Will you avoid the Morales Pac result for 1 whole week?

SKY are showing it a week later.
What a fight this is. I'm so excited and I would love to watch it live or even on a delay on Sunday morning but Sky are really taking the piss putting it on a week later. I'll have to just read a round by round of the fight the next day.
It really is ridiculous that a fight like this is being delayed so much in this day and age.

No way will I avoid that one - shame as it's looking a real 50/50 affair.
I managed to avoid the Eastman result till the BBC "show" last night, but no way will I manage a week.
looking at Bunce and that tall bloke in that deserted studio/cupboard last night, it looked like after hours in a out of season hotel...last one out turn off the lights - depressing viewing.
PacMan / Morales - what a fight - is there anyway can this one fail to ignite into fireworks?
Manny takes it on points in a war. Morales must be feeling the pace by now.

Hmm, can Pacman do the unthinkable and stop him. I favour Pacquaio, he's so much quicker than Morales, and bangs every bit as hard.
God I wish I was getting to see this live.

It does take the piss.
An acceptable compromise would be if they showed it at 8.30 on Sunday morning like has happened before.
I'm sure the rights are much cheaper than buying live even if it's just a few hours.
There's no way i'll be staying off boxing websites for a whole week terrified that i'll catch the result somewhere else by accident.
I'm cancelling my Sky today (i was going to do it straight after Pac v Erik anyway). I'll be downloading all my fight action from Boxing Torrents from now on...

Yes, I think that I'll manage to avoid the result with no problems what-so-ever.
I'll be in the Sierra Nevadas, with no internet access, a round trip of 130km to pick up the English papers (not that they'd report it anyway), and no Sky until the week of the fight at the earliest (even then it's touch and go). In fact, it's very likely that the first time I hear anything about the fight will be when someone sends me a two month old copy of Boxing Monthly.
Not that I'm bitter about it or anything.

There is as much chance of me avoiding the result of this fight for an entire week as there is of Natalie Imbruglia knocking on my door tonight and making sweet love to me then insisting on paying for a Chinese Take-away meal for two to be delivered.

Not going to wait a week.

I like the sound of all this downloading straight after business...where do i get it from? How much does it cost? Will it take 3 days to download on my shitty AOL Broadband?! So many questions 8) No way i can wait the full week without knowing the result.

Hilarious they're even expecting you to wait a week. Surely this is a piss-take?

http://boxingtorrents.no-ip.org is the website people share the fights through. It's all about sharing, though, so the fight might download quick depending on the speed of your internet connection, but you really have a moral obligation as a boxing fan (sounds so naff) to leave it sharing on your computer for a good few hours after it's done. They ban people anyway who don't share.
You need to check out that AOL don't block the ports your connection will be sharing the files through - many ISPs do nowadays.
