Woke up this morning buzzing about the Ryan Garcia fight tonight. Grabbed my coffee and started digging for the PPV price because my crew kept asking. First thing I did was check Garcia’s official account on social media – nothing helpful there, just hype videos and countdown posts. Figured it’d be simple, but nah.
The Click Parade Begins
Hopped over to streaming sites next. Saw five different prices pop up immediately. Fubo listed it at $74.99, DAZN asked for $59.99, but their damn app said “region restricted” when I tried to sign up. ESPN+ showed a banner for $64.99 with their bundle, but buried in the fine print – need a yearly subscription first. Total headache.
The Cable Conundrum
Decided to call my cable provider since they usually handle PPV. Waited 22 minutes on hold listening to awful elevator music. Finally got some guy who sounded half asleep. He quoted $79.99 plus a $10 “processing fee” – processing what? My annoyance? Hung up and smashed my coffee mug cleaning up the mess afterwards.
Reddit Rescue Mission
Scrolled through boxing subreddits as a last resort. Found a thread from two hours ago where people confirmed:
- DAZN US base price: $59.99
- Includes all undercard fights
- HD streams locked behind premium tiers
- Works on two devices max
Dude in the comments warned about “hidden platform fees” at checkout. Saved me from that trap.
Final Damage Report
Went back to DAZN, bit the bullet. Total came to $63.48 after tax. Setup took forever – password reset, two-factor auth, payment decline because my bank thought it was fraud. Fixed it after calling the bank. Now watching the pre-fight buildup replay and texting buddies: “Bring pizza, $64 splits cheaper than bar tabs.” Moral of this circus? Never trust boxing promotions to make pricing easy.
