Rafael rings the bell: Unveiling the PPV price tag

Dan Rafael, a renowned boxing journalist, recently took to Facebook, revealing the PPV pricing for this highly anticipated match. “The #HaneyPrograis PPV price is $59.99 but that’s for DAZN subscribers. If you buy the PPV as a one-off on a non-DAZN platform it’s $74.99,” he posted, directing fans to the DAZN subscription link.

Immediately, this announcement spurred varied reactions from fans, each voicing their stance on the matter. One fan expressed his disbelief, stating, “A credible fight by all means but this fight should not be a PPV event 🥊.”

Echoing a similar sentiment but with a twist, another fan proposed a different approach: “This clearly isn’t PPV. However, why not vary PPV pricing based on matchup. This isn’t worth $75 but maybe $20 though.” Meanwhile, one fan took a more nostalgic route, commenting, “I’ll listen to it on the radio.”

Another person chimed in with a pragmatic view: “DAZN is worth it. This fight is not, to me anyway.” His opinion underscores the notion that while subscription services like DAZN offer value, not every fight justifies a PPV tag. Lastly, one person decided on a more reserved approach, sharing, “Thanks for the info. I’ll just watch the highlights afterwards. These guys should be on free TV. Not every fight is PPV worthy.”

These reactions collectively paint a picture of a fanbase grappling with the evolving landscape of boxing viewership, where the cost of watching a fight is as much a topic of discussion as the fight itself. Haney seems ready for this fight and recently he sent a warning to Regis Prograis!

Devin Haney warns Regis!

Devin Haney’s confidence surges as he predicts an unusual outcome for his upcoming fight against Regis Prograis – turning him into a meme. In a recent interview, Haney, labeled as a superstar in boxing, mockingly referred to Prograis as a “one-trick pony”, hinting at a potential meme-worthy moment post-fight. When probed about a specific knockout meme, Haney teasingly responded, “he’s going to be a laughing stock when I’m done with him.”

This confident assertion reflects Haney’s readiness to not only overpower Prograis physically but also dominate the pre-fight verbal sparring. Adding a twist, Haney even suggests that Prograis’ coach might share the meme spotlight, intensifying the anticipation for this high-stakes match.
