    100% agree with you. Boxers like BellendBellew have been spoilt with too much money. Ditto Whyte and now Chisora who said he wants to fight 3 times next year. Yeah of course you do mate with the paydays you get from Eddie!

    Problem is, I guarantee you that there will be plenty of new mugs born every year who will happily sign up to Sky Sports. Football doesn't give a monkeys about its fans so I don't see boxing being any different.

    I would like to see DAZN viewing figures after the AJ, GGG and Canelo fights. That will give a good understanding of global popularity and what drives DAZN subscriptions.

    I think some people will be surprised by the number of people who will tune into the GGG fight even though it is a poor fight.

    I've signed up as £1.99 is perfectly fine for a few fights. The on demand is key as that what will be attracting people, as you're gonna be hard pressed to find many people staying up to 5am outside of the hardcore unless it's a massive fight with a Brit. I imagine they'll slowly increase the price to see what the retention rate is after the inevitable take up because of the cheap opening price.

    It's got to have regular cards though, at least 3 a month as once the price creeps up towards that of other streamimg services, people will not hang around if there's not regular action.

    I hope it does well, but it'll have to stay cheap if it only going to be for boxing or heavily diversify over time as the price rises.

    Completely agree with Jurgen ( as I usually do ) and BXNG101 regarding Bellew Whyte and Chisora.it sickens me to think that Bellew and Whyte are multimillionaires but Chisora has 11 defeats and wants 3 PPVs in 2021. I would hope that no one on here would buy any of those. Feel free to get the rod and line out. He's the level of fighter who Frank Bruno used to knock out in 1 round. Probably still could.

    Chisora is barely above British title level, absolutely scandalous he can get away with main eventing PPVs. He’s lost every single time he has stepped up, and I’m not having the likes of Takam and Spilka as anything other than domestic level themselves. Just because they are foreign doesn’t make them better than what they are.

    Similar story with Whyte, at least he is sort of fringe world title level with that win over Parker.

    Just pure greed from fighters who have been brought up on the concept that being a PPV fighter is some holy grail, to the point that they won’t get out of bed for any less.

    And let’s not forget - Dave Allen was only a victory over Price from joining that bracket as well.

    Brilliant point about Dave Allen. The British Champion is Joe Joyce. He'd batter Chisora. Has Chisora ever been as good as Danny Williams once was ? What PPV fights are we getting with Chisora ? Whyte Chisora 3, end of January, no one wants to see that. Babic v Chisora. Fabio Wardley v Chisora. I can only imagine Hearn tempting Joyce or Dubois over to Matchroom ( as he appears to have done with Yarde ) and matching them with Chisora. What type of arsehole would pay £25 to see Chisora wheeled out again. Hearn would definitely try to sell those.

    This is exactly the problem. British level fighters not wanting anything less than PPV money. Now you've got Chisora and Whyte proclaiming themselves to be some kind of warriors who will fight anyone. Yes they will fight anyone, as long as it's on bloody PPV.

    Blame Eddie and Sky for that.

    Is there an on demand feature so you can rewatch the fights the following morning as US ring walk times are no good for me

    No Michael Buffer down the Mersey on Saturday and Gaby Logan was looking better with each drink consumed at the Angling Society Xmas Party.

    Quite a few on here were there, and although there was the odd panic when big waves hit, the coastguard was on standby to restore order within seconds.
