    I agree one million % here

      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?
      I use the ads as a break time... bathroom break... puff puff break.... imo whats more nuts is the actual people who buy the stuff thats advertised haha

        I'm with you man. Yea it's only 5 bucks a month but with all the other streams and services it adds up. This isnt like one place to get all fights, I'm still buying showtime, hbo, ESPN and all the channels that don't put up streams. Now Eddie Hearn wants people to buy his stream? Before you know it someone else will have another stream for boxing. Instead of the handful of places that put out boxing now we have a dozen or so

          This why you need to have a group of boxing buddies. Each gives a dollar and you guys meet in one spot and stream it on the TV and it's only a dollar or less.

            The difference is Showtime is actually giving you the **** for your buck.

            Pay 4.99, then what's next to look forward to after Crawford-Horn?

                  I'll stream from another source. I'm not paying for ESPN+ on top of already paying a premium to get ESPN. **** em.

                    ESPN+ is extremely disappointing. You still need a subscription to Cable or Satellite to watch most of the stuff on it so basically ESPN found a way to get a EXTRA $5 from people while forcing you to keep your Cable and Satellite Subscription

                      I don't like ESPN. They are commercial crazy. They show 2 minutes of commercials in the 1 minute break between rounds. When the commercials are over the round has already started. Then they show the live fight and what happened in the previous round at the same time which is distracting and annoying. HBO and Showtime boxing have no commercials.
