Hearn confirms DAZN will introduce paid streaming

Eddie Hearn has confirmed that the DAZN platform will start showing some of the boxing events on pay-streaming in the coming months. According to the British promoter, among other things, there may be an additional fee, for example, for the broadcast of Alexander Usyk's rematch with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury's fight with Dillian White.

“If fans want to watch the biggest fights, we have to accept that Pay-Per-View will never die. Of course, it's not about the monthly PPV organization. It is a system that allows you to fund the biggest events. And you can't dictate too high prices, because that limits availability, ”said the head of Matchroom Boxing.

In December last year, DAZN officially began operations in almost all global markets. The platform also has a presence in the UK for several months, where according to unofficial information, it could buy out BT Sport and get all the TV rights.
