    The quicker Mismatchroom totally move to DAZN or leave DAZN the better for UK boxthing viewers.

    Agreed, a tenner to watch cards at 3am doesnt appeal to much.

    Eddie would have to be bonkers to even consider leaving Sky for DAZN....they are not stable enough to take the risk.

    Exactly, and he’s the opposite of bonkers when it comes to business so it won’t happen. It doesn’t mean he won’t play them off against each other to get a better deal though!

    It’s part of a beta test in the UK for the DAZN app so apparently Sky have forgone the rights.

    If no stateside Matchroom USA cards are shown after this one then we can assume that the US Matchroom cards will be on DAZN in the UK.

    It’s yet another subscription but clearly DAZN will have to properly launch their service with more than just non domestic boxing in the UK.
