Boxing News: DAZN raises subscription price » July 5, 2023 – Fight News

Published

on





DAZN has announced that effective March 23, the monthly subscription price in the USA will be $24.99 a month or $224.99 a year. There is also an option to lock in $19.99 a month with a twelve month contract.
When the service started, it was $9.99 a month. Then the price was upped to $19.99 a month or $99 a year.
DAZN stated that the new pricing is “reflective of the steady increase in live sports and original content.”
The streaming service assures that long-term partnerships with Golden Boy and Matchroom mean that subscribers will get a boxing schedule of at least 50 top-tier fight nights annually as well as discounted PPV events and nonstop access to a multitude of other sporting events such as celebrity crossover boxing, MMA, women’s soccer, darts, pool and more.
DAZN seems more keen to increase coverage of all other types of sports. DAZN is also showing more and more lesser-known fighters, and then occasionally some top level fighters.
No longer adds up for me..
You do realize that you are passing up the opportunity to view people throwing darts.
And play poker.
I had DAZN for one year at $ 99.00 . I cancelled after the subscription was up. Worst boxing program and announcers with main event start times at 1:00 am . Not worth $ 12.00 a year.
It makes sense. More fighter’s are being signed and now hopefully they put on more fight’s. Boxing is a brutal sport and the fighter’s also need their money so it makes sense to up the price. Nothing is free. Lara Vs Wood is a solid match… we will get more like this I expect.
Got to keep pace with real inflation. I will be cancelling DAZN before my subscription renews.
Now they can show more dart contests and hire more diversities. Personally I don’t care if they raise it to $10,000 a day.
Still a great channel with lots of fights, but this is getting to be a tough decision to keep it…
LOL @ anyone who pays for this garbage!!! It’s 2023 ALL sports are free if you know the right website. Only a sucker throws his money away to cable companies.
What’s the right website? Inquiring minds want to know. And don’t tell me to jail break whatever they call that thing on side of the TV.
After launching with a anti-PPV message, DAZN launched their own PPV platform. DAZN made a long-term commitment to influencer boxing. DAZN is losing so much money even their billionaire backer is tired of losing money. Thus, the price increase. Their content is not great. Check out their 2023 schedule. It’s not great.
Too expensive already, and the content is decent at best. ESPN + is way more value for less money. DAZN wasting money on YouTube boxing, and putting best fights on PPV. I could be a CEO if my job was to just spend money. I will probably cancel after this weekend. No credible fights on the horizon.
$100 a year it was great deal. Not so much anymore. Goodbye DAZN!
I’ve had this for a few years now. I don’t buy the PPVs, but there have been a ton of great fights and I have been very happy with it. I don’t care about any of the other content other than the live boxing events. They are really pushing it with this much of an increase. I don’t think mine renews at this rate until November of 2023, so we’ll see how this year goes.
But wait before you cancel, I heard that starting in the summer they’re going to be having live drag queen story time. You don’t want to miss that 🙂
I rarely buy the PPV but last one was Wilder Fury 3 had 3 excellent fights on the undercard and a sensational main – not cheap but worth every penny. I can not watch women’s boxing and do not watch darts. Maybe DAZN should include MMA and Kickboxing or just show fewer events but quality main and undercards without total mismatches.
You don’t watch darts?! What are you, a dartphobe? Ya dartsist.
I had reservations about canceling my subscription late last year but am so glad I did now. The final straw was the Canelo-Triple G rubber match that was more of a swimming match than a fight. I may have well took the $65 I spent for that non-fight and wiped my ass with it. $100-$150 a year was passable for fights like Usyk-Joshua, Inoue-Donaire, Virgil Ortiz-Maurice Hooker, Estrada-Chocolatito, and Ryan Garcia-Luke Campbell. $225 w/o tax for the year is nothing short of outrageous. Then again, it’s the only way DAZN can think of making money given how much they have to pay Canelo for fighting on their network. Whatever.
The very second they lost Canelo it was all over for the platform. Add insult to injury, they bring back Canelo with a catch DAZN “PPV”…wtf!!? The content sucks and will soon see the sunset just like HBO Boxing.
Loved HBO boxing…i was sold on Michael Grant and Jermain Taylor for a long time. Hey, I was having fun!
What they really mean about 50 top-notch fights is about 45 of those with their over hyped prospect fighting some bum, and then four decent fights with one very good one. Women’s soccer? Pool? Darts, LOL? Glad I’m not stupid enough to pay for this stuff.
Initially…as with any increase in price.. questioned it…after being reasonable…DAZN…in my humble opinion…is worth the money…
DAZN was and is innovative in many aspects concerning boxing programming…to continue to be innovative,.eventually a price increase is necessary…DAZN programming is average to above average across the board…boxing matches…in fairness are competitive and fun to watch..(with a few exceptions, comes with the territory)…boxing analysis and shows…old fights between great fighters on demand….on fight day …fights began early… actually can watch many prelims …leading up to the main events,…and those fights are exciting..now adding boxing docs..IN FAIRNESS….DAZN is worth …more than worth the money each month that I would probably waste on something meaningless….pushing ESPN to be innovative as well….this is my opinion….Not just upset cause a price increase….is it reasonably necessary
..for a boxing platform that I can have easy access to anywhere …through an app on my phone or computer… absolutely!!!!
Just like Nylon Polymer posted.earlier..after the increase …if it does not meet expectations.,simply cancel…
GUYS…we can use this forum …to tell DAZN and others what we want in for them to earn our subscriptions…please make suggestions…TRUST ME ….this is being read by DAZN…ESPN…ETC…Tell them what we want…how to get our money…i.e….of course competitive fights…starts and ending times
…come up with some ideas don’t just bitch ….what do you want…boxing public is innovative as well,… suggestions?????
We would really like Wide World Of Sports, Wednesday Night Fights, and Friday Night Fights. Tuesday Night Fights from a few years back pretty good too.
looks like a lot of people will not renew great choice not worth it will end up like hbo boxing

