Here we go again, people moaning and groaning about the primetime balls up. I should imagine you will get your money back and they will simply put it down to experience. They have broken there duck with this promotion and i think they will go on to better things and hopefully forfil the void left by setanta. However is these moaning basards persevere with all the bile that is being vented towards primetime, i can see the channel just giving up and then we will be back to square 1. People used to moan about setanta and look what happened through them trying to appease everyone, the old addage 'you dont know what you've got till its gone' comes to mind...
They've let sky viewers have fight for free, and i should imagine theyre finding out what the streams were like and seeing if it was just certain areas which were down to servers or if the whole lot was screwed. Have in mind they still have bills to pay so i can see them keeping what they think is fair to keep. I reckon we should give them one more chance and this time it will be more polished. If not send them to slaughter, or after saturday night Arthur Abraham...
If Primetime decide to drop this, who is going to show us the rest of the Super Six? I guarantee you will get the same whinging ****s starting more threads, saying this is **** and cussing tv stations for not showing it for free etc. If you want top boxing bills you need to pay for it like the yanks do etc....
I have no problem paying for it but expect a stream to work I actually gave up on Primetimes stream because of the constant buffering I ended up watching an illegal stream at better quality.
Stream was fine for me, missed most of Rd 11 of the Froch fight, that was it. Should've been perfect for the price mind you. Streaming is a technical minefield, they need to get it properly carried on Sky and Virgin. I don't begrudge paying especially on a more reliable TV platform. Anyone who doesn't want to pay, don't pay. Simple. I'd rather have the choice via Primetime than not have the choice at all.
Decy, I think this complaint is a genuine one, I would feel the same if I had paid for a stream and it let me down. I am glad we got it on tv. They held their hands up and said they would improve a few things for the next one, i.e. no need to have a telephone line installed, and make it available to Virgin customers etc. I hope they stick it out and dont throw the towel in after one show, we are definitely better served with more choice. ESPN have been a let down and I don't think it is good for boxing to only have Sky showing fights...
The more stations that show boxing the better for all of us I just feel Primetime tried to run before they could walk and that people will be very wary about paying them again.
Prime time are not letting sky customers have it for free. They are reshowing it tonight and tomorrow, as if watching it after knowing the result is the same. The money will come out, check with your card provider, mine has already been 'earmarked' to leave my account. Any company can have problems, its how they deal with the problem that counts. If they give me a refund fine, if not then they have taken the ****. At present the implication is they are taking the money
my biggest problem (apart from the 2 main fights being a bit ****) was no undercard fights in either country(well,1) has this been said before,or is there a reason for it:huh
apart from the loss of round 11. the stream was fine for my quality was very good. and it only cost me £2. me and a few friends all put £2 in each all signed into the same accounts and watched it in the comfort of out own houses. for a internet stream it looked very nice on my big screen
did'nt realise there was a problem, was it just with thestream cuz i had it on sky and the fight was perfect, the abraham fight skipped maybe twice but that was nothing, i was more than pleased with the service they provided
