PPV overkill

[veriton]

Yet another ppv tonight for a card missing its original star attraction of beterbiev v bivol.

Are you buying it?

I'm not going to bother, the Champions League final is on anyway so there's a quality sporting alternative.

The fights tonight are decent but without that headline fight I think this should have been bumped down to part of the subscription.

I bet not many pay for it straight after Fury v Usyk too. Getting both means an extra 45 quid on top of usual subscriptions, bit of a stretch given the Saudis are rolling in it anyway.

[Heldenjaeger]

Let's not kid ourselves here; the Champions League final is a much bigger event in a truly competitive sport. And you don't need any subscriptions or a PPV to see it. I'll watch it with my family (another plus for football) and then head home to see what's left of the PPV card.

[Boxerbeetle]

Definitely not buying this one, not worth it at all without the main event. Champions League final for me.

I will be watching the ppv and recording the football to watch in the morning .Obviously taking care to avoid finding out the result beforehand.

Is the champions League final free to watch?

It is where I live, free on TV and free on livestream from that same TV channel.

[Bigdogsnose]

Its a catch 22 at the minute.

So many ppvs, but the majority illegally stream, so they aint making as much money.

Forcing more ppvs, but the more ppvs they put out the more they push ppl towards illegal streams.

Ultimately boxing is full of greedy fcukers and the paying public are fed up of being squeezed for more and more. Mainly due to saudi money we are getting some of the big fights, but still too many misses, due to greed.

I’m buying, this to me is a great card with a lot of toss up fights. Might be the last time we see the Bronze Bomber in action too. It’s arguably one of the best cards this year on paper.. yet many are willing to pay for hog wash like Jake Paul! However they do need to make PPV cheaper it’s no wonder so many stream..

Champions league? Real will likely crush Dortmund.

Im looking forward to the heavyweight tears up tonight!

Yeah it's always free now, as far as I'm aware. Think I watched on Youtube last year.

Looking for a bit of clarity here..............

I paid £25 for a months subscription to DAZN to watch Fury v Usyk and saw it as a bonus being able to see Caterall v Taylor and 5 v 5.

It looks like I'm being asked to stump up some more cash for tonight's PPV?

Right or wrong?

[rd350lc]

The poofball is on Discovery plus , whatever that is .

5 v 5 is a totally separate PPV so yeah you'd have to pay out again. PPV isn't quite as dead as DAZN claimed, it it.

[SeanBrennan]

I struggle to watch 90 mins of football but will happily watch loads of small hall fights. I get it's pricey this one but I'll be buying. I couldn't bear to get a poor stream and it doesn't work

[Cholo_cws]

I'm a bit of a technophobe but I downloaded the Discovery+ app, registered and there's the CL final showing as being on live and for free. Happy days. Wouldn't have watched the boxing anyway.

[Frostieballs]

I figure you can watch the CL final and a fair bit of the 5 vs 5.

Footie should finish by 10pm. Zhang Wilder not on till midnight, so a good bit of action before!

[The Docker]

Unless you're of Spanish or German decent and specifically follow the two finalists, why the f*ck would you consider the footy over the boxing, totally beggars belief.

[Boxerbeetle]

Few reasons for me:

1) It's not PPV
2) It's a much bigger event
3) The amended headline fight of the boxing is disappointing compared to the original fight
4) I can chat with people in work about the football on Monday, whereas any attempt to mention boxing is met with blank stares and uninterest

[Boxerbeetle]

I suppose an extra reason is that we literally had a PPV 2 weeks ago. DAZN relying on boxing fans being suckers.

Well folks out there doing it hard at the moment so two cards B2B in a few weeks costs.

That said yeah I'd rather watch Boxing any day of the week than these overpaid footballers dancing around. Who cares about Real and Dortmund. Fook that. This card 5v5 card is top draw.

This isn't a issue with a decent fire stick

Following boxing is fvckin lonely in real life, isn't it

It's honestly so niche these days, hardly any of my mates or colleagues even know shows are happening unless it's a Joshua or Fury fight, and even then most of them won't buy the PPV so only see clips on Twitter afterwards. The social side of sport is a massive part of growing / maintaining its popularity, and boxing does itself no favours at all by being locked behind so many paywalls.

Definitely this is why I love.the forum. I watch boxing obsessively but people think it's bonkers!

2 of my mates said 'what boxing" last night.
They love to watch and we've been to shows together. Was low key promotion.
