Worst part is that I'm thinking Andrade won't be fighting BJS for the WBO belt which in my humble opinion would be one of the worst (and he's made a lot) moves on his career talking legacy wise.
I'm sure he's getting big money and he will be happy with that but if he's fighting cab drivers on this platform I'm not interested at all.
People are hyper critical on here. It's $9.99 which is 1/2 the price most were complaining on here a couple months back when most expected $20 a month. Given you get a month free you can get quite a few decent fights for nothing in America,U.K. Side we get a few extra for free too.
What he hasn't announced yet is his first ppv equivalent; I think he said the first would be in December?
Miller vs Joshua a genuine possibility in New York? Was Joshua's two fight wembley deal back to back or could they squeeze another in?
Who else might he sign? I still think the charlo brothers may end up signing ?
The price is fine; the issue is that, after all of that talk, Eddie Hearn has yet to be able to deliver the amount of quality content needed to justify the price.
Showtime gives you 20 Showtime Championship Boxing cards, another 15 or so ShoBox cards feature 50/50 fights, a good 5-7 different shows worth watching, and access to Showtimes full content library.
For your $11 a month, you get 3-5 live boxing cards, full access to everything else on the app.
What are you earnestly getting with you $10 from DAZN?
With the first month free, you've paid for the late October card, maybe a prospects show from the UK, and maybe a fight from WBSS.

Waste of time
You can’t expect a new launch to have absolutely everything at launch, inevitably it will grow overtime. Given you can get the first month for free I wouldn’t be worrying about that, you get to watch joshu vs potvetkin for nothing - then you can make a decision mid October whether to carry on based on what new cards setup at that time. Sounds like a win win to me

Not bad but not exactly a big splash. Also the concern is that Vargas and Andrade fight guys outside of the top 10 which would make for low interest fights. Miller wouldn't be fighting anyone threatening. Just another card of guys who if they're the goods need to face high level opponents to prove how good they are, generate popularity, have a breakout performance but instead are staying at the same level.
I'm not trying to be over criticial, I'm sure it'll be better than a lot of the shit cards we've all sat through before. But I figured the first US show would have a recognisable name in a near 50/50 main event to grab attention.
For guys like Spence who are headlining a much bigger platform in SHO and making good money, it made no sense making the move. Maybe one of the Charlo's will eventually get upset at not headlining and fighting on UCs and make the move, but aren't at that stage yet.
And Thurman gets all the big fights and makes great money. Why the hell would he make the move?
Hearn could theoretically sign some of these guys if he offers ****** money like $5 million a fight to Mikey Garcia. Will he do that? He is big at looking at the balance sheet as he says and doesn't like losing money on shows, but he will have no choice IMO.
They already said one won't sign unless the other does, and there is a rumor that they will be having their own show in Houston next under their own banner. No need to be an employee when you can own.
