Premier Boxing Champions Signs Landmark Deal with DAZN, Completing Major U.S. Boxing Consolidation
7/10/2026, 4:12:47 PM
Deal Overview
Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and TGB Promotions have entered a multi-year agreement with streaming platform DAZN that brings PBC’s marquee fight nights to the service worldwide. The partnership begins on July 25, 2024, with Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu in Australia, followed by Rolly Romero vs. Teofimo Lopez on August 22, 2024, in Las Vegas. Non-pay-per-view (non-PPV) PBC events are scheduled for September 19 and October 17 2024. The deal runs through the end of 2026, with extension talks slated for later in the year.
Historical Fragmentation
Before the agreement, every major U.S. promoter except PBC operated on DAZN. PBC’s previous broadcast homes included Showtime, Fox, and, most recently, Amazon’s Prime Video, where its PPV events have been sold a la carte since Showtime’s shutdown in 2023. The new contract eliminates the last major promotional silo, placing all traditional U.S. promoters—Matchroom, Golden Boy, Top Rank, Queensberry, Boxxer, Salita, MF Pro, and now PBC—under a single streaming umbrella.
Principal Stakeholders
- Shay Segev – DAZN Group CEO
- Tim Smith – PBC spokesperson
- Tom Brown – Head of TGB Promotions

Fighter Roster & Subscription Details
The agreement adds more than 30 named fighters to DAZN’s library, including world champions and rising contenders. DAZN’s “Ultimate” plan, priced at $49.99 per month in the United States, bundles PPV events at no extra charge, while the standard plan costs $24.99 monthly.
Implications for Boxing
Consolidation places virtually all top-tier U.S. boxing content on a single platform, potentially simplifying fan access and enabling cross-promotional matchups that were previously blocked by competing broadcast deals. At the same time, the concentration of rights raises questions about market risk and bargaining power for fighters and promoters.
Official Statements
DAZN’s Shay Segev described the pact as “a landmark moment for boxing, particularly in the U.S., where the sport has such a passionate and deeply engaged fanbase.” PBC’s Tim Smith called the move “a fantastic opportunity for the sport of boxing, and most importantly, the boxers.” Tom Brown emphasized that the partnership “provides unbelievable opportunities for all of our fighters” and “the fans win big here.” Britton Hardin noted that “everyone is walking in the same direction” as the sport’s new home.
Industry Concerns
Analysts note that while the unified platform may enhance fan experience, it also concentrates distribution risk. Should DAZN’s subscriber base falter, the entire ecosystem of major U.S. promoters could be affected, a point highlighted in industry commentary.
