What do you make of the PBC & Amazon Prime deal? 🤔👇

[@Kugann]

won't benefit the sport

[@williemays2488]

​@@Kugann200 million subscribers with NFL, Yankees and other sports on their platform...ok!

[@Kugann]

@@williemays2488 how will that benefit the sport? ESPN is a huge platform and Shakur Stevenson sells like 3,000 tickets.

[@emmawillis7823]

@@williemays2488how many of them are boxing fans?

[@d.b.cooper1]

Great, most people Amazon in both USA & UK as a basic expense so more sport for free can only be good for consumers & the sport. Unlike DAZN who literally offer nothing else other than boxing unless you're into saudi & women football. Heard they're gonna show most the undercard of PPV fights for free too on Amazon, works well & we get it for free in UK/Ireland even on PPV.

[@Kugann]

what happened to Joe Markovski?

[@emmawillis7823]

Nothing, he turns up for the major fights only now

[@Kugann]

@@emmawillis7823 he’s not even at them anymore.

[@emmawillis7823]

@@Kugann he was at the misfit show and the AJ show. He’ll probs be in Saudi

[@d.b.cooper1]

He got a promotion to CEO of DAZN North America so got one of his mates from the pub to take his old role...although Joe still turns up to MISFITS shows....which shows you where the real money is

[@d.b.cooper1]

DAZN is pointless af in the UK, £10-20 a month & then anything decent is still on PPV for which you're charged an arm & a leg still. 0 offering other than boxing, no one is tuning in for saudi footie or women champions league. Amazed Saudi's even gave DAZN football rights given their limited viewers vs sky, especially if they're meant to be sportwshing you'd think they'd take few million less for more exposure. Even TNT still have premier league, champions league, motogp, europa league, rugby & UFC.

[@stuartgould3111]

I pay £8 a month ?!?!?

[@rossthompson3568]

Happy with the boxing tbh. Conlon Gill, Cameron Taylor last 2 weeks, in UK I’ll watch Haney/prograis, bam v Sunny next two weeks… happy enough for my £9.99

[@d.b.cooper1]

@@rossthompson3568 Again you're a mintoirty even amongst hardcore boxing fans nvm the mass casuals upon which such platform rely for long term success. DAZN is still very niche in the UK & even AJ hasn't pulled those big numbers, unlike say MISFTS which is clearly now biggest sub driver. Even casuals I know who signed up for AJ like everyone else on social media will never buy DAZN again cause of it's dodgy subscription service that charges people twice & they can't cancel right away. You end up paying £20 for a non PPV fight that turns into £40 cause you can't cancel. AJ didn't work so now banking on Eubank v Benn for 1 last attmrpt at mass casuals

[@russellnewton6660]

I was lucky enough to pay my subscription upfront so I got it cheaper, what I’m not happy about is having to pay ppv on top of that, I honestly thought ppv was for none subscribers. I won’t be renewing.
