BoxRec

I did, was quite good. Knew I couldn't avoid the result till 8.30pm so stumped up the money. Glad too after watching the ITV coverage with all those p!ss!ng ads.

Yeah a couple of us got it and the net cut off 2 rounds in

Watched it on ITV4 instead.

i stumped up for this.. was good quality, even in full screen which was cool.

Those who got it on an illegal stream should hang their heads in shame.

Bunce was right when he talked about this on his Boxing Hour the other week.

It would be interesting to see the number of people who did actually pay for it online, most on here said they wouldn't.

Always said id pay for it and did.

Quality was good, and the coverage, stats etc shown were the way a good boxing prog should be presented. Makes a mockery of the kinda coverage we get over here.

Watched the itv4 show but was put off by the adverts!

No, I watched the ITV show.

For those who did watch it online, was it just a stream of the showtime feed?

Not that thats a bad thing at all, just wondering.

I paid for it. was always going to.

good quality apart from losing it for 2 rounds abd missing the Froch knockdown!!

Yeah it was just a stream of the full showtime show, identical to what was on ITV except with rubbish biased commentry and no long ad breaks

to be fair tho stev's might have been lost due to server/connection issues and nowt to do with the official stream quality?

as you probably know mate i am well up on these technical things......

well im a ludite so does it work : if yes its brilliant if no its fornicating crap. end.

either way i missed the fornicating fight due to fornicating Hennessey and tv companies being utter pudenda

I won't deny I watched an illegal stream.
I did so because I have twice paid for fights online to get a crap feed and wasn't prepared to do it again.
If our TV companies had bothered to show our only world champion I would have happily paid for PPV.
I wanted to show the feed from the online PPV on a tv but having hooked it up and watched the test feed through the big screen the picture quality was awful.

yeah i got was a great stream was a bit sceptical over getting it was gonna watch an illeagal one but didnt want to risk not being find one would pay again if they go this way on hte future

It was only available in UK and Ireland

aah that woudl be why so how the fook were we supposed to watch it then?


im seriously pissed i missed this fight i was all excited.

Saw a stream on JTV then it got pulled after the bloody Green fite.

Furious.

So can people clarify - it only showed the Froch fight... and it missed two rounds.

I am so glad I didn't pay for that.

Hope you have all put in your complaints, you deserve some compo for that.

I only got to watch the first two rounds and my net cut out.

I stayed up, hoping to get an illegal stream as it was the only avenue for me but no joy, don't get ITV either so I had to watch it on Youtube
Saying that i'm still pleased I stayed up

fair play to ya mate...they did get on to JTV and just shut the whole thing down .

was gutted.

I stayed up,m got an illegal stream, for 11 rounds it was fantastic quality, then it cut out on the last couple of minutes of round 12 and the whole effort was a waste of time and tarnished it all.

For me though, looking at the other streams on that site I decided not to buy as the quality wasnt that good and I dont believe that streaming technology or connection speeds are at a point where people can justify a tenner for it. In a few years we might get to a point where the streams a re reliable and high quality enough to justify a tenner.

Lessone learned though from me, never watching a stream again unless it is my ONLY option, wish Id gone for the delayed coverage on ITV4, ads or noads at least it didnt crash at the vital moment.

I watched a paid stream ($20 for 135 days access to every big fight & loads of other stuff) that wasn't in conjunction with Hennessy Sports. It was great. No trouble whatsoever and I saw all of the Showtime broadcast.

No, I didn't miss any rounds and thought it was good.
