Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread

[Master]

What is Epix, do you have to pay for the channel, surprised HBO/Showtime did not pick this fight up.

Yeah it's a pay channel. I get it through Dish Network. It's basically a movie channel that occasionally shows Boxing & Bellator (MMA).

That is a bitch to have to pay for another channel to watch boxing.

Epix is something you get online (Epix.com), but I believe there's a way you can put it on your big screen TV in HD. In any event, if I can't get it for free somehow on Epix i'll find another stream to watch it on, there's no way I pay I pay a dime to watch this.

Well, this totally sucks. I got cable... and the fight is nowhere to be found. It sounds like it's gonna be a good fight, and with the scarcity of good fights nowadays, I hate to miss any of them.

Can you connect your computer to your television? If so, you can watch it on epixhd online and have it on your tele.

Gentlemen, I'll try to be on for the RBR during the fight, but may have to hook up the computer to the tv, which will make it difficult. Either way, may the best man win and let's get ready to rumble.

It's not that it's not a really good fight Rant-cat, it should be a slugfest, i'm just not going to pay money to watch it.

cheers

So sky is a premium pay channel yet still shows commercials, wtf

[armin]

As annoying as hbo and showtime commentators can be at times british commentary is unbearable ugh...

[Beanz]

Not impressed Lloyd? Lloyd is nowhere on any radar?

[Mars_ax]

I'm getting Pier-Olivier Cote vs. Mark Lloyd, (junior welterweights) right now, 3rd round just starting. I don't know how many undercard fights will be shown before the main event.
