    And when you consider silver spoon was handed a massive war chest by his chancer dad, suddenly that's not looking that great.

    If my old man handed me 20 million quid I'm sure I could have a business with 6 million in cash reserves pretty easily too

    It's time to face it Hearns is an awful businessman being kept afloat by Bazzas hard earned and very little else

    I kind of saw this coming when I started a thread a few months ago talking about how DAZN were having to pull back on payments for the international football rights that they had acquired.

    Adam Smith must be jumping for joy.

    A real shame if this goes under as it threatened to knock this PPV lark on the head

    Said from the off, it will never be profitable, the model doesn't work, it's almost like Setanta back in the day buying everything under the sun then selling it for £10 a month, the numbers just don't work, there is also no real reason to subscribe all year round, like the big kid fights like KSI etc, the kids will just use the trial or sub for a month then never sign up again

    So did your comment on July 19th saying you were leaving the British forum forever

    ''Won’t be posting in this section again. Enjoy the rest of the year everyone. Goodbye.''

    July 26th just 7 days later.............................

    You’ve gone back 3 years to bump a thread calling someone out because they criticised DAZN :lol: your loyalty to a platform you don’t even subscribe to yourself is baffling.

    It actually has. How can anyone claim DAZN and Hearn have been a success. They reneged very quickly on their biggest promises around subscription costs and no PPVs. They also failed to sign the stars Hearn went out for.

    DAZN UK and Eddie Hearn have little to be proud of. It has not gone as DAZN had thought in advance. This is why DAZN spends more money on Celebrity / Youtube boxing.

    DAZN UK is the worst value subscription in the world and will never make money.

    Once those annual subbers like me disappear next year due to being sold a pup, the losses are going to pile up.

    Don't think many annual subbers will fall for the same garbage again.

    DAZN UK simply do not care about any aspect of customer service.

    Even unsubscribing from emails etc is ignored and everybody soon to get the NFL Pass Email.
