    Live streams are pretty much limited to Americas due to time difference. As to downloads, there are not so many of them, at least I was struggling to find those fights at the usual torrent sites and then it downloaded quite slowly (never had those problems with UFC torrents). I would say this way of watching boxing is for the patient and determined, there can't be so many of us.

    If your struggling for day after downloads then your looking in the wrong place man. Get posting a little more and you'll have access to the file sharing area man. I try to keep that place moving every fight weekend man.

    Those numbers are dam low, but yeah let's hope it was due to it being the holiday weekend. That said if that card had taken place within a few hours of me I would have been there, holiday or not. As it is instead I just get a bunch of no namer fights with 2-15 records, if and even that's only a couple times a year.
