    100% I know it's Floyd but compare him to McGreggor. When he fought Mayweather I reckon I'd watch 3/4 of his fights. I barley had a clue who Ngannou was and had only seen YouTube highlights.

    Yes the USA people get poked big time but the worst is the Australian Boxing fans for absolute garbage like Paul Gallen v Big Diddy Lucas Browne who took a dive in that fight.

    Incredible scenes in Oz

    There is no comparison between dazn and via play.

    Viaplay are done in the UK and have said so themselves the trouble they are in.

    Dazn have not done such a thing and are still looking to invest in sports rights.

    DAZN still making huge losses with no signs of slowing down.

    I would bet everything I own that the criminals have at least double the number of viewers watching DAZN UK each week and growing rapidly compared to the official DAZN UK subscribers.

    The plethora of subscriptions and Box Office events is driving this rapid growth and these criminals will only be stopped with less subscriptions, lower subscription prices and the abolition of Box Office events.

    Very tough market now and the landscape has materially changed in a way I did not see coming.

    Iptv viewership is still very low.

    It's not like Sky and Virgin are reporting huge drops in subscription numbers.

    I always look at advertising as an indicator of a channels viewership and the adverts I see on DAZN are the same brands you see on Sky Sports. Those brands don't pay for advertising on channels that people don't watch.

    Same with Netflix when the Internet said they would see a a huge drop in subscriptions when they stopped account sharing but what happened? Netflix have actually seen subscription numbers rise.

    You will find that subscriptions are down everywhere over the past 3 years while the other place is like a snowball rolling downhill.

    Over three million happy customers, word spreading like wildfire and the problem is only going to get worse for broadcasters.

    After Netflix introduced a subscription with advertising, their subscription base has tripled.

    Tripled? That would put them at around 600m + subs

    Excuse my mistake :)

    The number of monthly users with this advertising subscription type has tripled since May, according to Netflix.

    The fanboy drivel continues. Fury got dropped by a guy who had 0 professional boxing fights - yes 0 fights. There’s a big difference between training and actually fighting. Fury should have been able to handle him with ease instead he turned up looking like a slob - completely inexcusable for a professional athlete.

    Chisora lost to Whyte by stoppage in the rematch and the second Pulev fight could have gone either way. He’s lost every big fight he’s ever been in, claiming he would have been Joshua’s third best win is purely based on feelings rather than facts.

    You are basing Ngannou’s ranking after one fight with a hapless looking Tyson Fury. Again, only feelings are being used in your arguments, not facts. All the guys you mention are seasoned professional boxers. McGregor got carried 10 rounds by Mayweather, Woodley and Andersen lost to a total novice in Jake Paul, MMA fighters are not boxers, simple as.

    "There’s a big difference between training and actually fighting."

    Ngannou's had 21 professional fights with plenty of punching, including high pressure world championship fights and 14-15 years of training his striking, including sparring with top boxers. It's like pretending Lomachenko was a novice on his pro debut, when he was ready to challenge for/win world titles.

    "He’s lost every big fight he’s ever been in, claiming he would have been Joshua’s third best"

    I said Whyte, he's Joshua's 3rd best win. He gave Joshua his best fight of the guys Joshua beat barring Wlad and Povetkin, and he beat Parker, who beat Ruiz. Parker didn't come to win against Joshua, never troubled him over 12 rounds and Ruiz 2 came in dreadful shape, untrained or semi-untrained.

    Depends how one defines "big fight". Chisora's got three wins as the underdog and he'd have at least a few more (Helenius, Whyte 1, Parker 1) if he hadn't been the B-side.

    "McGregor got carried 10 rounds by Mayweather"

    That's your interpretation, a popular one among boxing fans for obvious reasons.

    "MMA fighters are not boxers"

    Maybe you're not a boxer but there have been numerous examples of far lower level, far less experienced MMA strikers dominating experienced boxers. Here's a couple:

    Are you seriously comparing Ngannou to arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all time? Lol what are you smoking.

    Fury is no ordinary boxer, he’s meant to be the best heavyweight of today, who some have ridiculously claimed as the ATG. His performance was simply embarrassing, there’s no defending it.
