C’mon Matchroom/DAZN! Get me Benn vs Broner!! I’d pay PPV to see that foo Broner get smashed once and for all!!!!
DAZN is the best deal in boxing subscriptions. While others try to pass off cards like Ortiz-Martin as a pay-Per-View, DAZN was giving Joshua-Ruiz and Joshua-Usyk as regular fights, no extra cost.
Not in the UK they weren’t…they were putting Joshua and Canelo on rival platforms (SKY) for PPV fees
Ugh….. No heavyweight fights.
I feel the same. Glad I didn’t renew. I can’t stand all their personnel too.
Go Boxing, go !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad I renewed my yearly subscription. $90 buck the whole year, not bad.
ok here we go again WBC stop with the damn franchise title just to make another title vacant greed greed greed
WBO Inter-Continental another good one.
Kiko upset capable
Super Kiko Martinez has a good pay day defending his world title in England against Warrington. Good revenge as well !! Go Kiko go !!
I would think Sor would be the main event over Jesse Vargas. This guy doesn’t get nearly enough respect. He’s a top 15 P4P fighter at the very least.
DAZN put on great work these day’s !! Keep i up guy’s !!
Anyone know why Australia and New Zealand are excluded from so many of these cards???
