Worth knowing

ESPN+ hosts all Top Rank Boxing events but still charges PPV for the biggest cards — budget accordingly.
DAZN has exclusive deals with Matchroom Boxing, meaning Anthony Joshua and other major UK fighters often fight behind the DAZN paywall globally.
ESPN+ is only available in the US; DAZN operates in 200+ countries, making it the default choice for international fight fans.
The Disney Bundle makes ESPN+ absurdly cheap for what you get — it's one of the best-value streaming deals in sports.
DAZN often includes major title fights in the subscription price that would cost $60-80 as PPV elsewhere.

DAZN was once nicknamed 'the Netflix of sports' — which is a great pitch until you realize Netflix doesn't make you watch someone get knocked out at 2am.
