Fair play to his excellency. I’ve always liked him. Where does this leave Eddie Frank and Dazn now ? It’s not going to be easy to put any old sh1te on PPV when Turki is putting stronger cards on for the cost of a subscription. I’m guessing that the Saudis have increased their interest in DAZN via the Club World Cup and perhaps have their eyes on turning DAZN into the major sports broadcaster in the world. The infrastructure is there already. Think of the influence that would have globally.
I wonder if Turki and DAZN have started to get the PPV numbers for the show at the weekend and realised they spent £15m on a show and 1,200 have paid to watch it?

On a more serious note, the large numbers of subscriptions and large numbers of Box Office Events resulted in millions of people joining the firestick revolution and this is at least is a positive change in the right direction. The monthly subscription price will need to be no more than £19.99 per month to attract new subscribers. Well done Mr Turkey.
They already do this with other sports don't they ? Their plan seems to be buy the rights to different sports and you pay for each with its own separate pass/subscription , pretty sure they already done this with NFL Season pass etc. Its good in that you wont have to pay for the sports you don't want to watch , however at the price point I'm hearing it'll make it quite expensive to follow just boxing for example.
Good grief, that’ll be an eye-watering cost I bet. No way the fans will be better off with this. They’ll need to have more ‘PPV’ fights to justify whatever this ‘Ring Pass’ costs compared to a normal sub, further watering down the quality of what you get with a normal subscription.
I bet the premium subscription will cost more over the year than buying all the ppv’s, because excluding the YouTube shite there is probably 6/7 Saudi blood money shows a year, or they will start making more of the bog standard domestic shows ppv for normal subscribers.
