    Default need your opinion

    Hello gentleman. I need your assistance. I was already to get the fight this Saturday but after discussing finances with my wife I am going to have to make a concession. Since I took on an extra job I want to purchase a new watch ( I collect watches and have a Rolex, a movado, a 1940 US biblical and a few others. I need to decide over the fight or a new watch. I'm not talking Rolex this time, maybe a nice Seiko or something. What do you think, I could try to watch a free stream of the fight or catch it on the replay but being a pactard I've been thinking about this fight for weeks.

    Buy the fight. Delay the watch.
    Streams are well and good but if it's a fight you are really interested in then I'd just buy it.

    Is Tam's fight PPV then?

    Get the fight. In my experience, women like fights and enjoy watching their men folk watch boxing. Even on their birthdays, and in lieu of celebrations of said birthdays.
    The one true love of my life was born on 11/13 and, right after the Bowe/Holyfield fight in 1992 I took her to a nice place.(Her sister was tending bar and we got free drinks) We are still Facebook friends.
    Boxing comes first. Always.

    Yeah I say boxing first, but I'm biased because I'm not a fan of watches. Never wore them, never would.

    Not sure I have the time for this Let me check my watch. Oops I don't own one. Had a Timex when I was a kid. It was 9.99 waterproof and I wore it swimming all the way to my bronze cross. After that I never felt knowing the time all the time important. Life is to short a time to take a second job in order to by a watch.

    Buy the time piece. There will be a lot of links with different speed rates. Get yourself an HD video card and plug the pc into the TV. I'm assuming your tv has an HD plug. Just have another link ready as backup.

    Meh, it's just overpriced man jewelry. Everyone just looks at their iPhone now if they want to know what time it is.

    I refuse to buy an I phone, my phone doesn't even have the internet, but it does tell time.

    Will a HD card improve the picture quality?
    I stream a fair bit, have no problem with lagging, and hook my laptop up to the TV, but the picture quality is always a bit shaky. Hence I only stream fights I'm not hugely fussed about.

    I'm confused but that's been known to happen. Does she not want you spending money at all or just the $60+ for the fight? I'd look for a link and not pay a dime for this fight, but you already have more watches than you have wrists to wear them on as well. Grab some Chinese and a bottle of wine with the Mrs

    I don't seem to have issues but at times I try to find the best and switch feeds a fair bit. I don't get the same speeds as southern areas on this continent so some HD stuff really breaks up.I don't like to play with the telie resolution to much or it screws things up for normal viewing depending on
    the activity. It is hit and miss. I'm thinking on buying a cheap television just to use as a monitor for fights. The last ppv I bought was Hopkins/Tito
