    Should they hold those money hungry criminals responsible for putting on PPV events on an already $20 per month subscription service?

    While I understand having non subscribers pay, but having existing subscribers give them another $60 for a fight card....shaking my head.

    So I googled to see if Canelo Ryder is free, and it is free for rest of the world, but PPV for US and Canada.....how can this be legal?

    Canelo Ryder....it's not even PPV worthy Jesus lord.

    How is it different from Showtime and ESPN? Both have subscription and also have PPV.

    Showtime is $10 and has live TV channels with movies and shows, it's like Netflix. ESPN has every sport you can think of, what does DAZN offer for double the price? It's a damn scam.

    They are all scam. The PPV has more to do with the boxer than any network. The fighters demand millions , millions the network aren't willing to pay. So they put it on the boxer to earn those millions with PPV.

    You think its a scam then don't pay for Dazn. I'm cancelling mine after my year is up cause I don't think the fights are worth it and then spiking the price up. I also hate all the damn woman boxing they are putting on the card.

    Sounds like Putin has a good case to begin a "special operation " vs Eddie H and the DAZN leadership.

    It was fine when they initially started, alot of brit cards and it was $10. Then they signed Canelo for that stupid 6 fight deal and it all went to shite....I have cancelled it before but then resigned up when they had Usyk fighting AJ

    Really wasn't. The "fine" was the scam.

    Like any good drug dealer they got you hooked at an introductory low rate and then upped the price of the product while decreasing its quality.

    Checked their Wikipedia page, and US and Canada get shafted so badly it's not even funny.

    Look at the the list of sports and events per country.....while US price is one of the highest, we get least sports, and we gotta drop money for PPVs....it's laughable.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAZN

    Doesnt a Toyota Prius priced the same everywhere, so long it has exactly same options....why the heck do we have to pay more for alot less.
