Shocking mate. Any decent boxing card also pay per view. No idea why anyone bothers to subscribe these days.
Because they’re massively overpaid. They’re not fighting to stay relevant and get another big fight/purse because they’ve already got the big purse. They’re literally just turning up for a pay check in silent arenas where the lack of atmosphere filters through to the fights in the most part and results in a borefest.
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.
