    LOLZ

    HBO > Epix

    Showtime > Epix

    ESPN > Epix

    NBC Sports > Epix

    Get over it. Your boys fight is not getting exposure in the U.S. Epix and a channel on DISH does not mean a ****ing thing.

    Epix exists on a channel on Dish, big deal. Epix doesn't reach nearly as many people as the 4 network I just mentioned.

    :hi:

    supposedly a few markets get the actual epix channel....and i somehow caught vitali vs chisora last week on my MSG HD channel...it was basically an epix show being rebroadcast on MSG (who prob owns them)
    but yea, i tried for an hour to stream the epix channel one time before a fight...im prety good on computers and it was maddening

    I know what you are saying, but these whack ass Klit ***gots are talking about how this Wlad fight is gonna be TELEVISED in the U.S. Sorry, not really. Televised is like, widespread. Epix is not reaching a massive audience like the other networks I mentioned do.

    I've heard that too? So if you have dish network, or direct TV, you get Epix channel for free (or as part of most basic subscription packages? i.e., it's not a premium subscription channel like HBO?)


    I too, have found the Epix stream to be a little difficult to deal with. . . I create free trial accounts, and the stream was laggy as ****. . .


    I just use other means to watch the fight.

    they love europeans they loved lewis v klitschko


    its Wlads safety style that has caused this


    they loved wlad when he was agressive



    they had floyd castillio 2 on Wlads undercard before

    how things change with boring style lol
