McAllister v King to be shown online

£4 for that? I suppose its better than no coverage whatsoever, which there probably wouldn't be otherwise. At least people have the choice.

I'm skeptical as to how well it would do. £5 for a world class fight maybe...

 

i was thinking about this too. this whole 12.99 for cards online just isnt going to fly imo, nowhere near enough people will buy


for example warren should stick the rogan fight online seeing as how hes geting no tv but id say 2.50 would be fair and popular for that card.


big vegas fights with p4p contenders could be about a tenner, but anything below that is pushing their luck with anything more than a fiver online i think

Lee McAllister defends his Commonwealth lightweight title against fellow Scot Charlie King in Aberdeen on October 17, a 12-rounder to be screened online.
McAllister, who enjoys home advantage and goes by the nickname of “The Aberdeen Assassin”, won the title in the summer with a three-round stoppage of Ghana’s Godfriend Sowah, who clearly lacked God on his side in Aberdeen’s packed Beach Ballroom and was down before the stoppage. That was a solid display because Ghanaians rarely get floored, let alone stopped, and McAllister has come back well from an eight-round defeat to Manchester’s streaking John Murray in a crack at the British lightweight title at the start of the year. At 29-2 (6), the champion enjoys real experience over King, 15-1 (0), who was eliminated in Prizefighter by Sunderland’s Paul Holborn in Glasgow in March (pts 3) for his only defeat but came back with a good win over Bolton’s rangy Jon Hussey in Glasgow in June (pts 6).
Hussey was 13-1 going into that one.
King is not a banger but has fought on one of McAllister’s undercards in Aberdeen and will know what to expect. The Motherwell stylist also holds the Scottish lightweight title which he won with a 10-round decision over Stuart Green in Glasgow in January and gives an interesting little edge to this ‘derby’ affair. Yes, McAllister is the sharper puncher and a clever boxer himself with good stamina but this is a cup final for King and form can go out of the window on such occasions.
Nevertheless, McAllister, who is lucky to be fighting at all after an horrific hit-and-run smash a few years ago which left him without a spleen, looks too tough and ‘rounded’ for his man and punches and boxes his way to a rip-roaring stoppage.

 

I'd pay this just to see the atmosphere in the Beach Ballroom alone.

Apparently it's always packed to the rafters and one of the noisiest, most intimidating places that any away fighter could go to.

It'll be even louder when the Aberdonians find out that they are live on t'internet.

 

i was thinking of gogn but migth watch it online

honestly the atmosphere is amaing the opponent gets what i think is a noisy cheer but when lee comes its like Ghandi, Mandela and Ali all wlked onto the stage with Kim Kardashian naked beside them. Its crazy

 

Man, same night as Froch fight

 

Guess who wont be paying, thats right, ME!

I would rather give up the sport than pay to watch internet streams. I love boxing, but the day it gets too hard to watch fights I will simply walk away from the sport.
& its boxings fault, not mines.

Seriously, boxing needs to get its act together and fast. 4 quid to watch a nothing fight online on a dodgy stream, whats the bloody sport coming to?

 

Nope its a lovely venue for sure but there's nothing intimidating about a load of pissed up, old blokes singing flower of Scotland while their local boxer waltzes round the ring, clinching every two seconds, gets knocked down twice- gets a point taken off for holding and gets awarded a shocking decision.

Then the video never, ever surfaces. And the Boxing News don't send reporters that far, they take the report of McAllisters best mate at the argyle who just happens to be one of the least knowledgable and shodiest boxing writers in the country.

They should call it the fight club because whatever happens in the Ballroom stays in the ballroom. :rofl

 

Hmmmmmmm bitter?

 

Yeah i'm in pieces. Nah not bitter- just as a young boxer wanted a fair crack instead of getting jobbed by some divvy referee.

Its probably better in the long run that I lost that fight.

 

Don't tell me your the numpty from the Argyle?

 

Jeff i can imagine it would be hard to beat McAllister on points there, Jeff ive never seen the fight or heard anything about it, so im sure you was robbed but it must have been abit close.

 

won't be paying it.
