DAZN Offers

British boxing has virtually disappeared from my TV now, bar the odd offering from Channel 5 and whatever the BBC may pick up.

If sky are no longer going to air the late night top rank fights I think I'll be left to boxing gold replays of old fights. Time to retire to the classic section.

 

So after Queensbury joined up with DAZN I paid for a subscription. I can afford it and will get my moneys worth. So this evening after a run, hearing about the card in Ghana and after catching up on Clarksons Farm thought I would watch the rest of the Ghana card.

Well **** me it's a PPV. What sort of lunatic would pay for an obscure card on an obscure streaming platform. Crazy. What are Amir Khan promotions thinking? Or DAZN.

 

Wasn't that card streamed on Talksport YouTube?

 

Yes it was, Spencer Oliver was over in Ghana, and promoting it on Talk Sport’s Thursday boxing hour.

 

DAZN has gone from PPV is dead to having twice as many PPV’s a year as Sky ever did.

 

Deontay 'Washed Up' Wilder's upcoming fight v Tyrrell Hardon is on yet another subscription channel BLK Prime and wait for it - this is on BLK Box Office.

 

Bloody hell. Never picked tthat nugget of info up ‍♂️

 

The most shocking thing is that DAZN is planning Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte to be on PPV.

How many people is ready to pay for such a mismatch ?

 

They're taking the ****! Even though I'm missing boxing I just don't have any urge to sign up for DAZN. The one selling point that they went so big on was the absence of PPV, now it seems like any halfway interesting fight comes with an additional fee. I get that they couldn't make their previous model to work financially, but their choice now, a subscription covering a load of stuff that doesn't really appeal and then charges for any halfway decent boxing card just makes it seem like a backwards step from the Sky/ BT sport model that they disrupted. Just wish they'd never come along to begin with.

 

Spot on as usual. There is nothing that makes a mockery of a sport, the noble art, with a history of well over 200 years ( the whole of time really ) , and the amazing warriors that have entered the ring, than people like Haney, Canelo, that Cuban/German guy, Garcia etc getting paid so much they don’t bother. They are killing the game. To misquote Larry Holmes ,they are not fit to hold the jockstraps of the greats and the not so greats who have left it all in the ring. Throw in the PPVs on an APP and the bells are tolling. Haney and Canelo in particular, are an embarrassment to this great sport and the sooner they are gone the better.

 

I'm still waiting for DAZN to introduce a one year subscription where PPVs are included.

 

The Deadzone World Club Egg Cup 'Live' Stream is a full 21 secs behind the Bet365 live stream for the PSG v Atletico Madrid match.

Shocking

 

You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly my point and I don't understand it.

DAZN / His Excellency doesn't really need all these PPVs as their events are financed in an alternative way

 

I fully understand that the big fights can only be financed through PPV, but the way DAZN runs their business with countless PPVs doesn't make for many happy customers.
