Dazn promised to eliminate Pay-Per-View when entering the boxing market in 2018.

We are in 2025, preparing for three PPV in one seven -day period, and the prices of all three increased compared to previous events.

This Friday, Ryan Garcia will face Romero on the Oscar de la Hoya card shared by Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez in separate duels. In the three -tent headliner there are Jose Ramirez and Arnold Barboza, who will oppose the past and current world champions.

On Saturday, beware of Canelo Alvarez fights with William Scull for the undisputed crown that he should never lose in the ring.

These two programs paid at the sight come a few days after the fans had to get out for Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn. In another extension of the PPV Dazn and Alalshikh PPV platforms, they set Eubank vs Benn for Paywall around the world.

Usually, in the case of events that satisfy mainly one audience, in this case Great Britain, only this specific territory must pay. This scenario does not seem like this anymore, because more events are offered at PPV around the world, not on a demographic basis.

Not only the venerable way of doing things gave way, but in a month more PPV and additional fees appear.

Dazn announced the “offer” of boxing fans for the upcoming concerts of Canelo vs. Scull and Garcia vs. Romero. The streaming service has published a statement with information that subscribers who are already paying a monthly fee can buy both as part of a double offer.

They said: “Watch both nights for only USD 90 [price varies by market]only for Dazna. Friday, May 2, three -time Ring magazine card at Times Square from 18:00 ET and the very anticipated debut of the Riyjad Saúl “Canelo” season of Alvarez in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 3, starting from 19:00 ET.

“First, both events will be available all over the world only at DAZN PPV at the Cinco de Mayo Weekend for only USD 90 [pricing varies by market]. Subscribers can buy events individually for $ 59.99. “

It seems that Dazn and Alalshikh believe that they do fans a favor by offering two PPV for 90 USD. If you then add the Eubank vs Benn fee, it is 115 USD in one week for three pay-per-views.

Who has such money to throw away a sport in which such fees usually come once every three to six months?

If this is a modern normal and the way Alalshikh wants to revolutionize boxing, it can soon expect an explosion. Fans will not accept this type of expected length in terms of paying difficult -earned money.

There must be some common sense and a common plane in the current broadcast plan, because not every event is or should be a Pay-Per-View (PPV) event.

The previous Alalshikha mission to reduce the PPV fee to USD 14.99 and USD 9.99 around the world, which was in the long run, did not last long. Only months have passed since fees of USD 59.99, near the most vital boxing price plan for boxing.

The chairman of General Entertainment Authority in the Middle East was beneficial to boxing because he gathered the best fighters who have no doubt.

His supplies facilitate to create a very needed noise in this sport. However, there are definitely too many promises, and the fans stayed to pick up the pieces.

If Dazn and Alalshikh do not find solutions to higher prices after all that has passed, maybe only the next sender will take up to realize the gap on the market to fully apply the encouragement of sport elsewhere.
