Chisora should thank his lucky stars people still want to put him on their shows. Proper self-entitled big baby.
For hardcore boxing fans, £23/month isn’t THAT bad with all PPV’s included. There’s been 12 in the last year so on average 1 a month plus the other stuff is alright I guess. It’s still miles away from what they promised when they first launched mind. The problem is casual fans aren’t going to lay down that money. How long until a fight is announced that isn’t part of the deal though? DAZN have hardly been reliable with keeping promises.
Is this just gonna create a new tier of PPV though. Like say a fight like Wardley vs Parker or Chisora vs Whyte 3 (I know it’s off) would be included in your DAZN Ultimate PPV plan as they’re thought of as B tier PPV’s but if they have a massive A tier PPV fight like Usyk vs Fury for example that’s not included. I don’t trust DAZN at all tbh.
What’s to stop them putting on a stinker on PPV like Lawrence Okolie in Africa. They know fine well nobody would buy it but they could claim it counts as one of your 12 PPV’s so that a fight you actually want to see isn’t included and you have to pay extra.
I just caved and grabbed the DAZN Ultimate deal, couldn’t be bothered messing around. Cost me £197.31, I think I had a bit left over from my old subscription. It includes Eubank v Benn and Benavidez v Yarde, which I would’ve bought anyway. Plus I just like the fact you can replay and rewind; other services might offer something similar for less, but they don’t quite have the same optionability. I’m sure they’ll find some way around it eventually with “Super PPV” cards or whatever, but for now it’s a decent deal, much like that £83.89 promotion last year.
Americans are being screwed over tho: This content is protected Also, its funny how in my region its still €4.99, only I have to pay for the PPV´s. I looked around and couldn´t see any option to "upgrade" my subscription.
It’s a no from me this. If they put something on PPV that’s worth paying for I might decide to buy it. I don’t trust Deadzone enough to pay for a years worth of PPV up front for them to deliver crap.
An absolute no from me, for a tonne of reasons. You’re essentially pre-paying for PPVs with absolutely no guarantee on the level/quality of them, and with them committing to a minimum of 12 PPVs, who knows what sort of stuff will be elevated to PPV to help bolster the numbers if things get a bit quiet and Turks takes all the big fights to Netflix. As far as I can see there’s no mention of if it’s all ‘proper’ boxing, or if Misfits and bare knuckle will be part of the 12. And no matter how many times over the last 15 years we’ve heard ‘no more PPVs’, they always come back. There’ll always be a ‘super duper mega fight’ that just ‘can’t possibly’ be made without PPV.
Plus keep in mind that all Super fights (like Canelo vs Crawford) going forward will be on Netflix. I've had a whisper in my ear that His Excellency really doesn´t care about DAZN.
I done the same and payed £186.26 today, the way I’m seeing it I effectively only need four shows over the next 12 months that I would be willing to pay on top of the £119 to make this worthwhile, I was always buying Eubank Benn and Benavidez Yarde so that’s two down, and getting Inoue on Dec 27th means I only need one show that I would have bought between January - November next year to justify this, anything over them four is money actually saved.
Couldn’t agree more, mate, but let’s be realistic, the problem started when DAZN threw $1 billion at Fast Car. To attract fighters he overpaid, and the demand outweighed the supply, so boxers started getting unrealistic purses. Which was great for them and the promoters if they could turn a profit or leverage a bigger piece for themselves, but then Turki came along with an endless oil well of loot and that compounded everything. Hence we’ve got what we’ve got. Eventually the DAZN model will collapse; boxing’s too niche and they don’t have enough variety to ever be profitable unless they float as an IPO, and even that would only slow down the cash burn. Eventually all roads lead back to Sky, which is why it was always the ideal platform. But that won’t happen until the boom turns to bust and fighters start having realistic expectations about their worth. Until then we’re stuck with overpriced subscriptions and inflated cards. Truthfully, I actually pay more for Sky Sports, and that’s pretty much only for the tennis and what boxing used to be on there. I don’t even watch football anymore, watching my team get beat every weekend was worse than watching Okolie fight.
Yeah, exactly how I looked at it, mate. I knew if I didn’t do it instantly I’d just pussyfoot around, not bother, and then do what I always do — end up buying the PPVs on the day even if I don’t watch them all live. It’s the same with all the American cards, I tend not to stay up or get up to watch them. Easy to say, “oh, **** it, I’ll go watch it down the pub,” but a couple of rounds of drinks and that’s the subscription done and dusted at London prices.
A warning to all about DAZN : I have an annual DAZN subscription. They took money from my bank account at the end of August 2025 for the next 12 months. I ordered DAZN Ultimate yesterday and they have taken £249.99 upfront. DAZN forgot that I had paid for 12 months subs. at the end of August 2025. I think it would have been fair if they had credited me for 9 months subs. but they obviously don't think so. Sad.
