Cool, thanks for that. Do you know if HBO have an online thing where you can buy and stream online in HD?

I would be surprised if HBO did not have this service on offer to the public. I guess a visit to their website may help. Don't have the time at the moment to check. Hope it's there for you. I will be getting it on BoxNation.

Just checked it there but you have to be within the 50 states to avail the service. It's HBOgo. I wouldn't mind watching it on BoxNation but I don't like there commentary

Any of you guys ever use the likes of Flash Sport Streams or Live Online Footy for PPV streams?....Something like 7 euro for a month which seems pretty good as you get all the sky sports etc. Don't really fancy trowling the interwebz looking for a stream of this fight, then find a stream and then it stalls. Story of my life at 4am on a big fight night

**cowzerp** · 24-04-2012, 11:35

I don't understand why people don't just get Boxnation, Fair play to them getting this fight and showing plenty of good Boxing.

Had flash sports but it got dodgy enough for a while there, with none of the matches being shown properly. Don't know if the situation has improved.

None of the matches being shown properly..as in they were really laggy and un-watchable?

there coverage is pretty poor though
they had Richard Keyes presenting it once when it was on freeview & he didn't have a clue about boxing
plus the had Buncy the most annoying man on tv

Tom Cruise · 24-04-2012, 13:26

I hope Mayweather and Packman get knocked out as they have not got into the ring with each other.I dont know who is to blame for that but its a disgrace.

You know, both losing wouldn't upset me in the slightest. I think you're onto something here.

It's not that bad, not bad enough to refuse to get it in. I mean, you are there to watch the fight, sometimes the commentary may not be to your liking, but surely it's bearable enough for you to enjoy the fight? I like Steve Bunce. Full of passion. Yes, at times OTT, but still brings passion.

Plus you can always hit mute

walshb · 24-04-2012, 13:42

Yes, you coud hit the mute. But, I will put up with the possible bad commentary so as I can at least hear the crowd, the oohs and aaahs, and the punches. A fight on mute is worse to me than bad commentary.

The oohs and ahhs make it so much more exciting!..I could never watch a fight on mute.

Just remembered these punches. Serious hits

babymanval · 24-04-2012, 16:10

Jesus, we get fairly slim pickings this side of the Atlantic for commentary/production. Doesn't that boxnation sh!te look like it transmits from some lads shed in about 116p quality, with almost unlistenable commentary? Jim Watt is just as bad: "2 Clean puncheeeeeeeeeeees!".

Ugh, that clip of May/Mosley rd 2. still gets me excited/disappointed. If Shane had just taken a step back and come forward 2 or 3 more times in the fashion that caught Floyd, he would've put him away. He said as much afterwards, hindsight though eh. It was as if his own legs went from adrenaline dump from the achieving the almost impossible and rocking Floyd.
