I'll be looking for a free stream or if not radio 5 live.

I'm working until 4am anyway, but will settle for putting the Appleby Lindsay fight on full volume in front of heaps of pen pushers and suits at my bar who thought boxing deceased as a sport the day Naz lost to some Mexican.
I'll wait for the replay tomorow.

I think I'll buy it. I've wasted more then £10 on less entertainment then I think Froch will provide. Not particularly good value having to watch it on my 17" monitor.

Jeez not really thought about what I will be foing to be honest. I will hopefully catch the ITV replay on Sunday or if I can be bothered I will try and find a way to watch it live. I certainly will not be paying to watch a crappy feed.
Erm. Anyone know how good the feed will be?

Why anyone would buy this stream is beyond me.

Whatever Hennessey was paid for the delayed rights, he should have asked for a little more and given them the live rights. This is Frochs moment to shine. Mainstream audience could make him huge. As it is, he might register a sensational ko but not reap the rewards from it.

Same for me.
I have not got the money to be buying this PPV, when I have paid £40 to go to the sunderland card on the Hatton PPV and then I will be paying £15 for the PPV as well.
I cant see this one being a must not miss. Hopefully stay away from the result on sunday. Or indeed watched the delayed showing having already known the result.
Either way its Hennesey's loss not mine.

No way I'm paying money to watch a stream in the middle of the night when I can watch it for free on my TV the next day at a reasonable hour.

Will watch on ITV4 the next day!
No idae why you'd PAY for the stream when you could get a free one with the same amount, if not less, effort.

I am really looking forward to this fight, surprised all we ended up with was a PPV stream though, glad ITV stumped up some cash to get the delayed fight. As for Setanta, they gave the fight a big build-up with Froch on the show, and basically didn't deliver. The home of boxing?:lol::lol::lol::lol:

The poll doesn't look good for Froch.

Whens the weigh in?
Well it should have been at 9pm today, nothing been released just yet.
I will be buying this fight, would have just seen it on a free stream, two reasons-its Froch and this is in effect paying his wages, and the main reason, we all know those streams can go bad sometimes.

The thing that doesn't appeal is staying up until that time to watch it on a laptop. Was gonna listen on 5 Live but the ITV deal has decided it. Just wear ear muffs in the pub at lunchtime (altho expect nobody will know or say anything anyway). The good thing is that even if sky sports news is rolling in the background as it usually is they won't mention it as the childish tits refuse to cover anything that they don't show on sky sports. After that just sit in garden with a crate all afternoon!

Thing is people talk about the folk that are watching free streams but its easier to get a free stream than download stuff and pay the 9.95 on the official website, and thats for folk that are actual boxing fans never mind the casual fans who know nothing about the official website and just log onto free streams etc. last minute because its the end of a night out and want to see it.
Would probably pay between £5-7 for the fight if it was on tv but not for a stream. Really want to see it but aint paying that alone or for 3 or 4 mates to bury round the screen to watch it.

I don't see why people will pay when you can get a free stream and watch the fight a few hours later on your TV.
Madness.

That'll do me.
I'm not paying £10 to watch boxing on my PC.

my problem is with Online streams, i have never thought of paying for them because they are not very good, if there is a preview of the quality i might consider it.

Jeez I really want to watch it. Not sure if I will be able to avoid the result either. I know some fool will give the result away. I pity them if they do.

I really want to watch it live but am a abit wary of paying 10 quid to watch it over the net. I cant understand the thought process of Hennessy, the exposure Froch would have gained from a live showing on ITV will by far outweigh the income streamed from omnisport PPV.
The ideal solution would have been to show the fight at 10am on Sunday morning if ITV didnt wish to carry it live. If i was Froch id be looking at ditching Hennessy at the earliest opportunity.

I think I will watch it online but I want a quality stream! Not sure where to get it. I might pay 10quid just for a good stream.
