Any card above average interest is on Box Office and that kills public interest in a DAZN UK subscription for 99.99% of the great British public. The odd decent card may be on there but still not close to justifying those sub prices.
I've just this moment unsubscribed due to them locking out (ie PPV) the Oldham v Southend PO Final. They can get "various expletive words" out. Saved myself £14-99 pm.
Like others, I'll now, with DAZN Shows, use the highlights on YouTube as my source. Awful business model.
A few years ago I was very excited about His Excellency and Saudi's big money investment in Boxing but today I am more divided on that issue. Today it is almost impossible to get 2 boxers of reasonable level to face each other - unless there is a lot of money involved. We didn't have that problem before Saudi's entry into boxing.
I can give or take the Saudi shows now. The constant showing on screen of Turki, the crap atmospheres, interviewing celebs, pre-main event concerts etc.
Initially, when Zurdo-Dorticos was announced, it was part of the regular schedule. Only when Chavez-Paul was paired with it, PPV was added to the listing! The Usyk fight comes in at £25, then there’s the Sheeraz New York bill, to make up a trio of PPV’s. No doubt the Moses-Whyte one will follow the trend!
The public need to boycott every Box Office event and they will get the message. Can understand non subscribers being charged PPV but not existing subscribers.
Precisely, a few months, or so ago, subscribers got a £1 discount, ye gods! That dropped off, fairly soon, before Turki’s £20, kicked in for all and sundry. Well I won’t be booking the Zurdo, Sheeraz through the nighters, while the pub will suffice for Usyk.
