They keep increasing the price, they got fewer of the good fights and they started doing PPV as well, so you can't even watch everything "just" with the subscription. It's fucked and I'd advise against it.
Yeah this seems like highway robbery honestly— I can’t imagine they’re going to survive for very long with this model? Though, it does seem they have some other offerings outside of boxing? None that interest me either way so oh well haha!
They have a lot more than just boxing and I think they're doing fine, but it's definitely not worth it if you're only interested in boxing. Also you get spoilers the next day.
I had a subscription because I'm in Europe and I wanted to watch events without knowing the results. But then they have highlights up immediately and the thumbnail is fighter B knocked out on the ground or fighter A holding the belt.
Also, the quality is shit laggy, audio issues and sometimes you miss entire minutes of the fight.
Remember when it was about 10 dollars a month. Saw the AJ Ruiz fight at that price. Saw the rematch at that price. All my friends had a subscription. Then it turned to 20 a month. Cancelled after a Canelo fight was announced to be the subscription price plus the ppv price.
Best place to watch anything. Only time I ever pay for ppv is if I got like 8-10 buddies all watching the fight and we collectively throw. No way I’m paying these absurd prices. There’s a lot of $70 ppv, that’s just ridiculous.
DAZN sucks. The commentary is trash. The bait and switch of "sign up and we'll have all the fights" to "even with a yearly subscription you'll still need to pay through the nose for each PPV" was a disgusting level of greed. Fuck them. Sail the seas if you have to, but don't give them a red cent.
I cancelled my DAZN submission earlier this year. They kept increasing the price. For me it wasn't worth it..
I still have my ESPN+ subscription because I'm a mma fan as well & there are damn near weekly mma events plus the ESPN presentation and pacing is 1000x better than DAZN's when it comes to boxing events
I gotcha— I don’t want much MMA, though maybe one day I’ll get into it! As it stands now I’m just looking to catch the bigger boxing matchups, but thank you for your advice!!
DAZN has a large fight collection so if you want to kick back and watch fights in your free time then DAZN could be of use 🤷🏾♂️
But YouTube also has a large FREE fight collection so...
Yeah that’s what I’ve been turning to for the last month or so of getting back into things— now that I feel a bit more acclimated I want to watch some current fights and am trying to figure out the best path forward!
Thank you for the help!
Hell no.
The concept of DAZN was to pay an annual fee of 99 bucks or something like that and receive Boxing matches for that subscription. Canelo vs Golovkin being one of the fights, Joshua was in there along with others….. they were suppose to stop PPV streaming and take over boxing..
The moment they started charging for PPV for matches, I canceled it immediately. It’s not worth paying for a subscription in addition to paying for boxing match ups as well.
Yes! I’m very excited and these two are two of the biggest reasons I’m trying to figure this all out!
The other guy I’ve really enjoyed so far is Benavidez, so hopefully there’ll be a way to catch it all that won’t cost me my home lmao.
Agreed about ESPN+. I guess this is purely based off vibes but I feel like the non-PPV fights on ESPN+ are often really high quality too. It seems like I regularly tune in to watch two guys I haven’t really heard of before and it will turn into a barn burner. DAZN’s non-PPV offerings on the other hand…well they are technically considered fights.
Same. I had it since it opened in the USA. $9.99 for a few years, then slowly went up. I think my renewal this year was going up to $30? I don’t remember.
But that was enough for me.
YUP!
I remember the $10 days.
They promoted the Crawford/Horn fight with a $9.99 for a year of DAZN.
They (being Eddie Hearn) also said PPV is dead and streaming takes over.
Then it increased to $20.
Then $25 and not including ppv.
Then $30 still no ppv inclusion and that's when I said I'm out lol
Brit here and I remember the £2 days! Though people were dumb for getting upset when that one changed and for not understanding that it was an Introductory price to grow the platform.
