I'm gonna illegally ****** this like I was going to in the first place.

If your a casual boxing fan no-one will download this app for one fight.

This app is designed for 'casual' boxing fans.
People who have a slight interest in boxing, but probably prefer other sports. These live boxing matches are shown in addition to the other live sports that the app gives you access to. It also features on-demand access to watch many vintage fights and other programming. It's actually perfect for a 'casual fan'. It's the hardcore boxing fans that may not appreciate the app's sparse live boxing coverage.

This kinda sucks since it's not on regular ESPN. I guess we'll all have to get use to it then because subscription live ******ing seems like the future of boxing.

Casuals don't watch vintage fights at all lol

You can barely get guys here to go back and watch that content lol

The app just needs more content right now generally. Top Rank doesn't have enough in the chamber. They need to take all of that HBO business to build it out at minimum.

How do they expect to make money from this fight when only boxing fans know that is on? Casual fans don't even know that this fight exist. There's been very little to no advertising for this fight in the states.

Casual boxing fans watch old Ali fights like weirdo hipsters listen to old Pink Floyd albums on vinyl. It makes them feel special, somehow. lol

Not sure why many people are complaining about $5. Even if it was 12 months. That's $60.. Surely you'll get your $60 back in fights

It's not the 5 dollars. It's the principle of it. Go pay someone 5 bucks every month to watch NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB

[chaosisme]

LOL at these people acting like these ******ing services are doing us some kind of favor by only charging 5 dollars etc. Oh it's just another 5 bucks on top of my cable, HBO, Showtime bill! THANK YOU!!!! gtfo.

ESPN is banking on people to do free trial and forget to cancel before 7days up not noticing the charge every month

How can you noticed a $5 charge a month? It's so negligible, it's like nothing. PAC-Matthysse, Crawford-Horn, already worth a year of charges.
