    Malignaggi is clearly the best around. He's a knowledgeable, likeable motormouth.

    **** no. Just like anything else that has come before it, it is $5 now as soon it will be $10, then $20 and PPV for fights that you really want to see.

    edit: What I mean for PPV is that they soon will have their own PPV. They are now in direct competition with with other services. To get people to sub you need quality fights. To get big name fight you need to pay. PPV

    I think I’d rather put $60 toward another PPV than feed probox $ 5 monthly tbh.

    After their cringe and paid off "candid" sitdown with WBC President Mauricio Sulamon, a few days later after Chris Mannix exposed his hypocrisy and corruption, I unsubscribed from them.

    That's DAZN not Probox.

    Boxing has become pricing-prohibitive for fans because fighter pay is disconnected from actual commercial value.

    • The Problem: Promoters offer fighters massive, guaranteed purses regardless of real fan demand. To recoup those costs, they force fans to buy endless streaming subscriptions and inflated pay-per-view cards.
    • The Result: Rather than offering stacked cards for a reasonable fee ($5 to $20) or putting good fights back on free TV, promoters overcharge fans to subsidize bloated fighter pay.

    You have to pay for every streaming service and on top of that pay-per-view matches. Saying that I wouldn't mind paying $5 for a good card but most are not worth it.

    Wrong. Probox TV and ******* are under the same company. This is the interview:

    Absolutely nothing to do with DAZN,

    And here's the Chris Mannix interview a few days earlier.

    I've never seen Chris Algerie and Pauli bend over backwards that much for the WBC justifying their corruption. Clearly Sulamon flexed some kind of influence here, lost respect for them after that.

    The 3 Amigos from DAZN are the worst commentators
