...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Mother****ERS.

So in the past RCC has put all their shows, in their entirety, without exception, on their YouTube channel, free.

Now they've gone behind a paywall, and geoblocked to boot??

I noticed something amiss when I went to grab the YT link to edit into the RBR OP, but it had vanished from Tim's calendar. Now it lists an 11:20am EST start time, which is probably when Canal+ Sport coverage in France begins. Which means that whole first half of the undercard we normally would've seen courtesy of RCC? Poof, gone.

Lots of unhappy campers.

Fingers crossed this is just a one-off because of the world title match (guessing this is RCC's highest profile card to date) and their small hall prospect showcases will remain available gratis even if "bigger" stuff is on PPV on this "Okko" platform.

 

Got up a whole damn hour early, for what? Already on 2nd cup of coffee.

 

...speaking of which, Bivol vs. Salamov tomorrow? Yeah, that's RCC too.

 

Actually just had a glance at the actual undercard and...meh.

No great loss, I barely recognize any of those names (which is unusual considering the breadth of my "small domestic Russian boxing shows on YouTube" addiction ) so not like we're missing out much.

Still, on principle, as the abrupt end of an era... this sucks.

 

Bivol vs. Salamov card is STACKED, however... Denis Grachev is second from bottom of the bill, enough said.

The good news is, that one also has alternate international outlets broadcasting it (ESPN Knockout in select Latin American countries) so hope is yet not lost.

 

Ah...still not as good as free YouTube but cool for those who subscribe I guess.

 

We still have 3½ hours until coverage on Canal+, instead of being already balls-deep in the action by two hours.
