    I think these fights in Saudi are a bit fixed by the promoters. Imho.

    I think Ball should have beaten Vargas tho I think first knock down shouldn’t have counted.

    Can’t believe anybody doesn’t have IPTV now….though a friend says it may be infuriating, apart from. 3.00 sat matches ;):thumbsup:

    I was going to ask the same question! If its some dodgy free way to avoid paying Sky enormous amounts of money every month just so I can watch us lose at cricket, then count me in!
    I shall google......


    EDIT: I'm none the wiser! Words like Internet Protocol Television swam around the PC monitor and jumbled themselves up with firesticks and networks and streaming and all things that made me realise I really need a more smart TV than the one I've got!

  15. I suppose the idea of the sport is about not getting hit,
    But when those big guys do make contact it must be like being smashed in the head and face by a sledgehammer …not for me o_O

    As long as the betting companies are getting their share.

    It’s why team sports like football and rugby are getting analysed to death during the game….so that betting companies are covered….the average fan knows you win some you lose some on decisions.

    Its also why they love nonsense like the Jake Paul v Tyson match….no drug testing, out in Saudi, hundreds of millions in pay per view and betting.

    Tyson even at 58 would ***** him into next week but no doubt it’ll be a three match fixed contest where he’ll incredibly lose at least once.

    I can't see the enjoyment in two people trying to cause irrepairable brain damage to each other.
    Maybe it's because I'm a Guardian reader. :thinking:
