    Would you buy the Froch fight (plus card) stream if it was £5 rather than £10?

    I aint paying for it. OK, his last fight was a barnstormer but he doesnt just jump straight into PPV imo. Perhaps if they kept the stream site open for all of his next five fights or so including the undercards with a one off payment of 10-15 quid I'd be interested.

    I already pay for Setanta (although its worth it considering what you get) and SKY (rip off merchants) and PPV is just taking the **** out of fans, especially as the beneficiaries are mostly already bloody millionaires and this is a credit crunch etc etc

    The time for robbing the fans needs to come to an end or our already dying sport might come to a halt altogether :(

    £10 for a stream is awful. Fact is, we should be having it free on one of the channels!

    People on here wouldn't want to be arrested for breaking into a £5 note :-(

    I won't even stream it for free.

    Sitting on an uncomfy chair by my front door watching some pixelated jerky bollocks with tinny sound at 4am? **** that.

    Not that I have a problem with PPV on tv (except the Khan-Prescott card), providing it's a decent quality match up with decent undercard, etc. However, as Hook above me commented, I wouldn't even stream it for free.
    Unfortunately my computer's standards aren't as great as some and the quality/buffering gets on my nerves. So no, I wouldn't pay for it on internet stream.
    Put on PPV on tv with a good quality card, or a double bill of action from the UK & US whatever then yes, but online no, not for me.

    No, its mainly the fact that I could be staying up until 4am for a **** stream. Hennesy hasn't proven he can deliever a good quality yet.

    I get my streams from people who HAVE proven to me in the past that they can get me decent quality streams, good enough to watch on my 37" TV....I'll stick with them.
