Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte II - August 12 // O2 Arena (DAZN PPV)

Confirmed that is me lost for good as a DAZN UK subscriber after this farce and feel absolutely mugged forking out £99 per year for a subscription up front.

Not a single penny will be parted to DAZN UK ever again regardless of fight.

 

If someone wants to watch this fight then cancel at the end of the month they have to pay 47 POUNDS.

 

If that £26.95 doesn't include a discount for current DAZN subscribers, then £26.95 is unacceptable.

As a current annual subscriber, I hope to see the price down to £16.95 or lower. They've made a few balls ups recently - mainly with the Sky channel "current members can't get this" fiasco, followed up by the correct response. I hope this goes similarly.

Re the fight, I posted this on another thread earlier, so sorry for recycling but it's relevant:

 

I can survive no problem without watching this type of fight but only the biggest fools will be sucked in for £47.

 

Really? That £26.99 is on top of subscribing for a month? Wow if so, I cannot see this doing well

For context I will be paying £26.99 begrudgingly (I've already paid the £99 for the year), however its not good and I'm not happy about it!

 

This non title fight not worth an extra 16p for exisiting subscribers.

 

It’s my understanding that you need to sign up to DAZN in order to buy the PPV. If someone doesn’t want to tie themselves in for a year then it’s £20/month for the flexible option plus 27 quid for the PPV. It’s disgusting tbh.

 

As an existing subscriber, I disagree. But respect your view.

 

Charge non subscribers PPV yes
Existing subscribers no

Never parting with a penny again for anything related to Matchroom or DAZN UK

 

Joshua’s currently getting work from Hunter and in a gym with Jermall, Errol, and Ryan, if this doesn’t get that pre Klitschko fire back in his veins nothing will.

Plus Whyte at his peak is way behind in terms of ability, is sloppy and has slow feet.

Joshua by devastating knockout within 9.

 

Think Joshua wins on points in a pretty dull fight. Both far too timid these days.

 

The only rematch that makes sense for AJ is a third Ruiz fight because Andy was however a champion for a brief period. But maybe he doesn't want one himself.

AJ could've chosen someone else from the top 25 even, why Whyte? That "rebuilding" is understandable, but just to some extent - he is supposed to have already been a "built" champion. He still plays it as he is big. Does he even consider if he beats Whyte after a poor performance against Franklin, but gets rolled on the canvas by Wilder? There will be no second "rebuild" - he'll be remembered as a total *hitpants (which he probably is already): lost to Ruiz, rematched, then facing the old man Pulev, then two losses against Usyk, two "rebuilding fights", and another loss.

 

You tarkin' rubbish fam... Whyte brings maximum violence everytime... Actually he brings **** all most of the time and was worse than Chisora v Fury and I had him losing by a point to Franklin. Safe but entertaining (in the build up anyway) tune up for AJ.

 

My favourite Whyte moment was when they had to let him sleep in a motorhome at Matchroom HQ instead of the fighters hotel as they reckon he’d have kicked off if he saw Povetkin the night before. The day later he gets knocked out and the main excuse was Whyte was being too nice

 

I'm already quivering in excitement for the Jaws theme followed by that absolutely spastic wolf howl.
