Boxing fans, prepare for a controversial twist! Despite Turki Alalshikh's bold promise, the highly anticipated Benavidez vs. Yarde showdown is not coming to DAZN subscribers for free. But wait, there's a catch!
In a shocking turn of events, DAZN has listed the November 22nd event as a pay-per-view (PPV) for a hefty $59.99 in the US and £24.99 in the UK. This comes as a surprise to many, especially after Alalshikh's assurance earlier this year that all Riyadh Season and The Ring shows, starting with Benavidez vs. Yarde, would be freely accessible to DAZN subscribers.
And here's where it gets intriguing: DAZN is introducing a 'premium' subscription tier that includes all PPVs, supposedly offering great value. But is it a fair deal for fans? The timing of this new subscription tier has sparked debate, with some arguing it absolves Alalshikh of lying. But let's be honest, this move feels more like a strategic business decision than a sincere promise kept.
The question remains: Can we trust the words of oligarchs who prioritize their interests above all else? It's a reminder that power and promises don't always align. What do you think? Is this a fair move by DAZN, or are they taking advantage of fans' enthusiasm? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
