BOXING fans are outraged after the PPV price for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn was announced.
The Brits are set to face off at the O2 Arena on October 8.
And fans watching at home can tune in for a price of £19.99 on DAZN UK.
That has sparked backlash with DAZN coming under fire for charging extra as fans already pay a subscription fee to access their platform.
One boxing fan said: "So Canelo [Alvarez] who is probably the biggest boxing name has his PPV priced at £10?but Benn v Eubank is £20?."
Another added in agreement: "What do I pay my subscription for? To watch some cr***y sports documentaries??

"Because I ain’t seen any decent boxing on there. Canelo v GGG had to pay on top, AJ v Usyk had to pay on top. Now this!! I’m out cancelling the subscription!
And a third said: "Overpriced with a terrible undercard, just cancelled my DAZN subscription as it’s a complete waist of money."
Others have pointed out the fact Eubank v Benn is not a title and fight and could be a mismatch given the usual weight difference between the two fighters.
Benn usually fights at 147lbs in the past and has gained 10lbs for this bout, while Eubank has shed 3lbs off his standard fighting weight.

His father Chris Eubank Sr expressed concern for his son given his weight loss and rules about rehydration.
Eubank Sr said: “This fight should not be allowed to happen, it is dangerous.
“I have given my advice and I will continue giving it because I know how dangerous weight cutting is.
"This is modern day 'gladiating', this is not a play thing for the audience.
"We have to be strict otherwise lives are put in danger and my son's life cannot be put in danger. I've already lost one. It can't happen again."
Eubank Jr has not shown the same worry and instead trolled Benn with his eating habits this week, devouring dessert and a piece of birthday cake when he should be losing weight.
Benn has also ridiculed his opponent, accusing Eubank Jr of having daddy issues.
