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, ******s 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 ******s 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 ******s do 80% of the time. And almost no ****** allows you to pull in the content and buffer it for smoother viewing....when a ****** 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.
