DAZN Offers

Brick Top got a new passport or something? First Nigeria now Germany.

 

The old classic, the “homecoming” show. Definite weak opponent lined up.

 

Be lucky if it does 10,000 buys.

 

There's an email i got that has Frank explaining that Parker Wardley is must see and if you buy it you get Benn Eubank with 20% off.

 

I now avoid the results and then post fight, search YouTube for either the full fight or the highlights.

DAZN will kill Boxing off. The mere casual isn't going to pay for it and when genuine fans, as per this website as one example, are collectively saying "Enough is enough", then alarm bells should start ringing... but they won't. Fighters fighting to practically no viewers. How can they build a fanbase if nobody is watching?

Makes me wonder if Ben Shalom has seen and jumped ahead of the oncoming curve with the terrestrial BBC deal...

 

Also, a fiver off? Are there really that many people on the fence about buying it at £25 but will jump at it for £20? ‘Do me a favour’ Frank and knock it down to a tenner, that’ll make a difference.

Or better yet, just don’t make any fight slightly above British-title level a PPV.

 

An already-niche sport has become virtually inaccessible for the casual fan who doesn’t want to sign themselves up for a monthly subscription they can’t cancel for 12 months.

At least when paying for sports such as football, cricket, darts, F1 etc you know there’s a set fixture list, whereas boxing you don’t know what fights there’ll be or what will end up on PPV etc.

I'm a bit gutted to be missing the Parker v Wardley fight as I like both guys and think it'll be an interesting fight but they've crossed the line charging £25 on top of a subscription, especially when you consider the undercard.

 

Had a look at the undercard — highlight is Mitchell Smith coming back, and that’s purely for nostalgia reasons. The rest, I can honestly say I’ve never seen fight, even the British title bout. £25 PPV and ticket sales look poor; plenty still available in every section. I could probably just roll up on Saturday and get in for the same price as the PPV. Touts and the secondary market must be getting crippled here.

Can’t see this booking a profit — PPV sales are going to be horrendous. Should’ve stuck with Wardley and Ipswich, or at least built a better undercard. Even a cross-promotion, using last week’s NextGen show as the undercard, would’ve made this actually marketable and somewhat sellable.

 

With the vast experience of the Warren clan, how can they be so tone deaf in this instance!
It’s an intriguing fight, but compare the bill to those Saudi extravaganza’ s last year for £20!
It’s not only here there’s complaints. American podcast presenters are all complaining, and they’re paying at least, if not more, than £25.

 

Hopefully Warren will learn a lesson and not go so cheap on future PPVs.

 

It makes me sad that BT Sports and Sky Sports stepped away from boxing. My only hope is Netflix interest grows and hosts regular cards, doubt it will ever happen though.

 

I think they’ve just massively overestimated Wardley’s selling power in London — he’s a big draw in Ipswich, sure, but that doesn’t translate down south. Parker’s not exactly a ticket-seller here either, especially after moving 20k against Huni. This one was always going to struggle.

They needed some big ticket sellers on the undercard. Should’ve given Shalom a call — he’d have got some of his boys on at a discount and probably signed Bakole for a Big Mac meal deal… supersized, of course.

 

Apparently the Sky boxing contract is out to tender with 35+ interested parties . Front runners are the Ring and Most Valuable Promotions ( lots of women’s boxing there, perfect for Sky ). Once this John Wischausen court case is over in November, Sky are back. Apparently. Sky only want PPV standard shows so I guess fat Mick and Kalle aren’t getting the contract.

 

Avoiding the result is almost impossible when searching YouTube. The result and images of the winner’s hand raised, is the norm!

 

Interesting. Outside of Matchroom and Queensbury I'm not really sure who fits the mould. Even though I'd like to see Wazza back on Sky, I'd be surprised if he moved over since he's not been on DAZN for long. Can't see Eddie going back there either.
