DAZN works for people like you and me. Cats that are watching every weekend. Prime could be a huge plus in reaching the casuals.
I can't see how the US subscribers are still high after that ridiculous price hike. I subscribed at launch for the $10 per month joint but if they still retained folks when they went to over $200 per year god bless em, I was done with them.

It's a 2 purpose subscription, the real reason everyone has amazon prime is because they shop on amazon and want the fast shipping, most people use amazon prime video just as an added bonus. Even my grandparents have amazon prime.

Watching thursday night football, exclusively streamed on amazon prime, and turning around and capping the night off with boxing without needing to pick up your remote, that's great exposure. Maintaining flexibility for PPV on weekends will be key as well

bruh I'm referring to DAZN, not Amazon Prime. I have Amazon Prime, with all the shyt it offers it's worth the price for me and if PBC went there cool, DAZN can't justify their price to me because Golden Boy/Matchroom cards and no other content or services is worth $220+ a year.

Oh, agreed 100% if that's what you were talking about, we're arguing the same thing there

DAZN to me is like what track has, just an annoying paywall to gatekeep the sport. They need to expand to other sports as well if they want to be a legit service, IMO.

completely agree with Prime reaching the casuals..it will just be funny to me when ppl disaparage DAZN among other things its because its an app..i would expect them to keep the same energy for prime lol

that explains why there was no rollout announced for showtime....DAZN is the only service that actually did rollout something for the final quarter

at least this run will end with a good card featuring the Benavidez/Andrade main event.

unlike HBO's final card in Dec. 2018 :scust:

hate seeing so much disfunction in Boxing...hope there's some kind of revolution behind the scenes eventually but not optimistic.
