Is DAZN just an app version of HBO with no movies or original programming?

    It kind of dawned on me while seeing some clips of the GGG press conference that Dazn basically has HBOs old stable give or take a few guys. Maybe I’m forgetting a couple guys but ultimately I feel like I’m watching a rehashing of the old HBO stable. Let me know if my thinking is incorrect.



    Dazn = HBO
    Canelo = Canelo
    GGG = GGG
    Jacobs = Jacobs
    Boo Boo = Boo Boo
    Joshua = Ward
    Rungvisai = rungvisai
    Bivol = Bivol
    Baby miller = baby Miller
    ??? = Crawford
    ??? = kovalev
    Usyk = lomochenko
    Tevin farmer = Roman Gonzalez
    Mungia = Mungia

    Well, HBO boxing could be described in one word as quality. They tried to be (and they were) the best at doing it. Well, now DAZN is trying to be the best as well (you can't be the best at once — it takes time and efforts). And how do you become the best (as a boxing channel/app)? You try to get the best boxers and give your viewers the best production.
    I guess that's the similarities.
