What you've all been waiting for!!

DAZN UK/US prices

For existing subs: £16.99/$14.99..

New subscribers: Need to purchase one month's sub (£7.99/$19.99) together with the PPV (£16.99/$14.99)..

So it works out the same, the month will cost you £24.89, but I guess you can enjoy any other cards that month.

@RobSmith0101 concluded: "Waste of money."

I find it weird anyone cancelling their DAZN subs for this is stupid. It’s a meaningless exhibition that I find weird why anyone would want to spend their time watching.

Yeh, cus you're not spending any more for the fight if you don't want to.

I think it's more principles..

Have DAZN actually put on more PPVs than Sky in 2022?

[maverick23]

Have DAZN actually put on more PPVs than Sky in 2022?

I’d imagine so but I’d say they’ve only out on one proper boxing PPV and that was Canelo/Golovkin.

Pretty shocking considering they said PPV wasn’t going to be a thing on DAZN, yet have been just as frequent as Sky & BT this year. And DAZN would have been even higher if one of their cards hadn’t fallen apart in a PED scandal. Not really surprising that people are cancelling subs on principle.

All bar one in the U.K. have been for non-traditional boxing. I think it’s just the Canelo/GGG that was a normal show being PPV. I still don’t think it should have been over here.

The rest (the first misfits show, have there been any others) are just for a completely different demographic and I have no interest in them so don’t care if they’re PPV or not.

I also don’t ever remember them saying there’d be no PPV in the U.K. I know they went full on with the PPV is dead stuff in the US but they didn’t over here because it’s a completely different market where they can still generate good PPV buys.

What they did promise was the best fights, only paying a monthly fee.

Hearn said later it was inevitable.. for certain fights.

They said no PPV. Then they said “mega-fights only”’ PPV. They were lying.

[Ruthless-RKO]

In 2018, DAZN announced their arrival in boxing with an ambitious plan. To snag some of the world’s top boxers. the most well-known promoters, and launch a dedicated boxing channel that was affordable and without extra charges.

I could be wrong but I don’t ever remember them saying no PPV in the U.K. They certainly did in the US with the PPV is dead rhetoric.

DAZN was introduced in US a few years before UK.

By time it came to the UK, US DAZN we’re already considering PPV.

They might not have explicitly said it.. but what’s the difference really.

All a bunch bullshit really.

Hearn said the likes of Usyk-AJ would have to be PPV, but the usual Whyte-Wallin and Parker-Chisora would be on normal sub as supposed to they would have been PPV on Sky.

Yeah. I just think it’s OTT saying they’re cancelling DAZN in the U.K. because fights are on PPV.

I wasn’t happy that the Canelo/GGG fight was as they’d already said it wouldn’t be but people should judge DAZN on what they get and whether it’s value for money. There’s been times this year (January) where I thought it wasn’t but the 2 shows this week on there are almost worth the £7.99 on their own.

Undercard Press Release

The undercard attractions have been announced for the latest installment of the Global Titans Fight Series taking place Sunday, November 13, from the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai and live on pay-per-view, headlined by all-time-great boxing superstar Floyd “Money” Mayweather in an exhibition bout against UK-based YouTuber turned pro-boxer Deji Olatunji in the main event.

In the light heavyweight co-main event, Manchester’s Tommy “TNT” Fury (8-0, 4 KOs), will return to the ring to face New York-based Puerto Rican slugger Paul Bamba (5-2, 4 KOs) in a potentially explosive six-round non-title fight. Fury, the outspoken 23-year-old television personality and half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, will be looking to impress against Bamba and secure a long-awaited showdown against YouTube superstar turned fighter, Jake Paul.

In his most recent ring appearance, Fury scored a dominant six-round decision over Daniel Bocianski in April of this year. The 33-year-old Bamba, a fighter, ex-Marine and celebrity trainer from Puerto Rico and now living in New York, is coming off a second-round knockout victory over Francisco Morelos last September.

A world-class women’s bout will also highlight the undercard, as former two-time world champion and top super featherweight contender Delfine Persoon (47-3, 19 KOs) of Belgium will face proven Tunisian/German veteran Ikram Kerwat (11-3, 5 KOs) in a 10-round showdown.

37-year-old Persoon, a railway policewoman in her homeland, held the Women’s WBC Lightweight Championship for five years and made nine successful defenses. Best known for her heart-stopping two-fight series against top pound-for-pound fighter Katie Taylor, Persoon was last seen in action in May of this year when she won a close but unanimous 10-round decision over Elhem Mekhaled in Dubai.

With a combat-sports history dating back to age four, Kerwat has is trained by boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. along with former World Super Middleweight Champion Sven Ottke and won the WBC International Lightweight Championship in 2016 with a first-round stoppage over Gina Chamie. The 38-year-old Kerwat was last seen winning a shutout unanimous decision over Tanzania’s Happy Daudi in March of this year.

In a special attraction, former WWE and AEW Wrestling superstar Bobby Fish will make his boxing debut against Ghanaian middleweight Boateng Pempreh (2-3, 2 KOs) in a four-round super middleweight slugfest. A former amateur kickboxer known for his striking-based wrestling style, the 45-year-old Fish will be looking to “walk the walk” in the ring after being highly critical of compatriot CM Punk’s MMA exploits.

The card will also include unbeaten 21-year-old prospect J’Hon Ingram (3-0, 3 KOs) stepping in for a four-round lightweight bout against Japanese kickboxing star Koji “Kouzi” Tanaka, who most recently stopped Mayweather’s bodyguard Ray Sadeghi in a custom rules match in September. Originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Ingram trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas and has been a frequent sparring partner of Mayweather’s.

The night will also feature an appearance by undefeated Cuban born Dubai resident and WBC International Super Featherweight Champion Jadier Herrera (8-0, 6 KOs), facing hard-hitting Colombian power-puncher Franklin Manzanilla (21-8, 20 KOs) in a 10-round duel.

In an intriguing eight round bout, once-beaten middleweight Harley Benn (9-1, 1 KO) of London, England, the son of former two-weight world champion Nigel Benn, returns to action in a battle against undefeated WBC Middle East Welterweight Champion Faizan Anwar (14-0, 6 KOs) of Calcutta, India, as they square off in a middleweight bout fought at a 155-pound catchweight

Rounding out the stacked night of action will be four-round light heavyweight matchup, former “Love Island” season four winner Jack Fincham will make his professional boxing debut in a tough test against Alameda, California’s Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor (2-3, 1 KO). The 31-year-old Fincham, who has a background in amateur boxing, will be looking to finally show off his ring skills, but has vowed to return to reality TV if he loses. The 33-year-old Taylor, a former sparring partner of Jake Paul, is also an accomplished MMA competitor and actor.

It makes you wonder where boxing will be in 10yrs time.
The end of boxing has been predicted as imminent since the 1950s when TV took off .. however now it seems to have really boxed itself into such a niche it's unable to feed itself to grow

[Ruthless-RKO]

[My T Sharp]

Rumoured opponents are Rylan Clark or Phil Tufnell.

[keithmoonhangover]

I don't think Jack Johnson got this much money when he did exhibitions in his 60's.

[Oiky]

Funny old world, there's actually fully grown men that will entertain this

[Ruthless-RKO]

Why does Tommy take John everywhere??

[forcefraser]

Is Fury still on this?

[maverick23]

Is Fury still on this?

Yep - Tommy is. John is trying to talk himself into a fight with Anthony Taylor.
