That is an interesting question. Surely they wouldn't get away with that, the quality wouldn't be too good.

I would have loved to see this at the cinema but I have plans for Saturday night.

I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, and will reserve judgment until after he has had his fight. I'm recording the SKY One show just now.

I just hope he doesn't get bowled over in a round. It wouldn't be the upset of the century if it happened. Barry McGuigan and his son would be stumped as to why they got involved in the first place.

Primetime it must be filmed in HD and down converted to SD for TV, I presume it is a HD feed I will be watching

Let you know on this thread sometime Sunday how good the picture quality was!

That would be great. Also let us know how you enjoyed the experience of watching boxing on the big screen.

Mikkel Kessler Vs. Brian Magee is on SKY Sports. A little dissapointed as I thought this would have been part of the TV deal Boxnation have with Sauerland.

Still no news on Arthur Abraham Vs. Mehdi Bouadla on the 15th December. This of course clashes with Frank Warrens show on the same night featuring Ricky Burns and George Groves.

I've sent a Tweet to Boxnation and an e-mail to Sauerland to see if they still have a content deal in place, and will we continue to see Sauerland shows on boxnation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience but obvious not the result

The cinema screen was a medium sized one at Cineworld Luton, about 25 people watched the fight, the streaming started at 9:30pm with build up for the big fight. The picture quality was surprisingly good and it was great to hear Ian Darke commentate on a fight again!

The only thing that annoyed me was the stream switched off abruptly a few minutes after the fight, not allowing us to hear the post fight interviews and summing up

Chad I would recommend seeing a big fight on the big screen as a one off, but with no undercard to view it is not value for money overall!

Thanks for the review Mhatter. I'm going to try and catch the next big one in the cinema. Sorry to hear you missed the post fight interviews, those where actually the most dramatic part of the night! Ricky was crying, almost sobbing, saying he's not a failure etc... The man clearly has demons, and last night didn't exorcise them.

In a separate matter, the guys from Sauerland in Germany replied to my e-mail this morning:

"We have in general a deal for all shows with Boxnation. The Kessler show was an exception. Abraham will be on Boxnation again."

That's good news as I was starting to think Boxnation and Sauerland no longer had a deal in place.

Pay per view TV channel Primetime has apologised after hundreds of customers were unable to watch Ricky Hatton's comeback fight after the channel suffered 'technical issues.'

premier sport have got adamek v cunningham

Noticed on my TiVo EPG and the ESPN website that ESPN are showing "Live Boxing" on the 14th December.

Whilst they don't confirm what fight will be shown, Lee Haskins is fighting over in Belgium that night in a European title fight. Alternatively Brian Rose is fighting Sam Webb for the British title on the same night also.

Looks like ESPN really are taking boxing seriously.

dave coldwell promotions are bringing out an app and will have a live stream on their site of their future shows and possibly any other shows from promotors who dont have a tv deal! hopefully steve wood uses this aswell!
