DAZN faces criticism for lack of boxing events amid subscription fees
Summary

DAZN is under scrutiny for failing to deliver high-quality boxing events despite holding a majority of top promoters and fighters. A recent analysis highlighted the disappointing undercard for the Teofimo Lopez vs. Rolly Romero pay-per-view event, drawing criticism for the value offered to fans. Reports mention only two Top Rank promotions on DAZN since a recently formed deal, and boxing fans question the accessibility of major fights. The platform's Ultimate subscription, necessary for premium content, faces backlash as it relegates key matchups to pay-per-view pricing, prompting calls for better programming and fight offerings.
