Why do you find it less enjoyable?

 

Hard to believe the Parker v Wardley fight is PPV - simply astonishing.

 

Our old friend TBA doing overtime again.

 

Fighters were being paid way over the odds to fight on Saudi undercards and now won’t fight for any less. Prime example - Josh Kelly turning down Boots Ennis. Saudi undercard fight aside, the money offered to fight Ennis would be by far his highest payday but now he’s been paid X amount (by Turki) he won’t go any lower than that.

Mark my words, the Saudi involvement will absolutely ruin British boxing long-term. Yeah we may have got a few fights at the start we wouldn’t normally get but long-term it’s going to be horrendous.

 

As per my above post, they’ve had a few fights on Riyadh Season undercards and now won’t accept a figure less than that, hence why they’ve had to try and squeeze out a few more £££ from PPV.

 

Have DAZN ever released their PPV numbers? It be interesting to see how Parker vs. Wardley does crowd wise inside the arena and on PPV. I think it be a good fight but not enough with a under whelming undercard to make me pay £20 on top for it.

 

I've pretty much thrown the towel in on boxing now, Sky don't show anything, and I simply refuse to subscribe to DAZN ever again, I just watch the highlights on YT or whatever the next day, I'm pleased to see a British title fight (generally always the BEST fights) on the BBC, even if I despise that platform as well.

Boxing has become too much hard work to follow for me

 

My DAZN subscription runs out next month I won't be renewing it far too many pay per views on there now it's not worth it.

 

Yes, that's another thing, the proliferation of PPV fights now, means boxing (already a niche sport as it is) is now such an incredibly expensive one as well.

I have loved boxing all my life, have boxed myself, and now find myself becoming apathetic towards it.

It's just too much hard work, too much money, , and there are few fights that I genuinely care about watching.

 

DAZN’s non-PPV offerings these days are basically what that FightZone was a couple of years ago.