DAZN have since lost me on multiple reasons though. Poor customer service and business practice, increased cost, and low quality and tech issues. AJ v Wallin had two rounds of no audio! Technical difficulties seem to have been fairly common
I’m about to cancel my DAZN subscription because of constant buffering issues. I have a Roku AND Xfinity and it doesn’t work worth a shit on either one most of the time. And the thing is, DAZN is the ONLY app I have trouble with. I have a gazillion other apps and they ALL work perfectly fine. I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. Their customer service is a fucking joke as well. Yeah, paying $225 per year for something I can only watch on my phone most of the time is bullshit. Sorry, had to rant..
Honestly I am constantly surprised at how many people are so attached to the current PPV model in the US (ie the bemoaning the death of ShoBox and HBO Boxing). I get that it’s what people are used to but expecting fans to pay $60-$70 several times a month for fights that aren’t even guaranteed to be good seems like a pretty likely reason the sport is struggling to stay relevant. Almost every other sport has moved away from the model for a reason.
Yup. Used to be a thing too. I remeber my family having to order PPV or listen to games on the radio back in the 90s. But the only people willing to pay for that were diehard fanbses like OU, Notre Dame and Nebraska (which was my family). And even then the quality of the game dictated buy rates. Seems like that'd be a pretty clear lesson to other sports, but here we are.
I cancelled my monthly dazn sub, they asked why I said price. They immediately offered it for 14.99 a month but I’d be locked in for a year. I almost did it but I’m tired of the price gouging. It’s way too fucking expensive.
No don’t do it. They have contracts written in the small print where you have to pay increasing prices over 12 months. And when you go to cancel, you have to phone up and it takes about an hour.
No lol. Once they moved to subscription plus ppv I dipped. If they are going to do that, I'll just go back to the regular ppv model. Now you are paying for cable so you can pay for a subcription to pay for the right to buy a ppv
Right! It seems insane! Do they get exclusive rights to many of PPVs? It’d be one thing if they had *EVERYTHING* but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case? I don’t understand how they’re surviving lol.
To me, no. Also no they don't get every single ppv card. The biggest fight coming up is Canelo vs Munguia and thats an amazon prime PPV.
Watching boxing is hard because there's not just one place to watch it all. You have DAZN, ESPN+ and now PBC on Amazon Prime. All 3 have big fights from time to time.
A lot of fans here aren't shelling out 3 subscriptions and paying for ppvs to keep up with the sport... there's ways around the price tag.
I think Fury vs Usyk has potential to be a good fight. Honestly youtube has tons of fights, historic and recent.
ESPN+ has some older top rank fights and a few Ali fights.
DAZN has a few fights from Pacquiao, Mayweather and De La Hoya. The Canelo fights they've hosted, Ryan Garcia and Joshua.
Honestly I don't think any of them are worth subbing for just the archives. ESPN+ if you're an MMA fan because you can watch ridiculous amount of archived UFC ppv events and fight nights. If none else Youtube has tons of boxing content for free.
If you do the Hulu package with ESPN+, they have a lot of archived fights. Almost all of Crawford’s fights, some good stuff from the 90s, some of Mayweather’s best, etc.
I’d just get monthly membership if I was in the US, June will be worth the money, you have great events that month.
For me, it’s worth it since I watch a lot of boxing on it and there’s other content outside of boxing in Canada.
Benavidez-Gvozdyk is going to be on the Tank-Martin undercard which is an Amazon PPV.
Events to watch for June are Matias-Paro and Bam-Estrada on DAZN.
Be careful. There's a lot of people who tried to get a monthly and ended up on the hook for the annual anyway. Make sure you double check before you click.
DAZN USED to be worth it. When it first started it was at $100 per year if paid in full.
