OK people, every time I want to watch a big fight on stream something goes wrong. I NEED to see this fight. I live in Norwich. Does anyone know of any bars showing the fight, or is there a stream that is reliable and won't go wrong?
Thanks in advance.

If you can get a train to Oulton Broad South (nr Lowestoft) the Flying Dutchmans Pub is showing it and Hatton Malignaggi the week after. Drinks all night, or so I hear.

Just get a setanta card for your freeview box you cheap b#stard Blowe!! Its only a tenner a month.
Surely your unfeasibly large gambling wins should cover the cost for David Hayes heavyweight adventure?

Lol, I refuse to pay a tenner a month for an average of approximately half a fight a month I actually want to see. And £20 a fight is not a price I'm willing to pay when there must be other alternatives!

You have over 3000 posts on a boxing forum, yet there are only six fights a year you would actually want to see?

Prem Football and England away Qualifiers too
Chuck in coverage of the Blue Square, various Leagues across Europe, the FA Cup, UEFA Cup, and that UFC malarky and I reckon you might tune in for more than just the 6 fights a year Riddick!

thanks for the offer but I don't have a car here!
just phoned up setanta but i have to pay for 3 months min. i wont really be watching all that other stuff, no way im paying for 3 months for one fight.
Ah well, it'll be the usual situation of flapping around at the last minute, opening up a stream only to get sound that's 2 minutes behind with Ian Darke shouting about how explosive it was.

Welcome to the boxrec forum, where hardcore fans gather to tell each other they are not interested in most of the fights of these times

So Setanta is now on, but I want to watch the Haye highlights programme that was on before the Barrett one. Is there a feature for me to do this or have I just missed it?

Was this fight originally meant to have American viewers? I notice that it was originally scheduled to take place after midnight, which is odd, considering nobody can get home from Greenwich after that time without a cab or driving. Now it has been brought forward to 11.15, which suggests to me they were trying to get American TV interested.
