Itauma v Whyte on PPV is a disgrace. What on earth do you even get with a DAZN sub anymore?! This content is protected
I just cannot see how this generates any buys. Would he a tough sell on Sky Sports PPV, Let alone DAZN
Is my Maths correct that if you were a flexible sub, purchased each of the boxing PPV (Missfits not included) To the end of August you would have sunk roughly £340? Just how on earth is this good for boxing fans or growing the sport? Whilst seemingly all being done with Saudis bottomless pit of cash. It's ludicrous
It's been 12 days since I wrote that DAZN was planning on Itauma vs Whyte being a PPV card. I had heard it from several sources and - with all due respect - it will take something completely out of the ordinary to get the fight sold. Who is going to pay ?
It's going to create a lot of new boxing fans. I'm sure the people at DAZN are licking their lips and are delighted with the huge interest On a serious note : It's ruining and damaging boxing big time. Sad.
If we all went to Saudi at the same time, there would be a wonderful British Boxing Forum meet and greet in a Saudi holding pen at the airport. We’d probably run out of things to talk about after 19 years in Turki’s jail though.
The silver lining is the holding pen probably has DAZN on a big screen to boost viewing numbers, so at least we wouldn't have to pay a score to watch Itauma fight.
Boxing promoters are cynical people who have no regard for the health of their boxers and are willing to use methods that cannot be published. It seems that His Excellency fits the role of a boxing promoter perfectly.
