    DAZN was supposed to release it back in 2022, but I just checked and it still says coming soon. :nusenuse:

    I didn't event know you got a massive back catalogue of fights on DAZN.
    It's a limited feature over here on the Japanese version.

    Pretty much any famous fighter who fought on DAZN or fought under Golden Boy Promotions and Matchroom fighters have a lot or some of their fights archived on the app.

    There's also a lot of old archived fights, from De La Hoya, and other legends.

    The app progressively gets better with time.

    Now you know why boxing has fallen so far out of favor here in the states, rarely are the ppv cards actually worth the price they wanna charge us.

    I can totally see what you mean.

    How, are boxing fans supposed to enjoy fights throughout the year when they are priced at such an extortionate rate?

    Of course not. It's not money issue, but i have principles, and won't give 70 for any PPV.

    It's a good PPV card imo. £21.99 is fair price to pay in the UK. I wouldn't pay $70 for the show unless I went to buddies house and we shared between 3-4 people.

    4 relatively high-level 50/50 fights + Bivol. No problem in paying 19,99€ for that.

    If Hrgovic didn't fight, I personally wouldn't pay, this way I have a reason and desire to pay, without Beterbiev at the event this should be cheaper...

    The performance on replaying and the overall UI was the reason I jibbed it. Was considering rejoining before the Benn debacle but now no thanks

    i nodded at this, then just went...hold fkn minute.
    -i never used to subscribe to them becasue of this exact reason
    -it was HBO or Showtime events, just look back at the values and the depth of content they were able to do with the given time they had.
    -im watching central area bantamweight and guy-from-epic-meal-time vs youtube doctor.

    the whole reason dazn got a market wasnt to be a rival to a TV company's sports division, but as a way of seeing constant domestic global boxing, while also allowing the footage to be archivable and allowed live streaming while on the move that gave promoters worldwide a suplemental income while also allowing somebody in uk at sunday lunch watch japanese show for asian title


    this is Netflix battling against Cinema. now cinema can't make a buck, netflix has to pay a cost for new content. which isnt as good and then gets chopped by other apps. so now nobody wins. nobody gets paid. nobody gets a fair shake. leaving probox on youtube to be the only bastion of espn level shows...and they are going to be barely braking even come next year.

    DAZN is the best today, period.

    The days of quality free boxing are gone, and because I understand that and accept it I am pleased with the content and value I get from subscribing to DAZN, I also subscribe to ESPN+, and now Prime is in the game which I also subscribe too.

    I don't pay for cable anymore saving myself about 250 dollars a month, money that now goes to the streaming services that I do use, such as YouTube Premium and the three others I already mentioned and now instead of paying 250 a month, I'm paying an average of 40 dollars a month.
