Many viewers and boxing fans have attacked and ridiculed the newly announced pay TV viewing fee for the Anthony Joshua – Francis Ngannou heavyweight fight.
The highlight event and match of world boxing in March is the party called “Knock-out Chaos” and the “heavyweight” fight between the boxer who twice unified the world championship belt, Anthony Joshua. and former UFC king Francis Ngannou.
This event will take place on March 8 at the “new cathedral of world boxing”, capital Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And yesterday the pay TV fee (PPV; pay-per-view) to watch the “Knock-out Chaos” event with the main-event match between Joshua – Ngannou was also announced.
Pay TV fees for the Joshua – Ngannou match as well as the “Knock-out Chaos” event have been announced.
Specifically, audiences in the US market will have to pay up to $69.99 (more than 1.7 million VND) to watch the entire famous boxing event mentioned above via DAZN’s broadcasting infrastructure.
The above number is slightly lower than Ngannou’s debut in professional boxing at the end of October last year. At that time, American audiences had to pay $79.99 to witness Ngannou fight 10 rounds with Tyson Fury in an event called “Battle of Baddest”.
However, if you know that the pay TV fee for the classic heavyweight title unification match between Tyson Fury – Usyk according to the old schedule on February 17 (postponed) was once set at $69.99 in Vietnam. In the US market, it is clear that the 10-round match between Joshua – Ngannou is “really expensive”.
That’s the case for the US market, but audiences in the UK who want to cheer for Anthony Joshua will have to pay 19.99 pounds (about 620 thousand VND) if they have a new account registered on DAZN’s platform. As for old DAZN accounts, you will have to pay £18.99.
The Fury – Ngannou match at the end of October last year also had a very expensive pay TV fee.
After the fees were announced, many viewers and boxing fans attacked and ridiculed on social networking platforms such as Facebook, X (old Twitter), Instagram…
“It’s funny because the old DAZN account saved… 1 pound compared to the newly registered account when watching the Joshua – Ngannou match.” “There’s no way I would pay that much for a pre-arranged entertainment event.” “Everything now comes down to PPV at exorbitant prices.” “They are strangling subscribers to collect fees”…
It is unclear whether the “heavyweight” Joshua – Ngannou fight will create a PPV fever that brings in huge revenue, but the Fury – Ngannou match at the end of October last year was “exposed” in PPV sales, which was said to be “exposed”. very pathetic”.
At that time, many sources revealed that the Fury – Ngannou match “only sold less than 70,000 live views” in the US market, far less than the match of YouTuber Jake Paul.
