[LoadedWraps]

i will go solid snake and break this dude out of jail, and bring back the guru for every1

Do you want boxing scene shut down too? Because the video trading block section does more piracy than a stream. In fact you posting here shows you support piracy.

False. Just because I use the internet does not mean I support everything that's in it, just like by visiting this site doesn't mean I support everything that's in it. I don't visit several parts of this site because they don't interest me and I don't want to be a part of them (like the Lounge, Video, History... etc sections).

Pay or face the consequences!

WAR AUTHORITY!!

Doubt it these organisations are too greedy, subscription fees would have to be enabled for them to allow that to be the case.

They'll eventually realize that if they're 100% ad-supported with a free online product, more people will tune in and they'll make more revenue plus they won't have to worry about "illegal" streams if there's an official free stream. They won't lose their PPV revenue though if they just make it around a 480p stream. People who want HD will buy the PPV.

They've already started to realize it anyway - you can see full fights on Youtube through HBO or BoxNation official channel for free. Just a matter of time when they implement it live.

For those critizing the PPV format, that is your personal stance and way of justifying piracy which is not the solution. Sure, there has been an increase in PPVs and perhaps not all are PPV worthy but that doesn't mean that piracy is the answer.

Support the sport you follow and enjoy. Showtime and HBO are around $30 monthly and you get plenty of quality boxing in HD, well worth the money. If you can't pay for a PPV, then go to the theater or to a bar or pay less for the SD version. Most of you spend $50-$70 on meaningless crap anyways.

Again, piracy has no place in boxing. I like seeing the law put their intimidating foot down and terrorizing the scene.

What, if not piracy, is the "answer" for an increase in the amount of annual exorbitant PPVs with ****ty undercards then?

That's not me being facetious, either. I generally want to hear what you think the remedy to this problem (which has been ongoing in boxing for the last decade) is.

That's assuming you can come down off of your moral high horse long enough, that is.

Shout out to my man guru for bringing joy to those that couldn't afford to see the fights. I didn't read this whole thread so i don't know if there is some type of fund to bail him out, but I would donate a couple dollars as a thank you.

[PACnPBFsuck]

Hopefully he doesn't get much time, respect to my man Guru.

Was he a poster here?

I don't know? but he was def making money off that stream from the ads he had on it. Some of those illegal streamers make thousands of dollars per event. Those annoying pop ups come up and you have to click this tiny little X half of the time you end up clicking the ad and have to wait again till it says wait 20 seconds to turn off this ad on the video.

i remember heard some illegal streamer in Europe made $400,000 in one year from those click ads, like the ones that are on boxingscene.

[Skip Bayless]

Its worth noting that he wasn't just in the boxing game, he streamed pretty much all Premier League, Champions League and other soccer games through another site called Nutjob.

Dude was in deep, and he will be missed.

guru

nutjob was the greatest streaming website of all time, oh well on to cricfree.tv now. if the cops think this will stop streaming sites they dont have a fu$in clue

[PrinceNaz88]

Damn, that is a sickener. The fights were very smooth to watch on there..apparently.

BoxNation gonna be getting an extra tenner then..