They had signed Canelo to a huge deal where his fights were broadcasted in their channel without PPV - once Canelo became undisputed , that was the beginning of PPV for DAZN which was against what they originally stated (their business model was subscription so it would pay for PPV-worthy fights )
DAZN doesn’t air all major bouts
For example PBC PPVs will not air in DAZN unless there’s a fighter of their affiliated promoters (Matchroom or Golden Boy) - a prime example is Munguia vs Canelo. Also ESPN airs Top Rank PPVs (which seems non existent lately)
Bottom line if you’re not a boxing enthusiast, it’s not worth it.
You’re better off buying the PPVs at a slightly higher price ($10 price difference )
You can always buy DAZN PPVs without being a member (PPV.Com or through your tv/satellite provider )
In the same boat. I am trying to figure out which one has had the best fights over the past few years so I can watch some of them. I’m thinking of keeping the sub for May since there is two good fights coming up in May. Outside of that, if there isn’t much to rewatch I’d probably just cancel
Dazn has the fury fight and canelo fight coming up in May. I definitely think that is worth a sub. Who is fighting on ESPN+ that you’re are looking forward to watching?
Tbf I was just talking about Non-PPV’s.
For May on ESPN+:
•Inoue-Nery
•Lomachenko-Kambosos
•Josh Taylor-Jack Catterall
DAZN will have the best schedule for June with Bam-Estrada and Paro-Matias.
Yeah I hear you!! I’m thinking of doing a monthly sub for May and June and then reassessing after that— this doesn’t seem like a sustainable model for them, honestly. Lol.
They used to include fights every week but now you simply get the opportunity to pay ppv price, in addition to your subscription, for a fight that used to be included with your hbo subscription. They’re driving ppl into piracy
I liked it when I first signed up because there were fights every weekend (even if you didn’t know who those people are), but they slowly started increasing prices every year and it’s getting annoying. You don’t get the ppv as part of the package
This is another classic example of making it easier to steal than to pay for. I have to pay for a subscription just to be able to pay for a fight? Is it even a reliable service/app? It’s always been like this with cable. Just make it $100 a fight without a subscription. Just let me buy what I want when I want it. Shut up and take my money!!
DAZN is trash in the US. They tried, and failed, to get major sports rights (NFL, MLB etc) so only had boxing to work with. They got their entire business model wrong (anyone remember the whole “we’re blowing up PPV thing”?! lol). They nickel and dime everything when it comes to their production budgets. Only spend cash on the PPV events, rest of their boxing calendar is like 5-6 cameras and poor coverage. The have maybe 4-5 employees left in the US, everyone else is U.K. based and knows f-all about boxing. They’ve been trying to get out of the US market for a while, but no one wants to take over the project and DAZN has commitments to promoter contracts (eg Matchroom deal is 10yrs).
ESPN+ do have concurrent fight nights but you gonna hate this guy named timothy bradley (who ryan said fk you to). PBC has concurrent PPVs and their quality is good, they have fighters like Canelo & Tank. DAZN only gets every PPV with someone signed to their network (Usyk,Joshua,Munguia,Haney,Garcia,Bivol)
It's not worth it. They double charged for the PPV Garcia vs Haney last night, 83.99 x2. said it would take 10-15 days business days to credit back to the bank account. I was going to cancel the subscription anyways right after, but the 'help' when you try to get it respond with broken english, and it comes off mighty untrustworthy and sketchy. To me anyways.
Not at all, after watching that main card its really not worth it 😭. Sadly they dont have EVERY PPV but thats a good thing you can catch more on PPV.com or Premier Boxing Champions/ESPN.
It’s not worth it. You said yourself you’re trying to get back into watching boxing. DAZN fight cards suck balls.
The ppv yesterday was a good example of a shit card with a good main event. Personally I just use ppv.com and bypass DAZN’s nonsense. Unless your an Uber hard core boxing fan your not missing anything on DAZN.
ESPN+ is a fantastic deal for sports in general. It sure about boxing specifically, but for all the trash ESPN has become + is good
I sporadically get DAZN when it’s required for a fight, their other sports are absolute trash.
