I absolutely detest everything about DAZN's production so even though most fights will be on there I won't be resigning up
It's great that DAZN has unveiled a new UK Broadcasting team and Mike Costello is no longer a part of it. Huge improvement !
Costello might be no good but he’s streets ahead of Adam Smith and his ‘ narratives ‘. He was all over the place last night during the Hughie Fury fight cause Dave Allen kept saying that it was a stinker that needed to be stopped to save the crowd further punishment and Smith’s narrative was that Fury was still young enough to make a mark in the heavyweight division. Nice guy, horrendous commentator. I don’t need him telling me that a women’s 20 minute pillow fight is Hagler Hearns 2. It’s on DAZN, if you subscribe you’re hardly a casual.
Wow, them trustpilot reviews are quite telling indeed.. How have they got it so so wrong However Sky were pretty awful at first but Dazn been around a while now
Trustpilot is full of moans from people who want to vent. It is not a credible website. Its business model is to sell services for companies to "manage" their reviews, thereby reducing the reputational impact. They - and other sites like Tripadvisor etc - should not be taken seriously. Check the scores for other streaming services. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.skysports.com - 1.2 for Sky Sports https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/tntsports.co.uk - 1.3 for TNT Sports https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.discoveryplus.co.uk - 1.2 for Discovery+ https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.netflix.com - 1.4 for Netflix https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.virginmedia.com - 1.4 for Virgin Media DAZN deserve major criticism for things like their predatory 30 day notice period, unclear UX that sometimes traps users in a 12 month contract, etc. That said, most of what they do is very similar to TV and cable companies. My Virgin Media song and dance to avoid a huge price hike will be next month.
The New Broadcasting Team is even worse than the old team. Same bias, same shyte and not even remotely interested in objective commentary or analysis. Smith and Frampton were a disgrace last night.
Frampton was great on TNT but was talking crap last night and his scorecard was horrendous. With Adam Smith it may be a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder. This below sums it up. This content is protected
Parsons cocking around speaking to the ‘punters’ and Ali Drew reading mundane tweets off her phone like it was 2013 were some bizarre production choices. Like they’d suddenly decided Saturday was the night that Warren had brought across tens of thousands of casual fans who needed things dumbing down for them, when the entire rest of the show is still pitched at your typical hardcore fan who normally watches.
That's depressing news on Frampton. As you say he was really good on TNT. If they're turning them all into vapid cheerleaders I'll never renew.
Perfectly said. The only people subscribing to DAZN are by definition hardcore fans. They are paying an extra sub for boxing as there’s sod all else on there to watch. If they think that thousands of casuals have signed up cause Warrens on there they are completely delusional. Warren may be many things but he’s hardly KSI. Are we going to see him in a basketball shirt, swigging Prime and talking like he’s from Central LA ? They should be upping their production to appeal to the boxing fans who subscribe not dumbing down to benefit people who probably don’t know that DAZN exists.
