If it was'nt for sopcast I would'nt have been able to watch the fight. Do you think this will happen from now on?

yes it started to blow up too much. it used to be really small but ever since the cotto margarito fight they have been getting insane viewership.
Just the ONE room in cotto margarito on the justin sportinwood site got 20,000 views. multiply that by 50$ per PPV and you get over $1,000,000 that that ONE room was milking from HBO's profits. And sportinwood is one of MANY broadcasting a pirate signal on the net as you saw tonight there was dozens of sites doin it so HBO is losing MILLIONS -
They can do their best to crack down on it but they can't stop it.
From now on we need to be more covert about links.
I myself am only going to PM people from now on, and only people I trust. I don't want to give it to some moron who's going to turn around and create a thread about it only to have the link terminated 10 minutes later.Comment

I wonder if they can go after sopcast.Comment

I doubt it, but if they do there are other p2p sites you can fall back on.
Of course I won't mention them here because someone from HBO might be reading this and I'm not about to start paying their outrageous prices for PPV's with 1 good match.
Perhaps I'd be willing to if they started making solid undercards. But instead the only thing worth buying is the main event, prior to that you get 3 or 4 boring fights that make you want to kill yourself.Comment

HBO could eliminate half of the people who use P2P programs like sopcast if they just allowed the average cable or satellite user to purchase the main event only for like $9.95 or $14.95 or even $19.95.
Half of us hate using streams because the quality is so damn abysmal sometimes, but we do it because it's our only option.
But instead they charge you damn near 60 bucks for 3 fights you didn't want to see, and the 1 fight you cared about.Comment
