I mainly watch streams too, they charge $24.95 over here. Some off the bigger fights are more expensive. We get a lot of the fights replayed on Sky. But you can't go wrong with a good stream!

You guys get done 60 US ?
What do you English fellas pay in pounds?
We get ours for $39 . 95. yeah 40 bucks.
Canada what do you guys pay?
We Canadians are smart enough to save our money and just watch it on a stream. Most of us are probably too drunk to accurately remember the big fights as they happen anyways, so we just download them the next day and save ourselve $49.99.
Thanks for the info,
so your 10 bucks more than Australia and our dollars are on par just about, yet the states dollar is higher and they pay 10 more than you and 20 more than us down here ??? WTF
England? Ireland? what are yours on average pls?

:) The trick is to get drunk enough two days in a row so that when you remember back, you think that you actually watched it live anyway..

Nah, that's the norm for most fights, even utter sh*t like Cameron/ Hopoate. Fights like Tyson/ Lewis & Mayweather/ Hatton are around $49.95.
Re: Is it me or is Boxing currently the most exciting it has been in years?
It's not much to add to this thread, but even in Australia we've had Jones out here to fight Green this year, and Green's still providing a bit of excitement for the guys here who like to support a local...
I'm always excited about boxing though, but it's a treat and really highlights how good boxing is when we get these super fights or showdowns between guys who have really been dominating their opposition in ways that would make boxing fans of any era excited...
I as many others, have had trouble of late getting excited over the the HW division, but at least having some excitement to watch Haye try to take on the bigger grade opposition, well that's exactly where it starts isn't it? Excitement for matchups... And the more the manifest into great bouts, boxing will continue to keep it's fans and hopefully add new ones..
Re: Is it me or is Boxing currently the most exciting it has been in years?
The best thing for us over here is Tua's deal with Maori TV. We got the Cameron & Ahunanya fights free on national tv & I think we got 3 more to come, its been a huge boost for the sport. Pity the under cards are so sh*t!!!
Re: Is it me or is Boxing currently the most exciting it has been in years?
We gat charged about £15 for stuff like the Haye/Hatton fights.
Although I suspect Sky might try and ramp up the cost if Haye fights a Klit.

Damn shame if they do...In the UK there is radio broadcast no?....I know there is a link on my other comp to a site that plays the fights via radio announcer i believe it is just a net cast of a radio station in the UK...They do a decent job calling fights......Kind of gives me that feeling of what it was like in the 30's 40's and 50's

Most ive ever paid for a sky box office fight is 20quid to watch lewis-tyson and even that proved to be complete value for money,
Amazing when you think mayweather-mosley is on free to view sky yet khan-salita costs 15quid :o:o:o

There are still issues but on a whole I think the game is moving in the right direction...
Absolutely. At the moment, I seem to be getting excited about the next fight as soon as the previous one finished. Always something to look forward to in the close future of boxing is a great important thing IMO, and then there are some great prospects to look forward to that make a bright future no damn doubt.

That is what I do, I listen to the BBC radio 5 commentary when I stream and turn that commentary down. Normally the radio is a head of the stream which pre-warns me if anything good is comming up. Haye, Khan and Hatton are normally on the BBC radio.

Well, I'm not gonna stream it to a 13" monitor when I invite 10 people over to see it. Sure, I could connect my 46" tv to it but to have a shitty stream would ruin it. I'll pay the 55 bucks to watch it in HD and record it on DVR for the following day to rewatch it sober... But that's me.
And yes, it's a great time for boxing though I also agree it was a slow start. It's shaping up indeed.
