Boxing on internet-tv: Jalipo

Inspired by hitmandonny's recent post on 'Boxing and it's marketing' and helped by having a day of sickleave – oh, how I hate the flu! – I set out somewhat systematically watch and uncover the different ways of watching boxing off the internet. Now, we all know (or should know at least) that it's relatively easy to get access to most fights. Problem is imo that most of the times, we as fans need to actively pursue a given fight. Despite the numerous youtube links – or semi-legal databases for that matter – most times one has to either stumble across a link, or do a search on a figther or a fight oneself. Some of these problems – and the small matter of things being legal or not, if that is something one should care about – might be helped by some of the new TV-platforms that are springing up. I've tried to give a basic review of some of these – pro's and cons etc – as I thought it might be of interest to some of you fine gentlemen as well.
It goes without saying that comments, suggestions, additional programs/platforms etc. would be appreciated.
Jalipo: Jalipo™ Beta - Program Guide

Boxing currently available:

Frank Warren: Jalipo™ Beta - Program Guide
3 Khan fights (the most recent being against Limond), the Mitchell-Torres fight and the Arthur-Foster Jr fight. All are including undercard (adding up to 23 fights).

SecondsOut.tv: Jalipo™ Beta - Program Guide
48 fights, mostly from Germany and Eastern Europe. Includes Gomez-McCall, Holyfield-Ibragimov (not available in my country though) + Gamboa, Herbie Hide and a few Odlanier Solis fights among others.

Pro's:

- It's easy.
- Worked relatively smoothly for me, despite a relative dodgy internet connection.
- Decent - and recent - selection.
- Easy to register - and get 200 free credits.
- Good selection of Warren-related fights.
- Good selection of German and Eastern European fights - extra nice as most other 'big' fights in Germany can be watched through ARD's website.

Con's:

- You need to register (fairly easy though).
- It costs money.
- Some of the channels are limited to certain countries.
- All around not as classy as Joost.

Small review:

Compared to Joost - and youtube etc - it matters a great deal that it costs money. That alone somewhat disqualifies it. However, once you sign up, you get 200 free credits, and I did just that. Having used my credits already, I can either sign up with a different email-address (I am not at all tech-savvy, but it looked like it was easy to register more times), or pay. It's 20 euro for 2600 credits, which according to my calculations will give you roughly 480 minutes of watching times. In other words 8 hours of boxing - which, I guess, is not that expensive. Still - it matters though.

As for the boxing, the stream was good, despite my dodgy connection. I spend my credits watching Gary Lockett's most recent fight - terrible matchup, but I've never seen Lockett before, and was somewhat curious - Mitchell-Torres (same as above) and finally Stash Kashtanov against some Da Silva. The three fights were from December 07, January 08 and 25th March 08 respectively, so quite all of them quite recent, if not exactly live. To sum up, Jalipo should get credit for a better selection than Joost, but having to pay obviously detracts and the platform are doesnt have anyway near the same 'coolness-factor'. But hey, it's boxing, and it's handily available.
