    From Premier Sports on Facebook:
    "We have lost the signal to the live Daniel Geale event from Australia due to the promoter being unhappy that illegal streams were being made available on the back of this. We will attempt to bring in the event on delay and show in full next week."

    international feed was pulled full stop. Only 60 people were viewing the stream and they wouldnt stop it over 60 people. It was stopped because of the AUS promoters, not Gary Shaw lol

    Wonder if they decided to pulled it during the show or if they planned to only air the undercard all along?

    imho it was a bussiness tactic used by Grange to ensure that big money comes in for the next show they put on, in way of international PPV sales. They dont cut an international feed over 60 people. Not just that but if your making a tone of money on ticket sales and PPV views, you dont really give a rats ass about streams, Mundine hasnt.

    I really feel its a sales ploy to ensure the next show is purchased in full by international viewers. It may have been a promotion in where they got to see the undercard but not the main event fights. Either way as explained, they do not cut a international feed over 60 people.

    As if people would be lining up to buy their next PPV because they cut this one! :patsch

    How many pissed off people do you think there are sitting there with their dicks in their hands after buying the PPV and it being cut before the main event?

    How many pubs full of people doing the same?

    Dangerous game to play.

    I Can tell you that the UK channel on facebook is full of it. You need hundreds of people to get a feed cut, not 60 lol . Can you picture it.. the promoter phones the production people at Main Event and tells them to cut the international Feed because 60 people are viewing an illegal stream? sounds fishy to me lol


    Someone closer to the promoters knows more than i do about why it was really cut, i am assuming that premier sports never even had the purchase rights to show the main event fights and it was just a promotion so they get on board for the next show. Your all asking the WTF is up so its generated intrest, you can bet they will purchase the show in full next time round and if 100-200 people watch a stream it wont get cut.. decisions like this made by the promoter are usually always money related.

    Premier sports has alot to answer to. If they advertised the show in full and didnt purchase it im not sure, what channel is primer sports? is it like a free PPV channel that comes with your Sat TV package? i really thnk it was just given to the UK channel as a promo deal with no main events included.
