Who would accept the increase to £7.99 on the basis of their current schedule?

Punters must be leaving in their droves.

I’m still ok with it but really disappointed in this card. I would have paid £20 to see Whyte/Wallin so the way I look at it is that the old PPV price is 2 1/2 months of DAZN. The Mikey Garcia show this Saturday isn’t anything special, the Andrade show is good in November (albeit the main event is a bit meh), there will be Golden Boy shows (hopefully Garcia/Diaz on one of them) and we’ll get Lopez/Kambosos which I want to watch now.

Lob in a few other shows from Mexico/Italy/Spain and the value isn’t too bad.

I’m just frustrated with the lack of U.K. shows, the quality of the whole Sheffield show and the current paltry undercard for the Whyte show.

If you are a Boxing fan, particularly one who doesn't have Sky Sports, DAZN works out fine at £7.99,

Of course, if the DAZN/BT deal delivers, then you end up with a price point much closer to that of Sky Sports.

I'm happy enough with Sky Sports and BT for my overall sports fix and then will continue to stream DAZN and the PPVs when I fancy something enough.

Think he had a fight in Barcelona a month or so back.

I’ve got both BT and Sky Sports and because I’m primarily a boxing fan I get more value for money out of my DAZN subs than the other 2 although I watch all of the UFC on BT.

This is the first time in a long time where we’ll almost be getting a live show every week in the U.K. so hopefully that continues.

Granted if they get Billam Smith a good opponent and some solid undercard fights then it’s not a write off but the main/co main are both really disappointing.

Not sure what happened to Billam Smith supposed show in Bournemouth, also I thought the McCarthy rematch was on the cards? That would be a much better fight than a EBU voluntary
