DAZN counters with the return of Kingry. Lightweight star Ryan Garcia meets Emmanuel Tagoe from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Also, popular super middleweight “King” Gabriel Rosado faces Shane Mosley Jr. on the telecast.

ESPN leads with WBO/IBF female junior lightweight champion Mikaela Mayer against Jennifer Han at The Hangar at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California. Welterweight Giovani Santillan faces Jeovanis Barraza in the co-feature. There is also a strong undercard on ESPN+ with both Maloney brothers, Jason Moloney and Andrew Moloney, IBF #1 featherweight Luis Alberto “El Venado” Lopez, and Olympic silver medalist Duke Ragan.

The biggest fight of the day, however, takes place on DAZN in the early morning hours when Gennady Golovkin faces Ryota Murata in an IBF/WBA middleweight unification clash from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Hey die have you seen the price increase Form dazn? $15 pm
I will look at canceling. It's been disappointing recently

[diehard]

No, haven't seen it. 500% increase? What the hell. I've communicated with DAZN before. I'm sending, and you should too, an email complaining about the increase in price AND the fact that half of the fights are blacked out in NZ and OZ.

[diehard]

And yeah, I'll be cancelling, and telling them why.

[diehard]

Checked on the DAZN website and didn't see any price change, nor have been notified. Where did you see the increase? I want to watch the Canelo fight in a few weeks.

I was sent an email

The nerve...I never got one.  How can they do this in good conscience?  Maybe Hearn doesn't have a conscience.  I'm assuming it's effective immediately?
