    This thread os so that Hennesey Sports can get back to us and answer our questions and concerns about the stream.

    I will £10 to see this fight if;

    1) We get a guarentee on the quality of the stream. If it is going to be at the same level as the ones you get on an ilegal site then why would we not go there. If there are 40,000 fans trying to watch a fight the quality will suffer, what our you going to do about that.
    2) Hennesey Sports have no track record of streaming fights
    3) There is no information about how we pay for the the fight
    4) Are we going to see any of the undercard
    5) Can we only watch it live, will there be replays or can we download the fight?


    Quite simply what we see at the minute is very amateurish, and UK fight fans need answers before you we pay and stupidly high rate of £10.00

    For £10.00 from setanta i get 5,6 boxing cards plus other sport

    If this card was a fiver and Hennesey had a track record of reliably delivering high quality streams then I'd buy it.

    As it is, forget it.

    Mick, how about the truth as to why nobody wants to but this fight?

    All of the tv execs can't be wrong can they?

    He's a **** promotor, that's all it is.

    I'm not buying it, no ****ing way.

    I'm not going to sit here and watch a crappy pixelated stream where it stops and starts buffering every 10 seconds.

    Hennessy has lost the plot. He should have accepted whatever the tv companies were willing to pay. Something is better than nothing. Poor old show. I'm going to the fight, but if I wasn't I'd be very upset about no tv coverage

    I think there is a good idea in there somewhere, and this kind of thing could possibly be the way it goes in the future.

    Having said that It's over priced for a boxing stream, especially one that people are unaware of the quality they will get, and what exactly they will get.

    At half that price, with the full card, I'd get it (and be quite happy about it - unless it was a total jumpy pixelated mess), as it stands it's a no.

    if 5000 buy it at £10, and lets say there costs are £2, which is generious, 5,000 times 8 is 40,000. and that is at a puch, the tv companies must have offerd more than 40k. Diaz vs Maruez cost 30k

    I was watching the Arreola-McCline fight on a stream the other night and the guy kept asking for donations every five seconds. Weird, felt guilty for watching the feckin thing.
