    The only fights you can watch as a normal DAZN customer will be crap cards. The rest will be PPV.

    This is a worrying development. Does DAZN's management believe that there is a basis for 10 PPVs per year ?

    There are not many DAZN UK subscribers these days, the current business model will never be viable and people really need to have a word with themselves if still paying DAZN UK even a penny after developments over the past 18 months.

    The DAZN UK subscription is the worst in the world by a mile and if a few hundred people keep giving, DAZN UK and Hearn will continue taking.

    What a shocking card DAZN is delivering sod all in the UK even the Queen of pitter patter Katie Taylors next fight is on Netflix that's at least something that's usually on there but not even that now.

    So listening to Hearn, this card was basically "His Excellency" playing Top Trumps again. Came up with a few fights and put up the money and all done in a few days. No broadcaster announced yet as the Saudis haven't decided and it sounds like the promoters involved are basically only facilitating things rather than matchmaking.

    How long until these major promoters are no more than management stables? Saudi does its own promotion, they'd be as well buying out the promotional contracts for fights in a few stables and setting up a global league like UFC.

    Meanwhile DAZN gets the scraps.

    Saudi currently don’t have any plans to build fighters in the first 15-20 fights of their career. They only want mega fights. So plenty of promoters have gaps to sign and build fighters then work with Saudi. The bigger worry would be for the sanctioning bodies. There have been grumblings they are concerned about the creation of their own undisputed boxing champion belt for Usyk vs Fury and Bivol vs Beterbiev and the plan is to make their undisputed championship the true boxing champion viewed by fans

    Besides all the good fights that Saudi has coming up, it would suit me fine if they create their own belt and title.

    WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO are all corrupt.