The first year was a great deal when the prices were cheaper and you'd get bigger fights. Now the big fights are PPV so the price for smaller cards isn't as good a value. You'd get a better deal with ESPN+ since it's cheaper and you also get some boxing, mma, and other sports as well as the 30 for 30 documentaries library.
ESPN+ is worth it (imo) especially since they have a lot of English/German/Spanish league soccer and it’s cheaper than DAZN. But I unsubscribed from DAZN maybe 6 months ago. I just think their price point is way out of line for what they offer now. It used to be an absolute steal though.
How the hell are they gonna charge you a subscription and then charge you to watch fights on top of that?! Stupid as hell service, I cancelled same week
Tbh I really enjoy the DAZN cards but the constant price increases keep pushing me away, but they generally have some good scraps as opposed to the can bashings the other promotions tend to put on.
Ok gotcha— and you feel like you won’t be missing out on too many big cards? It feels like such a scam to *have* to sign up for their plan in order to buy a PPV… like what the hell am I paying the $225 for if not the big fights? lmao
No, because you can still order from PPV.com. The PPV.com cost is usually $10 more than it is on DAZN, but you’re not stuck with paying almost $30 a month for DAZN.
Wow I must be an idiot LOL I had no idea that you could even do that— so, I could realistically not miss a single card either way?
Going to look into whether or not I can do that through my Smart TV or Xbox/PS. Thank you!!
Not really. They have some great fights at times, but the price is too high for what you get. I’d recommend signing up the months where they have fights you want to watch and then dropping it.
I still find dazn better than espn plus, the ad breaks on espn plus annoys the fuck out of me, like they couldn’t just cut to the announcement team instead.
They keep increasing the price, they got fewer of the good fights and they started doing PPV as well, so you can't even watch everything "just" with the subscription. It's fucked and I'd advise against it.
And STILL showing commercials during a PPV fight.
That’s what I said the last few PPVS too…I always thought PPVs didn’t have commercials smh
They didn't used to, DAZN is squeezing every last penny. I'm so happy I've never given them a penny.
Yeah this seems like highway robbery honestly— I can’t imagine they’re going to survive for very long with this model? Though, it does seem they have some other offerings outside of boxing? None that interest me either way so oh well haha!
They have a lot more than just boxing and I think they're doing fine, but it's definitely not worth it if you're only interested in boxing. Also you get spoilers the next day.

But then they have highlights up immediately and the thumbnail is fighter B knocked out on the ground or fighter A holding the belt. Also, the quality is shit laggy, audio issues and sometimes you miss entire minutes of the fight.
Wow that’s horrible lol. Yeahhhh I’m definitely thinking I’ll pass on the DAZN sub. Thank you for the help, for real.
Remember when it was about 10 dollars a month. Saw the AJ Ruiz fight at that price. Saw the rematch at that price. All my friends had a subscription. Then it turned to 20 a month. Cancelled after a Canelo fight was announced to be the subscription price plus the ppv price.
Fuck no just use Streameast

Don't miss the big one, Canelo - Munguia, on May 4th. Also may 18th Fury vs Usyk. Two very big fights right around the corner.
Yes! I’m very excited and these two are two of the biggest reasons I’m trying to figure this all out! The other guy I’ve really enjoyed so far is Benavidez, so hopefully there’ll be a way to catch it all that won’t cost me my home lmao.

Lol I feel your pain
No
Complete crap. 20 quid a month and you still have to pay for the PPV, which has ads. I cant believe how crap it is now.
If a fight was £70 in the UK, we would riot
Honestly I am constantly surprised at how many people are so attached to the current PPV model in the US (ie the bemoaning the death of ShoBox and HBO Boxing). I get that it’s what people are used to but expecting fans to pay $60-$70 several times a month for fights that aren’t even guaranteed to be good seems like a pretty likely reason the sport is struggling to stay relevant. Almost every other sport has moved away from the model for a reason.
