DAZN branded an embarrassment for broadcasting shocking fights
Streaming service DAZN has come under fire again after a shocking night of basically white collar unlicensed boxing shown live from Sheffield on October 15.
DAZN agreed to show the event, as part of a big money deal with a YouTube Boxing promoter.
It must be said the shenanigans that went down would be better served in a social club with no cameras there to broadcast them.
The fact that influencers are gloving up to call themselves ‘boxers’ when they have little to no talent is terrible enough. But dressing it up as if it were a professional event is even worse.
Add to that DAZN, who are trying to be a significant network in boxing, believing it warrants an entire series is dumbfounding.
Not impressed with DAZN
Tyson Fury’s friend Isaac Lowe is clearly not impressed and wasn’t the only one after witnessing a specific female fight featuring an Only Fans performer.
“Wow, the [British] Boxing Board of Control should have something to do about this. How do you let this go on TV?
“Promoters should be embarrassed by themselves. [They’ll do] anything for money. People’s lives are on the line.
“DAZN Boxing, what are you doing here?”
Lowe quickly received a barrage of replies that agreed with his every word.
Fellow professional Jesse Hart said:
“Is this anything?”
The rest of the comments had damaging implications unless the standards get raised massively.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
This sort of fight should be in a club so it can be supervised properly.
It’s pretty comical with the commentary.
Surely it’s an exhibition this won’t be sanctioned?
I couldn’t believe this was a real fight!
Nothing to do with BBBoC. Some other new independent commissions are seeing quick paydays.
Is this what you mean by ‘Games Changed?’
Boxing as a sport is gradually being ruined by crap like this; terrible judges score cards and drug cheats!
Boxing has been a joke for a long time.
Women’s boxing is carrying the sport at the minute
DAZN is producing worldy content again. Game changed. Thankfully I canceled my subscription.
On the same night as the best women’s boxing event, we have ever hosted! Game changed, indeed.
This should’ve been stopped. She clearly didn’t want to be in there and wasn’t prepare
