Dazn ppv gains UK broadcast license

A TV channel?

 

Just don't think there's enough room for all these new apps& channels but what we seem to have is some very rich men getting involved in boxing mainly out of interest rather than a profitable business.
Good times for been a prizefighter as there's more and bigger opportunitys for exposure and paydays.
Wonder where all the chips will lay in a few years time?

 

Maybe it's just for the ppv baby.
But surely if so then that would undermine there streaming service.

 

'We need this ppv function for the one off, massive fights that can't be made without it, Koogs. Do you have any idea of the sort of purses fights like Alen Babic vs Dave Allen require? Add to that Maya Jama, 3000 Chinese fireworks for a walk on, pest control for Diamante's hair and we're talking big numbers'.

 

Good spot. That's a pain in the bum to say the least.

Just have to hope they are being honest when they say it's just for the Anthony Joshuas of this world. I could deal with Joshua being on there as he's been a Box Office fighter since about 1984, but not if we start to see Chisora's next fight migrating onto there…

 

Don't forget Connor Benn

 

It went from 2 quid to 8 quid.

It went from no PPV/PPV being dead, to PPV.

Anyone who believes 'only the biggest fights will be PPV' needs to wake up. I'll give it 2 years before the type of PPV's you got on Sky are PPV on DAZN.

 

Definitely wasn't. Personally, I'd bundle him in with Chisora et al in the "non-PPV" bucket.

If it goes to purse bids, I've got a feeling this will be debuted for Fury vs Whyte.

 

We used to get Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, Chris Eubank, George Groves, Cheeseman and Kal Yafai all on one PPV card at one point.

Think about that. They have separate PPV's for most of those fighters now.

 

2 years ago the Sauerland's had a Josh Taylor world title main event with Naoya Inoue world title chief support on non-PPV Sky but Hearn wants us to believe he couldn't do decent cards non-PPV.

 

Possible that this is just for pubs/bars (much like Amazon Prime do in December) but the mere mention of PPV in addition to a monthly sub should be concerning for boxing fans.

DAZN really need content other than boxing to justify eight quid a month. Someone needs to ask Hearn if he feels the regular Saturday Night Fight Nights on Sky were worth a third of the total cost of a Sky Sports subscription and see what bunkum he says.

 

Game changed. Changed back to what it was in the first place.

 

Hearn dragging the DAZN Monthly Sub Trojan horse into boxing, only to unleash the PPV's hiding inside.

Give it time and DAZN will have a PPV every other month + a monthly fee.
