Before YouTube made money selling Boxing Tapes HBO showtime and all shows from Europe and canal plus was great another boxing channel in France the good old days but when *******s came in 2000 changed the game forever and now IPTV -

YT is awesome! Every Sunday morning I smoke a fat cannon and watch boxing for free instead of paying 100.00 for ****ty cards.
Eric Raskin wrote a great article, but I love watching **** for free.
It made me happy to know that the promoters lost over 100 million on illegal streaming.
**** all the boxing writers who are nothing more than whores for promoters.Comment

The 100 million was referring to Usyk/*****.Comment

well i started following in 1999
we had hbo and espn. i would record the fights on vhs. we didnt buy ppv's, watched the fights the week after and actually i would avoid looking up the results and it would be like watching it live, except sometimes i could tell from the replay length if it was going to go less than 12 rounds.
boxrec and the forums i pretty much always had growing up. initially we were on dial up, took some time until people started uploading fights online. there were clubs you could trade vhs or dvd's or buy dvds but i never got involved with those much.Comment

Borec is great for results but their rating system for fights and fightters is sketchy - for example 2 fighters with a 20-4 record might be both 3* fighters but the context and timing of fights and wins is critical and boxrec doesn't give u that -Comment
