriously in the U.K. ? It can not only be Matchroom events and women's football that should get customers in the store ?

    Viaplay is the fastest growing streaming service in the world right now and they are becoming a serious competitor to DAZN UK.