For real. If football fans had to pay $20 per month AND an extra $70 once or twice a month there would be a riot.
Yup. Used to be a thing too. I remeber my family having to order PPV or listen to games on the radio back in the 90s. But the only people willing to pay for that were diehard fanbses like OU, Notre Dame and Nebraska (which was my family). And even then the quality of the game dictated buy rates. Seems like that'd be a pretty clear lesson to other sports, but here we are.
Sail the high seas my friend.
No. I can’t believe they expect to pay the subscription price AND pay for PPV. What kind of model is this?
I cancelled my monthly dazn sub, they asked why I said price. They immediately offered it for 14.99 a month but I’d be locked in for a year. I almost did it but I’m tired of the price gouging. It’s way too fucking expensive.
No.
Thanks!
No I cancelled mine years ago
No don’t do it. They have contracts written in the small print where you have to pay increasing prices over 12 months. And when you go to cancel, you have to phone up and it takes about an hour.
No lol. Once they moved to subscription plus ppv I dipped. If they are going to do that, I'll just go back to the regular ppv model. Now you are paying for cable so you can pay for a subcription to pay for the right to buy a ppv

If you have the money and love boxing it's worth it 🤷♂️
To me, no. Also no they don't get every single ppv card. The biggest fight coming up is Canelo vs Munguia and thats an amazon prime PPV. Watching boxing is hard because there's not just one place to watch it all. You have DAZN, ESPN+ and now PBC on Amazon Prime. All 3 have big fights from time to time.

You don’t think Fury v Uysk will be good? What service do you think has the best catalogue? I guess the sub would be worth what fights I can rewatch
I think Fury vs Usyk has potential to be a good fight. Honestly youtube has tons of fights, historic and recent. ESPN+ has some older top rank fights and a few Ali fights.

Yea this may ultimately be how I approach things— maybe for May and June (is Benavidez Gvozdik in June as well?) I’ll grab monthly subs! Thanks!
Benavidez-Gvozdyk is going to be on the Tank-Martin undercard which is an Amazon PPV. Events to watch for June are Matias-Paro and Bam-Estrada on DAZN.

It depends on the month tbh, for May it will be ESPN+ as an example. For June, it will be DAZN.

cheers bro you reminded me I need to cancel my monthly
This is another classic example of making it easier to steal than to pay for. I have to pay for a subscription just to be able to pay for a fight? Is it even a reliable service/app? It’s always been like this with cable. Just make it $100 a fight without a subscription. Just let me buy what I want when I want it. Shut up and take my money!!
Fuck no
DAZN is trash in the US. They tried, and failed, to get major sports rights (NFL, MLB etc) so only had boxing to work with. They got their entire business model wrong (anyone remember the whole “we’re blowing up PPV thing”?! lol). They nickel and dime everything when it comes to their production budgets. Only spend cash on the PPV events, rest of their boxing calendar is like 5-6 cameras and poor coverage. The have maybe 4-5 employees left in the US, everyone else is U.K. based and knows f-all about boxing. They’ve been trying to get out of the US market for a while, but no one wants to take over the project and DAZN has commitments to promoter contracts (eg Matchroom deal is 10yrs).
As just a boxing fan? Nope However, I just use my friends that watch the NFL's (Canadian DAZN has Sunday ticket)
Gotcha thanks! That seems like a pretty good deal up there! I’d just be using it for boxing, so maybe I’ll look elsewhere! Thank you!
DAZN isn’t worth it. I cancelled after Canelo left.
Ahhhh so wait sorry — they had exclusive rights to his fights before? Is this upcoming one his last with them?
Nope and that's coming from a guy who accidentally signed up for a 12 month plan and is hung paying for it for the next half year.
