Re: No More PPV’s!
The constant changing of different and varied packages is also confusing and not customer friendly.
Does anyone want to predict when DAZN (if ever) becomes profitable?

Re: No More PPV’s!
Watching Spurs-Man Utd.
They’re promoting the Eubank-Benn 2 in the side boards in the stadium.
That’s the only promotion I’ve really seen.
TNT won’t promote it. Not on TV via ads anyway. Comms won’t promote it.
So being at the stadium or watching a Spurs home game on TV is the most I’ve seen about the fight.

Re: No More PPV’s!
If it was on SKY PPV or TNT PPV it would be hyped in every match and during SKY Sports News etc plus all the adverts during shows. You can't beat the cross promotion they can give which is why DAZN in it's present form will only appeal to the hardcore.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑08 Nov 2025, 09:39 Watching Spurs-Man Utd.

Also the Opetaia - Cynkara fight has disappeared from the UK schedule….. I know it’s no longer on DAZN Australia for sure….its on Stan TV whatever that is

They are stinging the Americans $450 a year for the Ultimate.
Poor buggers.
I read that Golden Boy and Matchroom can do their own PPV's outside of the deal.
Maybe that's a rumor, but I definitely wouldn't put it past them, DAZN has form for further fleecing of fans.
Boxing used to be a working man's sport, didn't it?

Re: No More PPV’s!
I think you make a good point. Like most sports undertaken and enjoyed by working class people, it’s always been controlled by those with wealth. Eddie and co are the latest iteration of the penny chuckers.Frostieballs wrote: ↑08 Nov 2025, 20:05Always been a snobby element to it mate.

“Another was the last only time I have seen ‘nobbins’ – an old-school practice in which coins are thrown into the ring by the crowd in appreciation of the action – accompany a closing bell after a rousing draw between Chris Brophy and John “The Don” Brennan”
I also seem to recall watching a fight a few years ago where this happened but I can’t remember who it was between.

The advertising for Sky, Dazn is shocking.

One on the bus shelter near me, wonder how much this costs and is it more beneficial than having SKY or TNT advertise it during events.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025, 10:52 I saw Eubank-Benn 2 Poster on a billboard on way to work this morning
Can't imagine an old girl waiting for a bus to work seeing that poster and thinking I must pay 25 quid on Saturday to watch this

Re: No More PPV’s!
I always said this then people complain that YouTubers and social media stars are paid more than actual boxes but when it’s PPV it’s the consumers that are paying the purses. No one is forcing them to pay. I believe Ryan Garcia was the first boxer to have a big following on social media and it showed in his fights. I thought other boxes from them would start to follow. You don’t need to even be controversial. You just need to be well liked and maybe be in the same circle as other Stars with a decent following.Spud MK2 wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025, 11:44i agree so why doesn’t’professional boxingRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025, 10:51Most of Misfits guys are very active on social media and have huge followings. then you for KSI who has millions of followers too.
