DAZN don't have the streaming market to themselves. Espn also recently launched a streaming service which also includes boxing coverage. Both services cost $15 in total giving boxing fans more action than ever before, cheaper than ever before without the need of a contract or TV subscription.

Agreed, Chad. It's a one-way dead end street for the conventional linear channels. Just a few more years and it will become obvious.
