Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out. I also forgot to mention the best one. www.streamsports.me very professional layout, best site I've come across so far.

When you can easily watch it for free using online streams? Last I checked, it's 2016....... not 1996.

Because we love boxing and have the disposable income to afford a ppv. Plus boxing looks better from my big HD TV rather than a computer screen.

PPV is a super healthy system.

1 million buys could easily be translated to 5 million viewers. The average is difficult to tell depending on the household amount of guests, friends, families. Of course you have some bars hosting events etc...

A 50 dollar buy is actually very very reasonable unless you're broke and you live with your parents. Purchase it and others chip in with the alcohol, food, smoke...

However, I will say the standard, HD, or I guess future 4K PPV price differences are a bit funny. But it is what it is. get a job!

If you buy tickets for 2 for a major fight it will cost you around $400 at minimum.

Buying an $80 fight that many can see at the same time sounds like a bargain to me

Would you not just connect your computer/laptop/phone to your tv :\
Just put a hdmi cable in and boom,no small screen and its on your "big hd tv"
Or else wirelessly connect it to your tv or if you have a game console such as xbox one you can cast screen to your tv.......
SMH what a waste of a "big hd tv" if you cant even use it properly

If it was 1996 we'd all have those black boxes that picked up free PPV, those things were great.

But I just said that online streams have progressed heavily these last 5 years, that there are some streams that have absolutely no lag and the streams don't get taken down like they used to 2 years ago.

A lot of them are even HD.

Get with the times, chief!

It's unreliable especially if watching with company. If I'm by myself trying to catch a stream from USA and it's not on Boxnation I stream it.

yes they were! I didn't get one until I was 17, but I remember being 12-13 and watching the spice channel which was scrambled. I could hardly make out anything until one time the picture came in super clear for like 5 seconds and the dude was railing the living shyt out of this broad. I lost it that night!!!!
