That's for mere mortals. I get heavily discounted PPV. Still... once DAZN get their kinks worked out... I might consider joining who knows.

Fighter OTY: Inoue. This was a close race this year but I think he edged it with 3 fights and two destructions of good fighters.
Fight OTY: Donaire vs Inoue. Another close one. A few different fights to pick from but I think it edged it.
Comeback OTY: Pascal very easily to me. After his second loss to Kovalev a couple years back, I thought he was damaged goods. He beat two solid LHWs this year.
Upset OTY: Ruiz over AJ is the obvious choice but Baal mentioned the Cancio over Machado which is also a good choice since Cancio was a part time fighter and Machado was a top guy at the weight with a couple of solid wins. Ruiz over AJ was just a lot bigger deal in the boxing world. So my pick would probably be Cancio over Machado.
Prospect OTY: Virgil Ortiz pretty easily. Most of the other good prospects have progressed past prospect status.
Knockout OTY: Haney KO Moran
Round OTY: Ruiz AJ round 3

Well that may change if Hearn has any say in it.

So from 10 to 20 to 50 a month. I think Eddies takin the piss with this as it's just near strong arming subscribers to the $100 annual commitment and would steer casuals away. I don't think Dazn has the open ended drawing and crossover power in the States to sustain it and we're not even talking production quality and consistency. Espn+ is 5 bucks a month with multi platforms app and cable.
Stop using clickbait sites for your boxing news (believe it or not we used to ban this troll site but i'm tired of swapping the original source material).
Surely you guys can recognise they steal quotes from other interviews then build their narrative around it? These people are not journalists. Why not just post the interview they stole from so people can understand the context?

Here's another "clickbait site"

Not to mention the recording of Hearn himself saying it.
Oh well...... hope this helps.
(please someone explain what clickbait is to him as he's now posting racebaiter channels too. And have a go at explaining "context." I give up.)

I frankly don't give a damn what you call it (clickbait, etc). The insinuation is that we're giving credence to Fake News sites.
I proceeded to show you where it's NOT Fake News... it's totally real.... and that should be the end of that.
But you're free to continue making of it what you will (as usual).
Hey if it's one thing I'm rarely short of its an opinion but I think I've been through enough material over the years and watched enough spotty DAZN since the very 1st week to have a general idea of how the ball bounces. Which part would you dispute really, the fact that a casual won't plop down 50 or even 20 to watch Jaime Munguia v Spike O'Sullivan and possible rate increases? Choppy production quality? Or that they have fewer toes aka platforms stables etc in the U.S market compared to espn PBC or Showtime working together. I don't loath Hearn frankly he's a funny guy but he's in it for the bank in the role of front man.
I merely suggested the original source with context should be posted not the clickbait site (as were the rules back in the day).
Hearn was quoted from a 30 minute interview with Chris Mannix. The context was Hearn promoting the value for money DAZN subscribers get. Hearn is a salesman. Hearn has ZERO authority in DAZN's pricing policy.
I specifically quoted your post so Tito wouldn't dive in acting like i've insulted his mother. I should have known better. That's all.

Hey... no issues, Fenster (really). I'll admit to not knowing about your rules about "clickbait sites". I figured if something seems like a credible bit of news... or interview... then it's fair game. The whole thing started with just a coincidental bit of timing where you had quipped something about the cost of DAZN vs PPV, and then I stumbled on to some comments from Hearn about suggesting to DAZN that they should raise their prices. We all know he has no authority there... but he's certainly a major player in the boxing promoting field. Is it wrong to surmise someone at DAZN could possibly get his ear bent a little by what Hearn has to say?
Please.... stop taking everything so fucking personally.
BTW.... NO amount of "context" explanation can erase the fact that Hearn said what he said. PLUS... in my original comment I added a wink, hoping someone like you wouldn't barge in and start scolding about "clickbait sites" and shit like that.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
