    ESPN+ is a dumb idea and I hope ot fails

    Crawford vs Horn will be viewed by as many as Crawford vs Postol. I hate streaming services. I didn't know that super flyweight card was ESPN+ as well. Garbage.

    Get woke brother. Its 2018. Streaming is taking over this mfer!!!!!

    But yea I can't dog anyone for not being a fan of paying more money to watch boxing. Ultimately I think this leads to a more reasonable position for the fans, but the transition to the new from the old is gonna take awhile so its gonna suck for a lil while.

      It's not just Boxing fans that have this app so if it's in your face every time you log into the app aggressively advertising it it may do fairly well.

        Is it a subscription fee?
        If it is like that I cant see why you are whining.
        Streaming my fights would be awesome in fact thats what I do now(ilegal streams). But having a legal way to do it its really good.

          App is great. Gives you more content for less money. Better than subscribing to HBO or showtime IMO just for the boxing.

            At $4.99 per month it's better than PPV and cheaper than HBO and SHO.

              I don't hope ot fails but they have to put regular sports on the app. I'm not paying $4.99 for bowling & horse racing. I'll take the free trial for the Crawford fight then I'm deleting.

                It's 4.99 but its something that I personally don't need. I rarely watch ESPN for any other sports or their biased shows. If there's a good fight I'll watch it on ESPN. I pay $8.99 for Showtime and that's because I like their shows and boxing. The problem with ESPN+ and this new Dazn, can you go into a bar or restaurant and expect them to have these streaming services? Will bars and restaurants want to change their whole setup and add streaming services, which would add a cost to them for each tv?

                  TV is a dumb idea and it will fail very shortly.

                  you pay 150 a month to watch programming that's approximately 15-20 minutes of commercials and marketing per hour?

                  a football game plays for 15 minutes of actual gametime, and the broadcast is 3 hours?


                  believe me, it's not streaming that is going away


                  i pay 10-15 a month for netflix and it blows my TV selection right out of the water. if i wanted a really comprehensive TV package i'd be paying close to 200 a month. righ tnow i get fast internet, basic cable, hbo and showtime, and it costs me 150 a month! and you still watch 15-20 mins of ads for every hour of TV you watch does that sound nuts to anybody else?
