No Saturday Fight. Again!

[omard.]

I'm so upset with Voom not offering the fight this Saturday. I have Dish and Voom and I'm thinking of getting rid of Voom and sticking with Dish. I can't have a service that does not have ppv. All they tell me is that soon they will have it. How hard can it be to get ppv? It's just more money for them they don;t need to offer it for free. I just know the minute I cancel Voom they will get ppv and I will be stuck paying alot to get them back. God this sucks!

 

[Sean Mota]

Which fight are you talking about?

 

[slick1ru2]

Felix "Tito" Trinidad vs. Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga
Saturday, October 2, 2004. Live on HBO Pay-Per-View from Madison Square Garden

 

[omard.]

that would be it.

 

[cajun_100]

It would be nice to get this one!!! Dangit Voom!!!

 

[omard.]

i'm so torn. I don't like the fact that they don't have ppv but i know as soon as i cancel that they will get it. Damn.

 

[Bilodeaumj]

...but i know as soon as i cancel that they will get it. Damn.

Omard, no offense but if what you say is true take one for the team for gods sake and cancel immediately so we can get our PPV!!!

Nice try.

As much as I like a live fight, it is an HBO PPV event so you know it will be on next week. HBO has said that after the Jones Jr. fight, ALL fights will be in HD, you gotta love that!

Besides, there is a Klitschko fight on Showtime this Saturday, so you can get your fix.

It's not the Trinidad-Mayorga fight, but Showtime will have 3 good fights, Saturday Oct.2 and they will be in HD. Wladimir Klitschko (42-3,39 KOs) vs DaVarryl Williamson (20-2,17KOs)...Verno Phillips(38-8-1,20KOs) vs Kassim Ouma(19-1-1,13KOs)...Jeff Lacy(16-0,13KOs) vs Syd Vanderpool(35-2,23KOs)

 

[omard.]

I'm a die hard Trinidad Fan. I have all his fight and an autographed boxing glove. It just sucks that Voom can't get PPV.

 

[sixy]

It is too bad that they still haven't gotten PPV.

Assuming they do at some point, I'm hoping they'll let us order online in addition to other methods. I don't have my receiver hooked to a phone line, and I don't want to anytime in the near future.

 

[Sean Mota]

This maybe closer.. ***RUMOR TIME***: PPV will become available very soon and it won't be SD. It will be an HD channel.

 

[dankgus]

Is Mayorga the guy who lights up a cigarette after the fight? Eats fried chicken on the scale at the weigh in? Love that guy, if its him.

Thanks,

Ok this is like torture Sean.
Define Soon.
End of the month, end of the year, end of my time here on earth(I am not a young man, I hope this list is in chronological order)?

Feel free to lie, the evil cable company that promised a DVR on October 1st
now does not know when it might be introduced.

There are a lot of satellite TV haters out there. Yesterday I was talking about HD to a guy (who even has a HD set) and he is holding out for HD cable. He says our local provider will have it in January. Ha Ha, for years they have been saying "6 months to a year", "early 04", "early 05", there is no end to the lies. Same thing happened for cable internet, they said "within the year" for like 5 years. Its even sadder because when cable gets HD, there will probably be like 4 or 5 channels-they have got nothing on Voom. I say, why wait?

I am not hot on PPV, but I hope Voom has the sense to not lie. It is bad for their reputation. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yeah that's the guy.

 

[Sean Mota]

No lying guys. There are technical software issues with PPV that needs to be worked out and once those are resolved... Voila... you will have it... The other phase of it is that once it is up and running, fill it with HD content. So I think it will be in your receivers soon. Can't tell you time because I have not been told anytime.

 

[Dog6869]

I agree about the PPV I want to know will it have I-LINK (IEEE-1394) If it does NOT I am dropping VOOM FAST.............

 

[Sean Mota]

And who has IEE-1394 except for Comcast cable?? I think you are expecting too much since HDTIVO and 921 does not have firewire. You need to go cable if you want FIREWIRE that's reality.
