Anyone know can I view this fight (Mayweather and Hatton) without having to pay a viewing fee? i.e A digital channel (not Sky however although worth the reply for others with Sky), a video stream on the internet?

Thanks guys!

Ive already asked and my topic got closed down mate so no lol
 
Strange it got closed down. I can't see it being a problem. Any other replies are welcome. In response to the German channel. Is this available on Virgin Media's Digital TV?

Thanks for the replies!

It is a problem, because free streaming is illegal, we don't allow such discussions.

I ordered it on VM earlier. go to the virgin on demand channel - not at the TV just now but think it is 108/109 somewhere round that number. Then just push the red button and choose live events.

It will be showing on channel 0 if you order it ;)

Why does everyone hate Khan so much, he's an extremely talented fighter and tonight took a step up in class and beat him in the first round, a superb result.

He is talented by my god doesn't he know it? He's such a cocky arrogant full of himself little ****.

Things like ignoring court summons for a speeding charge of 140mph just goes to show this attitude is prevalent through and through.
 
It comes with the territory, you show me one boxer who isn't arrogant and i'll show you a loser. Chris Eubank's, Nigel Benn, Prince Nasheem all were arrogant so and so's but you have to big yourself up.

It's hard to explain but when everyone hates him it's because it's different. Those guys were more like they were massively confident in themselves. Kahn is cocky.

It's like when you're out and about in town, you can meet people, some will be hugely confident of themselves but it comes across well, others are just cocky and unpleasant.

I hope he keeps going and improving, getting a world title shot sometime in 2009.

Judging by a the general undercurrent around here, i'd say it's probably because he's muslim ?

As for him being cocky, well why shouldn't he be? From a boxers point of view, you not only have to think you're better than everyone else, you have to know you are.There's being cocky and being disrespectful, which I don't think he is, he's still got a point to prove before he can claim to be one of the greatest yeah, thats a given, but he's on the way up.

Had the same argument with someone earlier, regarding Mayweather being too cocky, well if it puts the ***** up your opponent, then surely it's worth while doing. If you can make your opponent lose his rag then it's job done from a boxing point of view.

Edit : Having said that, the fight was a bit of a let down to me. Ok it was a convincing win, but it would have been good for him to go a few rounds atleast. I actually though he might have lost this fight before hand as he has made some mistakes in the past, which i thought he would have been punished for today.

I don't think he is that cocky at all. Sure he is confident but there is also some humility there too...

He is pretty good also but he isn't anywhere near as good as Nas was when he was that age.
 
I have never found him very cocky at all he has been quite humble in interviews I've seen and he is never disrespectful to his opponents.

Self belief is a massive part of having the right mindset to win.
 
i love kahn, great fighter, the reason he's cocky, in my opinion he's young, very young, and he isnt the most intelligent of people (out of ring) if i was that good at 21, or even if i was a proffesional boxer, tbh i would be big headed!!! go through all world class sportsmen who are 21 and under, who arnt big headed? they all are, give it a phew more years if he carrys on that when hell learn