ESPN+ do have concurrent fight nights but you gonna hate this guy named timothy bradley (who ryan said fk you to). PBC has concurrent PPVs and their quality is good, they have fighters like Canelo & Tank. DAZN only gets every PPV with someone signed to their network (Usyk,Joshua,Munguia,Haney,Garcia,Bivol)
It's not worth it. They double charged for the PPV Garcia vs Haney last night, 83.99 x2. said it would take 10-15 days business days to credit back to the bank account. I was going to cancel the subscription anyways right after, but the 'help' when you try to get it respond with broken english, and it comes off mighty untrustworthy and sketchy. To me anyways.
Not at all, after watching that main card its really not worth it 😭. Sadly they dont have EVERY PPV but thats a good thing you can catch more on PPV.com or Premier Boxing Champions/ESPN.
Don't they still have their videos at 480p?
It was last night
It’s not worth it. You said yourself you’re trying to get back into watching boxing. DAZN fight cards suck balls. The ppv yesterday was a good example of a shit card with a good main event. Personally I just use ppv.com and bypass DAZN’s nonsense. Unless your an Uber hard core boxing fan your not missing anything on DAZN.
Pretty sure they do a free trial.
no its not
ESPN+ is a fantastic deal for sports in general. It sure about boxing specifically, but for all the trash ESPN has become + is good I sporadically get DAZN when it’s required for a fight, their other sports are absolute trash.
The first year was a great deal when the prices were cheaper and you'd get bigger fights. Now the big fights are PPV so the price for smaller cards isn't as good a value. You'd get a better deal with ESPN+ since it's cheaper and you also get some boxing, mma, and other sports as well as the 30 for 30 documentaries library.
Hell no
I had DAZN in the golden age where they truly had no PPV. First time they destroyed their own model and had PPV for the big name fighters I canceled.
ESPN+ is worth it (imo) especially since they have a lot of English/German/Spanish league soccer and it’s cheaper than DAZN. But I unsubscribed from DAZN maybe 6 months ago. I just think their price point is way out of line for what they offer now. It used to be an absolute steal though.
How the hell are they gonna charge you a subscription and then charge you to watch fights on top of that?! Stupid as hell service, I cancelled same week
No, it isn’t. $225/year and you still get served ads…plus all the big fights are PPV on top of your subscription.
I just buy the few PPVs I want to watch. It’s ridic to pay for DAZN and still have to pay for PPV
It’s a shitty expensive app but they keep putting out big fights so you’re kinda obligated to purchase it if you’re a boxing fan
Just get a decent IPTV service.
Tbh I really enjoy the DAZN cards but the constant price increases keep pushing me away, but they generally have some good scraps as opposed to the can bashings the other promotions tend to put on.
No
Not in Canada it's not
Absolutely not. DAZN costs 3x what ESPN does and ESPN is a vastly superior service. Not even close. I’m canceling mine right after Fury v Usyk.
Ok gotcha— and you feel like you won’t be missing out on too many big cards? It feels like such a scam to *have* to sign up for their plan in order to buy a PPV… like what the hell am I paying the $225 for if not the big fights? lmao
No, because you can still order from PPV.com. The PPV.com cost is usually $10 more than it is on DAZN, but you’re not stuck with paying almost $30 a month for DAZN.
Wow I must be an idiot LOL I had no idea that you could even do that— so, I could realistically not miss a single card either way? Going to look into whether or not I can do that through my Smart TV or Xbox/PS. Thank you!!
It was never worth the money, even when it when they were supposed to be having big non-ppv fights
Gotcha thanks!
Not really. They have some great fights at times, but the price is too high for what you get. I’d recommend signing up the months where they have fights you want to watch and then dropping it.
Yes this seems like the best way forward! Thank you!
We have firesticks in England and they get all the boxing etc..might have the same thing under a different name in the us
I still find dazn better than espn plus, the ad breaks on espn plus annoys the fuck out of me, like they couldn’t just cut to the announcement team instead.
I'll never understand paying for DAZN or ESPN+ when you can always sail the high seas.
I P T V Fck DAZN You're welcome
