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.
