PBC Signs With DAZN as Spence–Tszyu Opens New Streaming Pact

The deal gives DAZN a major American promoter and creates a split distribution model that keeps Prime Video as PBC's pay‑per‑view home.

Overview

  • DAZN and Premier Boxing Champions announced a global agreement on Thursday, July 9 that took effect immediately and set Errol Spence Jr. vs Tim Tszyu as the first card under the pact.
  • The Spence–Tszyu fight is scheduled for July 25 in the U.S. (July 26 in Australia) and will serve as the partnership's inaugural live test of DAZN's expanded boxing slate.
  • Rolando Romero vs Teofimo Lopez is booked for August 22 and has been listed to stream on both DAZN and Amazon Prime Video, reflecting the deal's mixed streaming and pay‑per‑view approach.
  • PBC pay‑per‑view events will continue to be sold through Prime Video, and the agreement is reported to run through the end of 2026 with extension talks to be revisited later in the year.
  • DAZN gains access to PBC's roster of top fighters as part of a broader rights consolidation strategy, a move that could broaden fan reach but also increase platform complexity for viewers deciding where to buy or stream specific cards.
