See I am different, I will pay for things only if it is worth it, that's not being cheap its being logical and normal.
If I see a pair of Levi's jeans that I like, but think there over priced, would it be logical for me to steal them?
Boxing is a working class man's sport. Clearly judging by the forummers on here that extends to its posters too. Either pay for it or don't. Stop ****ing whinging. If you can't afford 15 quid then you're a massive waste of space.
What. I would like to know is was Eddie talking complete bollocks when he said on numerous occasion that the entire Matchroom stable was ringing him up for a slot on this card?
The majority of the time, like with Primetime, I do take a stand. In this case, my mates coming over. I recognise the card is shite, especially without Bute vs Pascal attached. I know I'm paying £15 for the main event but I recognise the product is a con job. A full main card hasn't even been announced with 11 days to go. Madness, I agree.
Does no one remember the first fight was scrappy as anything and pretty one sided to Kessler? When they played it again on Sky I noticed that it just wasn't all that, nowhere near as good as I remembered it anyway. Won't be paying.
When theirs been a legal option to watch the fight, I have watched it legally or at a friends/in a bar.
You've changed your tune. Usually when someone asks about Boxnation or primetime its.. "Faster Internet connection and HDMI cable".
Froch vs Kessler II is worth the price alone. In the US they have to pay $60-70 most months for PPV's. If you begrudge paying £15 for a potential FOTY which also happens to be a 50/50 fight between two exciting fighters who's styles gel perfectly, you're either poor or you're not a boxing fan.
Yes, at the time I thought it was true but now, I don't think anyone actually gives a ****..like Eddie as well :-(
Streaming only exists because broadcasters aren't willing to come to a middle ground agreement with the potential customers. If they sold premium digital TV at a fair and respectable price, I have no doubt in my mind more people would pay for thing rather than "illegally" stream. Because its like that and all them, at the moment it is a monopoly, I'm hoping BT can change that. I can fully understand why people stream virtually everything. People are more than happy about watching **** quality, as long as they get to see the thing they want to see. But I still stand by that if they come to a fair price and agreement, instead of the one sided and extortionate prices today, more people would pay up. As it stands, people will always find another way. Unfortunately, that is the way it is, until they want to talk. Sometimes in the UK, the only way you can watch something is on a stream or foreign TV. As UK television doesn't show absolutely everything, no matter how much you pay. For instance 3pm kick-offs. Foreign channels acquire the rights, meaning UK viewers dont get to see any of it. It isn't actually illegal to chose to watch foreign TV. It becomes illegal when you try to supply that for a price. Most streamers however, find a way of getting ads on the sites. That is the issue and eventually they will be the cause of their own downfall. A famous case was closed in court not long ago between a land lady and sly. Pubs have to pay through the roof for Sly and she was using and paying for a subscription on a foreign box and a cheaper alternative. It was not illegal. They tried to sue her and she won the case. I don't condone streams, or making money through them, but I do understand them and why they exist, and I also understand why people wouldn't want links being posted on populated places on the net. Such as this forum. :good
What a load of bollocks, £15 for one fight? what if they get cut in the first round and the fights stopped? With a decent undercard you will still get the moneys worth. As for not being a boxing fan? Why because I don't want to pay for a **** overall PPV? Get real, I wonder if people like you are boxing fans for helping PPV back into the fold? Eddie brings back PPV in a triple dip recession, caters for **** head football/casual fans instead of the hardcore element and can't be bothered with the undercard. That's some #newagepromoting **** going on right there.
