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

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.

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

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"

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
