DAZN launches in UK

[skanksta]

Also...
Fast Eddie gets a lot of stick on here. Obviously some of it is deserved, but - silver-spoon or not - he’s taking on Murdoch and going all billion dollar corporation.

If he pulls it off he’ll outdo his dad's achievements many many times over.

On paper this is great news however...

To watch all the boxing available to fans in the UK between now and NYE now a fan would have to fork out for:
Sky
BT
Premier Sports
FITE TV
DAZN UK
Isakura
Boxing Raise*
Multiple PPVs

And I'm probably missing some other legal UK channels and subscriptions out there

And do we know what else DAZN has for UK customers? We have already seen that boxing only content won't be enough to carry the service, they will likely need to take the whole Matchroom catalogue, but will that even be enough? With out an EPL package will they make a big enough splash? And even with it is it possible for them to make a profit?


*Sure niche as hell but their content isn't available anywhere else, can't fish for their live content

I can envisage some potential conflicts of interest for Hearn here with obligations to DAZN and Sky to meet.

Not for long. His contact with Sky expires early next year.

Could be an interesting 6 months. DAZN becomes a different beast in the UK if Eddie moves exclusively to DAZN. Won't be £2 per month for long

Yeh.. will probably go on to be around £19.95.. the price of a PPV..

[ShadrachSimmo]

£2 a month is nothing, may as well get it even until the price inevitably goes up, in saying that I've had iView for a couple of years, binned the sky and haven't bought a PPV since, £100 a year , every channel, all PPVs and hundreds of movies and TV series, highly recommended if you grudge shelling out and hate buffering streams

Do you buy the box and pay a one off charge or is a monthly thing?

You can get a box or firestick off Amazon or wherever, I'm not sure price as I get my Iview on an old kodi box we got years ago, a mate of mine puts it on for me, £100 one off payment for thr year, mines actually runs out on Sunday so I'll give him 100 next week and that'll be me for another year,

I've seen fellas on Twitter advertising it mate, maybe someone more clued up on here might fill you in in how to get it from someone online

Cheers old boy

This December.

From Twitter appears that not only are they using the Campbell/Garcia fight to launch, but that the Joshua fight is also going to be available.

Here we go.........

Yes yes yes lets hope this is the fckin end of Adam Smith

He’s not owned Sky for a couple of years now I think

It will never be that high, the wwe version is a tenner with an insane amount of content as well as including all the ppvs, most likely there'll be an increase for monthly subscription and then big fights will be ppv similar to the current sky sports model.

It’s not just boxing though. It’s other sports too isn’t it?

Just looked it up and you're right, I thought it was just boxing and bellator mma for some reason.

No indeed - I'd completely forgotten that.
The point still stands tho' - Barry was successful selling sports content to media giants, Eddie (might) be successful in being a media giant.

I am going to subscribe anyway for the boxing and the fact that one account covers my devices. So, if I am out I can turn on the fight.

Any other sports are a nice bonus in my eyes. Think they may have football rights.
