World Boxing News editor-in-chief Phil Jay argues that DAZN's boxing coverage requires an overhaul after fans heavily criticized lengthy studio delays during the Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli event. Viewers and journalists lamented extensive studio discussions between bouts, comparing the pay-per-view broadcast to an extended podcast.

Jay argues that DAZN must reduce unnecessary talking segments, speed up turnaround times between bouts, and prioritize the paying audience over prolonged studio analysis.
