De La Hoya vs. Mayweather LIVE THREAD May 5th, 2007

[Vision]

Pay per view starts at 9pm. This is the fight of the year.

Mayweather is probably the best fighter in boxing right now. It will be great to see how Oscar shows up for this; it may determine the rest of his career.

Right now tradebetx has it to win:

Mayweather -199
Hoya +170

I want you internet streamers to know how lucky you are. In 15 years of watching boxing, I’ve never see a free link like this. Enjoy!

[Mr. Mulliner]

Thanks. I can’t get the net feed to work, but I’ll keep trying.

Meanwhile, I’ll be satisfied with pics and reports from those watching :D

What’s the problem? IE works fine.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Oh, I was using Mozilla. Let me try this on IE. Thanks.

I’m back now; Thought I heard gunfire outside, had to call the cops and freak out for a few minutes. 0.0
All seems quiet, though I’ve missed most of this fight.

[JoeSixPack1]

Thanks, in 45 years of following this junk, this is the smallest screen I ever watched a fight on! LOL!

(Full screen is available, but ....)

Mozilla

Stop being a geek and get with it man(:

[JoeSixPack1]

I’m using Firefox. No probs

[hole_n_one]

Firefox would not allow it to load for me.

I had to download a WMP extension when I tried it with IE before it would work.

[JoeSixPack1]

Gunfire?? Oh don’t leave us dangling....

[Mr. Mulliner]

My prospects aren’t great. I’m using dialup. Until I spend $400 for satellite, that’s my only option. :(

[Vision]

Please don’t ruin my illusion that Texas is the promise land..lol.

Keep yourself safe and watch this fight!

[JoeSixPack1]

I wish I could help. I have every protection known to man turned on, added, and backgrounded, and this worked first shot.

Ver 1.5.0.11

Maybe it’s a codec prob?

[hole_n_one]

It's cool.

I was able to get it to work with IE, so it's all good!

[LongElegantLegs]

Well, there’s lights and sirens at the apartment complex next to mine...Might have been nothing, might have been something; I guess I’ll know if they come knock at my door and ask for a statement.

I suppose it’s possible it was fireworks; today is Cinco De Mayo. I know what automatic gunfire sounds like, though, and I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard.

[JoeSixPack1]

Just in time for the preamble! :-)

Apparently IE is not working on the mac. What is?
