Please don't subscribe to ESPN+/DAZN/etc (or even use free trials)

Well we agree on one thing, at least. How about if I (and those like minded) keep one cable channel and you (and those like minded) sub to one of the new sports(boxing) apps?

 

You pay subscription for HBO and Showtime, major boxing hasn't been free for like 30 years in America, so what's the issue with a cheaper sports-centric services? HBO's practically out of boxing anyway, spend that dime on Netflix and ESPN+ and never ever look back. 2 yrs from now ppl. will laugh at network programming, TV's done for pal.

I dont have to hint, I am fully self-reliant in finding all my illegal streams (which I have openly admitted to using on here for years, even before I was a mod, because saying you make use of illegal streams isn't actually what is against the rules here, because nobody cares about that; what is against the rules is ASKING for them, because it opens the admins up to litigation if their place is viewed, rightly or wrongly, as being a haven for the dissemination of said illegal streams. Just saying 'yeah I use those' has zero consequence on the admins or anybody. #commonsense)

 

A ten page thread just so this guy can subtly ask for an illegal stream of Vivian Harris Vs Chop Chop Corley. I’m at a loss for words....

 

I'm pretty sure I've been banned before for mentioning, and not even direct mention but a vague comment which could be interpreted as talking about streams.

They've recently relaxed on it though, among other things. Which is good.

 

Personally, I don't have nothing against it as long as it's done properly. I use a variety of subscription services and most of them are the cheapest legit alternative. Look at Spotify and compare it to iTunes, then netflix and movie rentals/buying.. They've made things way better for the consumer..

Of course you COULD do everything illegally but that's neither here nor there, I WANT to pay for a service being provided as long as it's reasonable. Before these services I didn't use to pay for my music, movies, books or anything like that but they made it worth it.

Is it only ESPN fights though? If that's the case then they need to really make strides Haymon style to try and establish some kind of monopoly, I mean they're doing pretty good now but I'm not sure if I'd subscribe.

Problem with illegal streaming as well is, whilst you may get it for free, it's ****. Ads everywhere, they will cut off, shitty 360/440p quality (yeah I know, sometimes there are good streams but for smaller or huge cards, that's not always the case)

A good quality paid streaming service provides a good incentive to stop watching boxing illegally.

 

That was cool Dino.

 

By all accounts ESPN+ has been a total flop. ESPN is losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers a month as well. If you still have cable or satellite you are a sucker.
