I'm considering signing up. For those of you who have or had it, I'd like to hear your opinions on the pros and cons. Thanks in advance!!!!

Definitely worth it. I haven't gotten ESPN+ but I'll have to next year when they add the UFC.

Have you gone for the 30 day free trial to help you decide? It will include Canelo vs Fielding.

Why don’t you find out for yourself and see how good the network is by exploiting the one month free trial they provide?

32 Matchroom events per year, a guaranteed minimum of 10 Golden Boy fight cards per year, all 15 WBSS season II fight nights, coupled with no PPV fees to pay to view marquee names like AJ and Canelo, as well as several other bouts that would otherwise be PPV’s on TV networks like Showtime, HBO, Sky, ESPN, Fox etc.

All this for $9.99 USD, which includes one month free trial and can be cancelled at any time, as their subscribers aren’t contractually-tied to committing themselves to lengthy contracts.

So if you’re a boxing fan, live within one of the territories that DAZN serve and can afford to pay the equivalent of $9.99 per month, why wouldn’t you try it?

End of thread.

Yeah it does kind of seem that way!

Seriously though, when you look at the product that DAZN are trying to sell to boxing fans, it’s really challenging to find fault with it (in terms of overall value for money).

People are asking “is DAZN worth it?” but why ask others when they can take a free trial and see for themselves? If they do it now, they'll even be able to see Canelo fight for free.

Alternatively, if you’re not interested in any of the fighters affiliated with Matchroom, Golden Boy or the WBSS, then don’t bother trying out DAZN.

People clearly don’t have to possess IQ’s comparable to legendary scientific theorists like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in order to answer the question being posed.

Worth it in Canada. On top of all the boxing you get all the Champions League games, La Liga, Serie A, all NFL games, and a bunch of other crap.

Undecided. The technical quality is excellent. Upcoming fights of particular interest to me, I don't see much. The "Ak and Barak" and other time wasters, negative interest to me. I'm probably going to cancel. If they have something I really want to see I could always rejoin.

Other than adding my ringing endorsement to the rest the only thing that I feel compelled to add is that Bellator MMA is also a part of the package. So, if your the type of combat sports fan who enjoys both boxing & MMA like myself then you're in luck. Not only does DAZN carry the "regular" Bellator cards from The Paramount Network but also the occasional Bellator "supercard". Which are PPV quality.

Wbss fights are worth 10 a month. Anything else is icing on the cake

I love Dazn. Only card so far I was disappointed in was the Miller card out of Kansas. Crap card. But you're going to have good with the bad

I agree to be honest.

How do the rest of you watch DAZN and/or ESPN +?
I've heard a lot of folks complain about the fact that they have to watch on their devices ( laptops, tablets, phones etc. ) rather than on their televisions but ( as I'm sure most of you guys have figured out ) there are multiple ways around that. The DAZN app can be downloaded on a variety of smart TVs & devices like Amazon Firesticks, Roku etc.. Apparently ESPM + is a little more limited though but I've got both downloaded onto my Firestick & they both work great.
The HD pictures are sharp as hell & I haven't run into any real problems with buffering. The one time that I did I was able to correct the issue by completely removing my Firestick from my TV, waiting about a minute & then hooking it up again.
