Lol they’ll avoid this brodi. They know DAZN is a terrible network. It’s an APP. AN APP!!!
They can talk about cheap fights all they want- we get free fights in America were not concerned with cheap. That’s not a bonus for them.
It also cuts fighter earning potential down to salary like wages. Except it kills off viewership which will end affecting fighter paydays. Eventually fighters will no longer opt to fight on it.
Etc etc

The DAZN fanboys are definitely slow to respond to this. Deep down they know DAZN is a cancer to any sport. Unpopular app, charging $20 a month for pathetic cards like Estrada vs Beamon, fighters not getting exposure and slowly fading into obscurity.

They’re so hard headed they don’t want to live in a reality where proud Black men are the most successful businessman in Boxing. They’re hatred For Al Haymon is outright racist. Hearns failed to do what he was supposed to do with Boxing on the app. Arum punks special ed on a daily basis.

That is true. I used to keep up with Bellator a lot with their heavyweight tournament, occasional freak shows like Kimbo vs Shamrock, and MVP. I don't know what's going on with them now.

Dazn has killed the marketability of fighters.

Numbers never lie and Dazn viewership is absolutely dreadful.

When Dazn goes under in the near future, these fighters are going to find out what a bad career move they made.

They're losing rights fees in Canada. Don't know if they can't afford them or of the leagues dropped them because of poor service

Right. All the criticism for Al Haymon is racially coded, they hate the fact that a black man has largest stable of boxers. They hate the fact that Black American champions are mostly all signed to Al Haymon.

Notice how the DAZN fan boys still haven’t showed up to this thread.

Taking people money and not delivering on the services they promised. It's next to impossible to get your money back

I subscribed based on your promise that you would broadcast La Liga and Libertadores. This is a contravention of sec 52 of Canada's Competition Act. You advertised something, took our money and then backed out of the cotracts! Just canceled my subscription. Bye.

You Al Haymon **** sucking groupie! 🤣😂
Why are you and that other lame so worried about DAZN and it's viewers and everything that has to do with it??
I have a DAZN subscription but I don't give a flying fucc how many subscribers they have?? If I was the only subscriber in the world I would still keep paying my subscription and I could care less that I'm the only one... Lol
I pay $10 a month for boxing just about every other weekend from DAZN.... That's a great fuccing deal!
So how the fucc is DAZN a cancer to the sport???
I also pay for Showtime, FS1, ESPN and ESPN+ and I also have Fox. I care about boxing, not the network or the promoters.
You and that other biitch ass hoe are some straight lame's! 🤣
You hoes care more about the promoter than the sport itself,...
You both should dress like ******'s and just maybe Al Haymon will let both of you biitches suck his ****,.... 😅😂🖕🖕🖕
