DAZN Offers

Without fans buying tickets, subscriptions to sports channels and Box Office events - there is no business.

 

It just feels like promoters are stuck with the inflated UK pay days of the Matchroom/Sky era and PPV is the only way to make those work.

The thing is, because of that heyday they've still got the name value and Warren might just get away with it. Nobody's going to pay 25 quid to watch any of the up-and-coming boxers in 4-5 years so they'd better lower their expectations. Maybe they'll fight more often or duck less.

 

I didn’t watch the show last night. Was it formally announced it’s Chisora vs Whyte and was there any mention if Itauma is on the same show?

 

Not announced yet. Itauma is back in February apparently and Warren said he wants to take him to America in 2026.

 

I'm not against Chisora and Whyte going again
If its a fun fight I don't care what level any fighter is at

Entertainment is key hopefully

 

Same with a fella at work today. He used to watch all the boxing on Sky but didn’t even know Parker v Wardley was on.

 

He'd be better known - but far less well paid - if he'd stayed with Boxxer and ended up on BBC2.

Frazer Clarke will be splattered all over the BBC soon. Just like when he fought Wardley!

 

As everyone has said on here before, how many people are paying for these shows on DAZN PPV. The vast majority of people who would subscribe to Sky Sports do not know that DAZN exist. Many of those people probably don’t know who Fabio Wardley is. Then there’s 4 PPVs in 2 months while a cost of living crisis is going on. The buys must be tiny. Then Itauma is back early next year PPV, Joshua’s back PPV, Usyk’s back PPV etc etc. DAZN is basically Prime Time. Do you remember them. They were a PPV channel that showed the Super Six with Froch ( until he went to Sky ) , Hatton’s last fight and various other stuff . That was taking the p1ss but at least you didn’t have to subscribe . This DAZN thing has gone mental.

 

Prime Time was really good - not least their prices I remember buying PPVs for 4.95 7.95 and 9.95.

I really hope this is promoted as a stand alone fight night, not PPV, UK, couple of British title fights on the undercard.

 

The way DAZN are going, they would put an area title at the York Hall on PPV if they could.

 

The undercard will be dreadful. It’s in January and McCormack and Vuong won’t be on the card as they are fighting a few weeks before. Not complaining about seeing a Brit challenging for a World Title landing in the UK though.

 

Usyk will vacate & it will be wardley vs chisora for the vacant WBO strap in the new year
