Two fights and two different access modes. This Thursday, March 7, DAZN will first broadcast the PFL (Professional Fighters League) evening organized at the Accor Arena, with the highly anticipated duel between Baysangur “Baki” Chamsoudinov and Cédric Doumbè (around 11 p.m.), both undefeated .
The evening will not be broadcast on the DAZN 1 channel (taken over by distributors such as Canal+) but only accessible to subscribers to the platform (14.99 euros per month). On the other hand, it will not require additional payment (Pay-Per-View: PPV), as was the case during the broadcast of the Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou fight on October 29. According to our information, the latter would have generated 80,000 single purchases (14.99 euros) in France alone. A real success even though PPV has never really managed to establish itself in France as a mode of consumption.
DAZN is therefore repeating the operation this Friday March 8 for the broadcast of the boxing fight between former MMA champion Francis Ngannou and the British Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. The French viewer will have to subscribe to the platform and also pay 19.99 euros, or 5 euros more expensive than during Ngannou’s last fight, for the boxing evening which will begin at 4:20 p.m. French time (main fight around 00 h 10).
