How to watch nba online free streaming

May 4, 2009 By dragon 1 Comment

Playoffs time once again, and we can't afford to stay home and watch NBA.  Much to bosses' dismay, there are several ways lowly workers like us could watch basketball discreetly while still managing to get the work done.

As with my popular how to watch boxing ppv free article, the most reliable way would still be the use of sopcast.  Since it is free, don't expect any 720p or HD resolutions.  The pixels are manageable and the stream quality tolerable if your internet connection is decent.

download Sopcast and TVU. Both of these are free Peer to Peer or P2P software used to watch live TV. Some channels are of semi-permanent to fly by night once-event channels, so the hardest part is finding channel that has a decent bandwidth to spare.  Read more...

Pacquiao demolishes Hatton in second round

May 3, 2009 By dragon Leave a Comment

Filipino pride southpaw Manny Pacquiao puts Ricky Hatton to sleep in the second round, taking a historic win with a devastating left to the chin that sent the Englishman to hospital.

Hatton came out all guns blazing in the first round but was floored twice by the Filipino southpaw and looked to be in big trouble before the bell went.

The second round saw Pacquiao connect with a huge left hook that completely poleaxed the Mancunian and ended proceedings without the need for a count.

Referee Kenny Bayless knelt over the apparently dazed and confused and sleeping Hatton and halted the fight after two minutes and 59 seconds of the second round, giving the Filipino star a victory and the International Boxing Organization junior welterweight title.   Read more...

(author's update. The process discussed in this article may also be used to watch the Mayweather versus Marquez fight this September 19, 2009, and the upcoming Miguel Cotto versus Pacquiao this November 14,2009)

Last December 7, 2009, we edited this article from its original "Pacquaio vs. Marquez" title, as it was also applicable to pacman versus golden boy's fight.  Today, one year after the original article, we once again re-label and re-edit the article to fit the upcoming Pacquiao versus Hatton fight for May 2, 2009.

As with Oscar De La Hoya's fight arrangement disagreement over the purse split, (De La Hoya wanted 70-30, Pacquiao wanted 40), the Pacquiao Hatton fight almost did not push through with a similar disagreement over the purse.  Both parties stressed that each had the bigger crowd draw from their home country, thus each demanding a bigger cut from the PPV.  Read more...
