Re: Boxing Off-Topic

This is exactly whats wrong with boxing..I have always said from the start this is one big money grab..I guarantee they are banking on Garcias fans buying the fight..The undercard is atrocious ...This is one fight I would have showcased on national TV for the mainstream or had a lower pricepoint to introduce their PPV product..

I agree.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

When is the last boxing PPV that charged less than $70 for HD? I can't recall one.



I'll find a stream on Periscope or wait until there's a rip on YouTube Sunday morning or for the Showtime rebroadcast next weekend.



Enough is enough with these PPV cards that don't merit PPV, especially when I'm already spending money for cable, DAZN and ESPN+. Frankly, I hope some of these PPV cards flop financially so promoters and networks realize you can soak fans only so much.

I hear ya. I am also hating have to subscribe to different avenues just to watch a handful of fighters. ESPN + is worth it with the other things for me at $5. I am still deciding on dazn.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

dazn looks like it has included NFL sunday ticket? ... there is a lot there, but what would seal the deal for me would be NBA. If they had some form of league pass + boxing, I'd buy it 100%. I may get it anyway for the fights, but I'm just saying that would be a no-brainer for me.

you can see, NFL redzone and Gamepass (assuming it's games?) and they also have MLB network content...

This is for Canada but quote: "DAZN is the only way to get unlimited access to every live NFL game this coming season with NFL Game Pass, NFL RedZone and NFL Sunday Ticket."

now I don't know if that means it simply gives you access and you still have to pay on top of your DAZN to get the Sunday ticket? I'm guessing probably since the dazn on it's own is technically cheaper if I'm not mistaken. Baseball right now is spring training, so who knows how many games (if any) during regular season it's hard to tell... and I haven't really looked into it. For me combat sports, basketball and nice events like ski jumping, track and field, international soccer, indoor/beach volleyball etc. would be most of my sports watching these days. I can't watch an entire baseball broadcast anymore, nor NFL for the most part. basketball is quicker in terms of pace and the overall broadcast is usually 2.5 hours. Hockey I produced for years so I don't really watch much anymore as it seems like work.

Looks like it will be $20 a month. Definitely worth it if they include all of that.

Think that's only in Canada, mate. DAZN has different rights packages for different countries.

DAZN carries MotoGP, the NFL and major domestic soccer in some European countries, but not in the USA.

I agree. I think DAZN is one package away for being a must-buy for me. I'm actually very tempted to get it soon anyway - at $150/year it's basically $10/month CDN.
There's some decent boxing on there and there are Bellator matches that interest me.
If they added a bigger MLB package, I'd pull the trigger.
I also wonder if they'll ever be able to snag an NHL game of the week down the road.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Garcia is not a huge underdog in this fight. Based on the odds he's got roughly a 25% chance of winning.

Hey man did you see the weigh in?..Garcia looked great for his weight gain Spence looked almost too skinny to me..like he overtrained..maybe he will rehydrate significantly..

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I want to see the fight, just a steep PPV though!!! man! trying to decide to pull trigger or not! ...dammit!

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

eff it, I got it haha. Benevitez is a freakin' beast!

main event about to pop off - I have said several times that I think it will be years before spence loses, I think he's the best in the division and certainly among the best in boxing - I think the first time I said he'd be champ and remain so for like 5 years was 3 years ago.

Having said all of that. Garcia is brave and a warrior. I respect him so much for doing this and love that we're going to see a top class fight, but also that for welterweight we have like 6 AWESOME potential fights and we'll probably get 3 at least...so fun times for teh division.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Spence was great. Boxed beautifully. Mixed up his attack and showed great defense. Props to Garcia for taking the fight when a lot of boxers have been ducking Spence. Benevitez was great. First time seeing him. Looking forward to seeing him in the future.

only thing negative I noticed about Spence is that he looked awkward and timid for the first 4 rounds. As competition continues to get better I wonder if he can get over it mentally and trust his skills or if he'll have issues that way. I'd love to see him and Benavidez go, forget pacquiao, that fight would be crazy - I was so impressed with B, his defense to offense was insane and even though he is tall and long he had a super crisp and very short left hook on the inside that has KO power.

Him, Spence and the other alphabet champs all mixing it up over the next 2 years should provide some really great matcups.

I agree, overall though that spence was impressive, but it led to a real dud of a fight, I was actually really disapponted in Garcia but I can't blame him. 2 weight classes was tough and a guy like Spence on top of that - he just didnt do much so it really wasn't worth the $$.
