    Damn.


    I think someone said this already. It's not that I'm against streaming or anything of the sort.
    I just think there's a certain allure to watching boxing with all its bells and whistles as a huge event on a big ass TV...... that DAZN just ain't gonna provide.


    Hooray for technology and the demystifying of boxing!

    DAZN are doing brilliant things for boxing.
    1 years subscription for a little more $$ than ONE big US PPV event to get all the fights they offer is amazing value.

    And still haven’t met one person in USA who has DAZN, asked 2 professional fighters I work with yesterday if they knew anyone who has DAZN and neither knew anyone. They are throwing money away. Good for the fighters. Bad for the fans to have to pay for more and more platforms and have more and more roadblocks between fights. But MW is DAZN for the foreseeable future

    Really don’t understand the trend on this site to root for a platform and a promoter rather than root for fights

    In the UK, this is all on Sky TV so nothing changes for us.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Then why do all these people root for Eddie and DAZN? It’s so peculiar

    I am not sure what you mean here. Most people in the UK are more than aware of what Eddie is like but will still root for him rather than an American promoter. Why would they root for promoters that have a history of not making fights or when they do, treating British and European audiences and fans as thought they were irrelevant, and to be treated like shite. Routinely having to wait up until 4,5,6 a.m, even when one of the fighters is British/European sucks for fans. Whatever you think of Eddie, he and his old man before him have a history of making great fights and putting on class shows for British fans. Other than Eddie and Matchroom the only other modern promoter who comes close in the UK is Warren. There are a several smaller promoters, and i have worked for three of them, but they don't get anywhere near close to being able to attract the fighters Eddie can. Don't forget when you had all those cable companies, we not so long ago had just 4 terrestrial channels and ONE cable/satellite provider. So we know what a monopoly means. Eddie might be a bullshitter but he also delivers time after time however much people love to moan about him. Without him British boxing would be immeasurably poorer.

    DAZN sign Jacobs, sign Canelo, now they fight. What about that don't you like? Other than Edwards involvement of course. You were frothing at the mouth for Jacobs to get a crack a few months back.

    No one cares about Eddie or DAZN. They care about what content it brings to them, for free.

    Silver Lining Dept:

    If signing with DAZN gives GGG another shot at Canelo, at least it will spare us the embarrassing sight of Lampley, Max & Co. drooling all over themselves extolling the virtues of the Ginger King.

    GGG gets his shot..... gets robbed for a 3rd time...... and we all live happily ever after.

    It’s mind numbing people think this is going in a good direction. Dividing things more and more is never good

    Yes, I admit they own MW, what fights does being on DAZN make easier in flyweight? Junior Welter? Cruiserweight?

    How do you not get that DAZN, ESPN, Showtime are competition and not likely to share? Did you see the rematch between Fury and Wilder go down the tubes when he signed with ESPN?

    More platforms is more hurdles, not less