What time is Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III today? Schedule, main card start time for 2023 exhibition boxing fight – Sporting News

Published

on





Floyd Mayweather once again steps inside the ring to compete in an exhibition fight. This time, he faces someone with legit combat sports experience and a last name nobody will ever forget. Mayweather faces John Gotti III, the grandson of infamous gangster John Gotti, on June 11.
The fight is inside the FLA Live Arena in Florida and airs on the Zeus Network. 
Gotti turned pro in 2017. Winning five in a row to start his MMA career, Gotti lost his last fight in 2020 against Nick Alley. The 30-year-old has since competed in boxing bouts, winning two contests in the past eight months.
Calling this fight a “pinch-me moment,” Gotti has nothing but respect for Mayweather. However, he will not let his fandom get in the way of what he needs to do.

“I’ve been following him since I was eight years old,” Gotti said via Boxing Scene. “This was my idol. This was a guy I did school projects on. It was a guy I looked up to. The fact that I’m in a position to stand across the ring from Floyd is a tremendous honor. But make no mistake, June 11, I’m bringing bad intentions to that man. I don’t care if it’s an exhibition or not. You signed to fight me, there’s no quarter. It’s kill or be killed.”
This is the latest exhibition for Mayweather, who retired in 2017 at 50-0. In 2018 he teamed with RIZIN and beat young kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa via TKO. Mayweather fought Logan Paul and former training partner Don Moore in non-scored bouts. He beat Mikuru Asakura and YouTuber Deji in 2022 via TKO. In February, Mayweather went the distance against MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers.
Here is all you need to know regarding Mayweather vs. Gotti, from the time, channel, and card.
Mayweather vs. Gotti begins at 6:30 p.m ET | 3:30 p.m. PT. Ringwalks are scheduled for 10 p.m. ET | 7 p.m. PT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.

Tyler Durden & Angel Face Got Together After Fight Club's Ending (Really) – Screen Rant

Published

on





Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club 2 comic brings back the character played by Jared Leto in the movie for an unexpected, but critical role.
Angel Face, played by Jared Leto in the Fight Club film adaptation, makes a surprise return in Chuck Palahniuk's comic book sequel to his original Fight Club novel – coming back with both revenge, and, oddly enough, love on his mind, following the vicious beating he received from the Narrator a decade earlier.
Fight Club 2 – by Chuck Palahniuk, Cameron Stewart, Dave Stewart, and Nate Piekos of Blambot – features the son of the Narrator and Marla Singer being kidnapped, with a returning Tyler Durden being the prime suspect, compelling the Narrator to reintegrate himself into Fight Club. In the closing pages of the series' fourth issue, the permanently-scarred Angel Face reappears.

In a brutal display that directly mirrors the original, Angel Face administers a brutal beating to the Narrator. He ends up knocking the Narrator into unconsciousness, which triggers Tyler Durden to awaken in his place at the start of Issue #5. Angel Face knows what's happened immediately, and subsequently is horrified as Tyler mercilessly returns the meeting. It is not until a few issues later, in Fight Club 2 #9, that it is revealed Tyler has been having an affair with Angel Face for quite some time. The Narrator discovers this only when he's awake, rather than Tyler, at a moment Angel Face kisses him.
As the Narrator's therapist says, on the same page as the reveal, ""a sociopath will sleep with anyone to gain her allegiance … or his." The re-emergence of Angel Face gives readers a glimpse of exactly how being a Fight Club member for so many years has worn on Angel Face's body. Aside from the distorted face the Narrator gave him ten years prior, he is littered with scabs, scars, and bruises from decades of sparring. It's clear that Angel Face has clung on completely to the ideas that Tyler put in his head years prior, whether it is because he's a true devotee, or he has nothing else.
Angel Face is depicted as not only unflinchingly loyal to Tyler Durden's ideals, but to the man himself. It remains ambiguous in the text whether Tyler returns Angel Face's feelings, or the extent to which he can feel at all. Angel Face is in love with Tyler – for Tyler, a physical relationship may just be a way to retain Angel Face's loyalty, to continue holding power over him. In this way, it is reminiscent of how the Narrator describes Tyler's relationship with Marla in the opening pages of the original book. "This is about property as in ownership. Without Marla, Tyler would have nothing."
Tyler's connection to Angel Face may not run as deep as with Marla in Fight Club, but Angel Face is still a useful vessel for him, one that someone as possessive as Tyler isn't willing to give up so easily. On the chance that Angel Face may have harbored these feelings in the original Fight Club, it also re-contextualizes their previous dynamic. It certainly offers a new explanation as to why Angel Face stays a follower of Project Mayhem/Fight Club for a decade after the Narrator beat him up. Most certainly, it further complicates Fight Club's iconic twisted love triangle of Marla, Tyler, and the Narrator.
