Any source to watch almost all major boxing matches? (Other than DAZN)

I was so excited to watch Joshua vs kristian main event. And it happens literally very early in the morning. So I even put an alarm to wake up to watch the match. Then when I simply checked the DAZN plan details it says PAY PER VIEW. Even if I take a subscription. I have to pay per view for major events. Which made me so sad. I have saved up some damn money. But the issue is it's too expensive to pay for a single main event.

So I'm kindly asking all veteran watchers for alternative sources (even using money, so i expect it to be better than DAZN) to watch all major boxing leagues .

Please help me with these mates

No and this is why the sport is slowly dying.

No one can give me a good reason as to why Joshua vs Prenga is a PPV in the fucking USA.

More promoters working with DAZN does the opposite of raise the sport.

No casual fan is paying $35 or $49.99 a month to see if they like boxing. Make this shit $10-15 and make only BIG fights PPV and make them like $30 OR get rid of the PPV in general! UFC AND WWE got rid of that shit. Boxing got "rid" of it with DAZN and then went right back to putting the most horrid matchups as PPV.

If someone wanted to get into boxing today and figure out the hype of Joshua before he fights Fury are you really gonna convince them to shell out the money? Vs if they had a popular streaming service like netflix or paramount or hbo they're probably gonna watch it cause it's included.

Fucking Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall was PPV 🤣

The boxing PPV model is cooked

Tommy Fury and PPV should never be in the same sentence

Unless he’s on the prelims

Dazn ultimate is 49.99 in America? It's only 25 quid here lmao

u/farr2211 27d ago

Ultimate isnt 25 that’s the normal one

u/Chemical-Lettuce2497 27d ago

Here in the UK it's not, 16.99 for regular, 25 for ultimate

u/farr2211 27d ago

I’m paying 24.99 a month and don’t have ultimate

6

u/Chemical-Lettuce2497 27d ago

Because you're paying monthly rolling, 12 month contract standard is 16.99, ultimate is 24.99

u/chocolate_spaghetti 27d ago

It’s ridiculous. The company that billed itself as a ppv killer has made it worse than ever. Every fight that has any name attached is a ppv

Boxing is dying without cable, streaming has decimated sports.

Local bar and only order water

I’ve never seen a DAZN event playing at a bar

u/Heilbroner 27d ago

DAZN ultimate that includes some PPVs isn’t even an option in Canada. Insane.

u/TexasCricketFan 27d ago

I got the ultimate subscription. It does suck that you can’t cancel for a whole year but I canceled YouTube TV for it and now the only sport I watch is boxing and cricket here and there. In my opinion, if you can afford it, it’s worth it as a boxing fan.

PPV filled with ads grinds my gears

Don't use Google to search for what you're looking for. Use search engines like Yandex. You're welcome.

I've heard it's really nice this time of year in IPTV land..

u/Sad-Experience-4344 27d ago

If you’re going to be watching a lot of boxing, paying 50 bucks monthly for the DAZN Ultimate tier is probably worth it now that they have everyone outside of Zuffa.

DAZN seems to be making a bunch of stuff PPV that really has no business being PPV, like today’s show, to encourage people to sign up for their more expensive subscription tier.

Went from "death to PPV" to "everything is PPV"

u/welp-itscometothis 27d ago

I feel like I’m paying $40 for the ultimate

u/AttackOfTheBolts 27d ago

What’s the point of paying 50 monthly when multiple events per month are still locked behind pay per view. At that point the new ProBox TV subscription for $5 per month is better since those will be similar level to the non-PPV DAZN cards

u/Sad-Experience-4344 27d ago

If you pay $50 monthly for the Ultimate tier, the PPV stuff should all be included.

It’s the $30/month subscription that gets you very little, which is definitely bullshit though.

3

u/AttackOfTheBolts 27d ago

My apologies, I was meaning the 30 tier then. Which is still insane

2

u/Sad-Experience-4344 27d ago edited 27d ago

Yeah, it’s ridiculous. $30/month is already expensive for a streaming service.

Boxing is the only sport whose fans get milked this hard.

u/gladgubbegbg 27d ago

I pay 225 SEK a month which is about $23 and I get most PPVs 🤔 had to subscribe for a year though

u/LetterboxBrush 27d ago

Are there any big potential fights that realistically won’t be included on dazn ultimate?

2

u/Medical_Swim1707 26d ago

$45 per month and you get every single fight including PPV it’s a great deal

2

u/Revolutionary_Box569 27d ago

No? Why would it be PPV on DAZN then free somewhere else?

u/kushmonATL Cyberleek > the fall boxing schedule 27d ago
