    I don't know what they are thinking! :lol:

    They should at least go LIVE to the under card. I understand they had 2 separate windows. But it said the main event would stream at 10pm. So at 10pm I clicked, and there should have been something there. Anything is better than a silent motion graphic. They really should have started it hours ago and looped a mini-promo piece with interviews, highlights, build-up, etc.

    Even normal PPV events did such things.

    That said, the streaming quality appears to be sublime. Crystal clear and menacingly sharp.

    Curiously, what are they charging? And what's a typical charge for a PPV event there?

    Couldn't agree more, I was watching the undercard on an old fashioned TV, then I jumped on my PC to bring up ESPN +, ****ing crickets for like 15 minutes. Its quite a perplexing decision on their part.

    Yeah! Firstly, I don't get why they don't just have all of the LIVE boxing for the night on its own BOXING window, instead of 1 for undercards and 1 for the Main Event. But if that's the route they're going, they need to stream SOMETHING - anything - at the time it's advertised to start. This gives them a huge opportunity with the freedom an app affords. And the best they came up with was a motion graphic that was probably designed by some graphics intern. And they didn't even give us any elevator music, or background crowd noises, or anything of the sort.

    I think they should just make it 1 window, so when the under card ends it drops right into the main event.

    Can't say I'm thrilled about the commercials, either.

    :smoking:

    I rally want to go with Barrera here, but the fact that he lost a few rounds to Monaghan, and didn't come close to stopping him, really is a cause for concern. Also I think Hart, y moving up to the division he should probably have been in all along, with have a slightly better chin, an better power, and we all know how easily Barrera goes down and early, so I think he'll drop Barrera once or twice, then things will settle down, Barrera will get into a rhythm, make it close, but get robbed. Or Hart might legit get the KO

    Can Schwarz or whatever his name is make this even remotely interesting? Nah. Fury is going to toy with this guy but put us to sleep at the same time.

    It's £19.95 here. This is pretty much the standard cost of Boxing pay per views for us.
