froch v taylor is ppv

Exactly!

This is such a stupid idea. It's the complete opposite of what Froch needs at this stage of his career.

 

The bottleneck is getting it to your computer, not the computer itself.

 

:rofl Gutted Carl. You can't blame setanta for Carl/Micks greed. Charging a tenner for an internet stream shows that they wanted top $ from the tv networks. Sadly Carl isn't the star he thinks he is. I remember Calzaghe (Froch mentions him all the time so can I) saying that he took a pay cut to fight Jeff Lacy on ITV.
Even if Carl wins in really impressive style people will still be saying "who the froch is Froch?"

 

Do you anticipate any problems, Gaz?

 

Only that Hennesey hasn't done this type of thing before (to my knowledge), I'm sure he'll subcontract the technical side out to people who know what they're doing but theres still a bit of a question mark over whether it'll be "alright on the night" IMHO.

 

Think i'll watch a better quality showcase stream for free!

 

Well dissapointed with this. Still tempted to buy the fight but there is always uncertainty with online streams. I would rather Hennessey just stuck it on sky/setanta for a tenner!!!

As someone else said, if Carl wins this fight, ditch Mick Hennessey.

 

I just had a look at the PPV site.

There's an expression of interest section but no real depth to it. I wonder, just wonder, if it is a means to an end of creating the impression that the TV companies have missed the boat and better get a bid in quick or they'll miss out now they've got an alternative :deal

 

Appaling, but it does say on the website that this stream is "Plan B", so any glimmer of hope for Setanta or others snapping this up??

 

load of rubbish from big mick I would not be supprised to see this on tv once these comments are read or any kind of feedback is taken into account

 

As Kid says maybe its a bluff to try a get a bit more money out of Setanta.

 

Surely they can't make enough money out of this as they will on ANY TV channel, even if he puts his personal price down???

 

Henessey is really beginning to drop the ball big time. I can't believe he's been this stupid over something of this magnitude, it's going to cost him dearly in the long term. Also with John Murray and Junior Witter's careers in their respective stagnance, Mick's not looking too much of a hot shot promoter right now.

 

****ing joke! any ideas if itv will show it the next day?

 

im still anger about this, there was a really good undercard too, if it was on tv ppv i would consider the 10 pounds but not for a stream, you dont know what your getting
