Boxing Fans, Rejoice! DAZN Just Made Watching Your Favorite Sport Way More Affordable
For years, boxing enthusiasts have faced a costly dilemma: how to follow the sport they love without breaking the bank. DAZN, the go-to platform for major boxing events in North America, has long been a staple for fans, but its subscription and pay-per-view model often left wallets feeling lighter. But here's where it gets exciting: DAZN has just unveiled the DAZN Ultimate Plan, a game-changer for die-hard fans. Announced on Friday, this new bundle aims to slash costs while delivering more value than ever before.
What’s in the Ultimate Plan? For $44.99 per month in the U.S., subscribers get access to every Fight Night event streamed on the platform, plus all pay-per-view fight cards. That’s right—no more shelling out up to $59.99 for individual PPV events on top of the $19.99 base subscription. And this is the part most people miss: Before this plan, hardcore fans could easily spend up to $79.98 monthly (before taxes) to catch everything. Now, the Ultimate Plan offers a significant discount, making it a no-brainer for those who live and breathe boxing.
But here’s where it gets controversial: While $44.99 is a steal compared to the old model, some fans might still balk at the price tag. Is it truly affordable, or just a better deal than before? DAZN’s move comes less than a year after Turki Alalshikh vowed to lower PPV prices across the board, citing the rise of illegal streaming as a driving force. Does this new plan do enough to combat piracy, or is it still pricing out casual viewers? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
What’s Included? DAZN holds the streaming rights to major promotions like Matchroom Boxing, Queensberry Promotions, and Golden Boy Promotions, as well as most of Most Valuable Promotions’ events and Misfits Boxing. Notably absent are Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), Zuffa Boxing, and Top Rank Boxing, which have deals with Amazon Prime, Paramount+, and their own channels, respectively. But here’s the kicker: The Ultimate Plan kicks off with a bang, starting with Vergil Ortiz Jr. defending his WBC interim super lightweight title against Erickson Lubin. Early adopters also get access to Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn 2 on November 15—two PPV events that would cost over $100 separately. That’s a 50% discount right out of the gate.
Is It Worth It? For fans who were already buying every major event, the Ultimate Plan is a no-brainer. But for casual viewers, the monthly cost might still feel steep. Here’s a thought-provoking question: Is DAZN’s new model the future of sports streaming, or does it still fall short of making boxing truly accessible to all? Let us know what you think!
Available Now The DAZN Ultimate Plan is available immediately, with access starting as early as November. Whether you’re a seasoned boxing aficionado or a newcomer to the sport, this bundle promises to deliver more fights for less money. But will it be enough to keep fans in the ring? Only time will tell.
