DAZN 3 months later...(discussion)

[_Rexy_]

So it's been 3 months since the DAZN launch with Matchroom USA, and as I mentioned that very day it should be reviewed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Hearniacs agreed until they started to look at the cards that Eddie put out...Anyways, in the last three months


MATCHROOM USA:
10/06/2018 - Wintrust Arena, Chicago IL
10/20/2018 - TD Garden, Boston MA
10/27/2018 - Madison Square Garden (Theater) New York, NY
11/17/2018 - Kansas Star Arena, Mulvane, KS

UPCOMING:
01/18/2018 - Madison Square Garden (Theater) New York, NY
03/15/2018 - Liacouras Center Philadelphia, PA

First thing I noticed is after the Kansas card, these USA cards are getting more spread out. I originally thought that was a good thing since everyone was saying he was spreading himself too thin...but two months between the Kansas card and next weeks card, and we still have 5 fights with TBA opponents...six days out. That's pathetic.

As far as his UK cards on DAZN, they have provided at least a few good fights (AJ vs Povetkin, Usyk vs Bellew) But there have been ZERO PPV quality fights which is what they were advertising. Also, losing the Whyte vs Chisora fight to Showtime is a black eye. Especially to everyone who got a 1 month free trial for the Canelo fight, and then had zero boxing for the next month after that (dafuq were they thinking?) but for the most part, this has been a failure for boxing IMO.

Feel free to post your thoughts and discuss the first three months of DAZN.

You forgot to mention the GBP and WBSS cards....

Fair. There has been 1 GBP card, and it was awful IMO. But at least it got DAZN mentioned.

WBSS has been fun, and I can't wait for the second round when it will heat up, but so far the WBSS has been the only saving grace.

Went from

"We're stacking these cards doe"

First 3 months haven't been good at all. Got a feeling though this time next week things are gunna look a hell of a lot healthier

It reminds me of netflix when most studio companies started to withdraw their licenses so netflix just started to make their own TV shows, except they don't have talented script writers and produce mostly paint-by-numbers garbage. Same thing here. Crap, nice packaging and appealing price mark, but mostly crap.

here's hoping. I paid for a full year when I could (should) have cancelled after round one of the WBSS and signed up again come round 2. I haven't even opened the app since the Canelo fight (which I didn't even care about, but I had nothing better to do that evening)

So other than WBSS, they had one fight that I was actually excited to watch (Usyk/Bellew) (Which was on in the middle of the day, so I was an hour late to my company Christmas party...that's actually a +1 for DAZN though )

Im a fan of the WBSS and know one of the Championship Hearn first signed to DAZN . Even then I still didn't purchase the App .
When Canelo signed it made it worth it for me to buy .
Unfortunately as much as I want it Not to be . It Has been ( for the most part ) a Disappointment for me So Far .
