Missing Setanta already

[porkypara]

They have only been off the air for a month or so but I am missing there great boxing coverage already.


The fights from the US last night would have been on for example.

True.

Although the stream i watched last night was smooth the whole way through (i'm not a regular stream watcher), which made me think about the money i could have saved on all the PPVs/subscription over the years

I feel your pain on missing out Setanta boxing coverage mate.I was with Setanta for 3years and when their went bust i was gutted.Setanta were great on missing.I miss it

I feel for you guys. I said it before, but it is sad that the place where modern day boxing was originated doesn't even seem interested in finding a way to cover the sport. You guys got fans that travel across the pond by the thousands to support a guy, and yet the powers that be don't even pay homage to that fighting spirit by at least giving rudimentary coverage of the greatest sport. Someone needs a swift kick in the ass if you ask me{which you didn't} Thank goodness for streams.

They're still advertising Setanta over here. I guess no one has thought to pull the adds. They only just started offering here before they collapsed anyways.

They would have had the witter fight on last night and a whole load more Top Rank fights. Lets hope ESPN cover the boxing like Setanta did.

Yes but the more watched fights will have slower streams so if your watching a big fight it will keep stopping i dont imagine to many people were watching Bradley vs Campbell on a stream even less would have been watching Witter .

Streaming is definately the way forward. Any fights that are on can always be found on a stream, and, as i'm real into my video mechanics and web, its gonna get real great over the next couple of years i'm sure......

i have only watched 1 fight on a stream (last khan one) but arnt we just contributing to the fall of our beloved sport by doing this?

[WelshDevilRob]

Setanta is a Great loss to UK boxing fans.

Hopefully ESPN which has now launched will pick up some fights.

Yeah, I get you, I just believe streaming online is the way forward. I had an online account with Setanta, and for the streaming, especially when they upgraded their site towards the end, it was excellent. People need to embrace that technology. I think there is GoFightLive is that right, and also somewhere else that I was told about by a guy markb18 if i remember the name correctly. Theres some real gaps in the internet market for streaming fights with quality footage for small fees IMO.....

i hear u brotha!

i prefer watching on the tv tho, get into the whole hype of it more

For sure, one thing thats sweet though is you get yourself the right cable, laptop on wireless in your living room and link your laptop to your tv. Comp screen resolution is much higher than a TV so invariably the picture is great onto your tv. Give it a go man, you won't be disappointed.... You could even do it from a normal comp right?!
