Would you buy the Froch fight if it was £5 rather than £10?

No I wouldn't pay anything for a stream. They ****ed up by not getting it on TV so why should we trust them to get this right?

 

anyone see frochs qoutes in boxing weekly

"i might turn my back on britain after this"

lol- turn where carl? only the nottingham area for you my friend, he seems the type to throw the head up over simple economics and taking is personally.


also i cant wait to read the **** thats going to be written on this site on the sunday morning when the stream ****s up or is a shitty quality. you guys are going to ****in crack me up then!

 

You can almost guarantee that something will **** up tbh

They should do a test cast to at least re-assure viewers, at least.

 

I can understand his frustration, he's won a legit world title the conventional way, is now defending against his number 1 contender away from home but can't get on UK TV.

Unfortuneatly he should be blaming Hennessy not the TV execs.

 

Personally I just can't see myself buying the stream as much as I might wish to. I just wish Hennessey would maybe take a lesser offer just to get Carl the television exposure.

Unless they try and build up his profile a bit then he'll never reap the financial rewards he thinks he deserves.

 

I'd never pay to watch it, always download the torrent the next morning.

 

edit

 

Nope. Unless it's on TV I'm just not going to bother watching it and download it in the morning.

I'm not paying for a stream. Hate the things anyway, they're so unreliable.

 

Nope. £10 for a video stream? no fecking way

 

no chance

 

edit

 

you can never really watch the live streams, i wouldn't want to pay £10 for something i would find hard to watch.

 

I'm still holding out for Setanta to pull something out of the bag, just like they did with Haye v Mormeck.

That website does say it's there in case they can't get a T.V. deal, so I'm hoping there's still time for somebody to make the right decision.

 

Thats a really good point. Wether it's a fiver or a tenner probably won't make much difference to people in the grand scheme of things. But it's that decision people might make on fight night about whether to say 'it's only a fiver so yeah **** it' or 'i can't be bothered wasting a tenner on that'. Big problem in terms of total buys is people not wanting to pay to watch a fight and sit in front of a frigging laptop or something. It can be played through the telly and to be fair Froch's site has given advice on how to do it but it lost me!

Setanta is
a) Cheaper
b) Has better fights
c) dont do PPV (one subscription buys all)
d) provide a weekly boxing magazine programme
e) Acknowledge fighters from other networks

SKY charge 40 odd quid a month then an extra 15 quid for bull**** like Khan v Prescott whereas Setanta gave us Diaz v Marquez (FOTY contender) and Cotto v Marg and the upcoming Haye world HW title fights etc
