The deal is set to run through the end of 2026 and discussions around an extension will be revisited later in the year, a source with direct knowledge of the partnership told The Ring<\/a>. In the meantime, the development is a significant one for both parties.<\/p>\n

For PBC, it widens its reach by activating engaged fans across an existing avenue and streaming service while also adding additional revenue streams to complement its existing deal with Amazon\u2019s OTT offering, Prime Video, which will continue to present PBC PPV events a la carte.<\/p>\n

For DAZN, it adds additional fight nights and PPV programming to its Ultimate plan, which costs $49.99 monthly in the United States. Ultimate plan subscribers have access to PPVs for no additional charge, while a standard monthly subscription without PPV events costs $24.99.<\/p>\n

The first PPV event that PBC will present as part of its official new deal with DAZN arrives later this month when Errol Spence and Tim Tszyu square off on July 26 in Australia (July 25 in the US). A second show will follow on August 22 when Rolando Romero defends his WBA welterweight title against Teofimo Lopez in Las Vegas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

TGB Promotions boss Tom Brown, the primary promoter of PBC events, and other principals teased some of the other fights that should soon hit the calendar across September 19 and October 17. <\/p>\n

Among them were WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora facing mandatory challenger Ermal Hadribeaj, WBA featherweight titleholder Brandon Figueroa taking on Tomoki Kameda, WBC interim middleweight champion Jesus Ramos facing mandatory Meiirim Nursultanov, and IBF bantamweight champion Jose Reyes taking on his mandatory Michael Angeletti. Formal dates and locations were not announced for the matchups.<\/p>\n

\u201cPBC\u2019s agreement with DAZN is a landmark moment for boxing, particularly in the U.S., where the sport has such a passionate and deeply engaged fanbase,\u201d Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership brings one of America\u2019s most influential boxing brands onto DAZN and strengthens our position as the premier destination for the biggest fighters, promoters and events in the sport. As the global home of boxing, DAZN is committed to expanding access, elevating the fan experience and delivering the fights that matter most to audiences in the U.S. and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

PBC initially tested the DAZN waters in May when it partnered with Golden Boy to present a PPV on DAZN and Prime Video event headlined by David Benavidez’s sixth-round stoppage win against Gilberto Ramirez.<\/p>\n

PBC has been tied to Prime Video ever since Showtime Sports ceased operations at the end of 2023. But PBC has primarily staged PPV events via Prime Video, with its non-PPV event offerings for Prime Video subscribers being few and far between.<\/p>\n

\u201cPBC is thrilled to align with DAZN to showcase world-class boxers and events on the global home of boxing,\u201d Tim Smith, a PBC spokesperson, said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last decade, PBC has led the sport in major events featuring the biggest pay-per-view stars and the top champions across all weight divisions. This move represents a fantastic opportunity for the sport of boxing, and most importantly, the boxers.\u201d<\/p>\n

DAZN\u2019s deal with PBC is the latest in a mountain of moves brokered by the streaming service. <\/p>\n

From February onward, DAZN signed a new five-year deal with Matchroom Boxing, gave free agent Top Rank a broadcast home with a multi-year deal, and reupped longtime partner Golden Boy after its previous deal with Oscar De La Hoya’s promotional company had expired. <\/p>\n

DAZN has also brought Boxxer to its lineup and expanded its reach in the United States by distributing shows once a month on cable via TNT with a new show billed as “The Fight,”<\/a> which debuted earlier this month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

DAZN also presents live boxing events from The Ring, Queensberry, Eye of the Tiger, Salita Promotions, Misfits, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, and others.<\/p>\n
