Why?????? You have to pay each month for this damn thing when it should be on one of the regular ESPN channels!!

Good stuff, ESPN +. Between the Monster and then Bud Crawford in two weeks, you have most definitely earned my $4.99.

Get over it, dude. Good content costs money. For $5, you'll get the Monster and then Crawford/Horn on 6/9. Are times that hard for you?

I got the app last month. I have a question though. I have tried watching the on-demand content and I get so much buffering and my internet connection is 200 mbps. Anyone else had that problem with the on-demand?

I paid for it and will continue to do so since it's good for the foreign fights like this but it was not a good look for ESPN that they told us it's all free on cable only for them to then package Crawford and Pacquaio's fights on their app which is a separate subscription.

They all do it though. NBC tried to pull a similar stunt with their Premier League content.

Bad assumption. I make 6 figures. The point is it's called inconvenience, non-50 inch TV access, having them access and bill your card with more security sht floating out there that can be hacked. I'm in IT so I know what can happen. On top of that ESPN carried bigger fights on the the cable channel for free with the standard subscription. And on top of that, streams almost always break up where cable does not and having a system that does not buffer the content to eliminate pixel break ups is not good. And paying for streams that are by design faulty is also not good. Not a good look from ESPN.

And therein lies the problem. Its not about money, my cable never gets shaky and cuts out like streams do 80% of the time. And almost no stream allows you to pull in the content and buffer it for smoother viewing....when a stream breaks up, it skips ahead and you miss the action.

I spend $50 on smoke that lasts me a week so i can splurge for another channel that shows boxing.
