      The quality was fine. It probably looked different from what you're used to because it was in an outdoor soccer stadium with a different lighting scheme. HBO brought over their HD truck to Argentina specifically so match the quality from fights in America. They used the same cameras they normally use. One of the reasons why they don't like to do foreign fights is because it's expensive as hell to bring their equipment over.

      As for the cutting out, it was raining and shit happens. It's why HBO originally didn't want Martinez to have his fight in an uncovered outdoor stadium.

      Some places in Germany and the UK already have quality setups for boxing so it isn't a big deal to use their feeds, but other places aren't as fortunate

          Exactly what I was thinking. But the BS excuse they come out with is more annoying. I will check out the feeds from other channels to see if they're not up to par because I'm sure they will be.

                Bro you wanna fight?

                I will watch a stream thank you very much, I have no option. I wonder if there is a RELIABLE site where I can pay to get a guaranteed quality feed. Epix or something?

                  I get where you're coming from but no the color quality of the picture looked washed up.

                  Are you sure? I THINK, I may be wrong, that they mentioned they didn't have control of the feed. Could be wrong, probably was for another fight..

                  Exactly but STILL they went thru with it... I see NO EXCUSE to not broadcast the Golovkin fight. HELL put it on HBO2 for all I care... A network like H-B-freaking-o must have a competent enough staff to figure out how to get it done. I just cannot accept that they couldn't even come up with CREATIVE ways, it's just unacceptable to believe.

                  I will check out the feeds and post back, and I may be wrong once I see it but I am POSITIVE there will be quality (not just talking about image quality) productions that could have been used.

                    Good, I'm glad they're not airing this worthless fight. They rather try to televise this than a real fight between GG and DeGeale and take it a step further and put Kirkland in there with GG. I ain't trippin, Im glad I don't have to see this sorry ass fight.
