Don’t Tell Anyone: Justin.tv Lets You Watch Pay-per-view Fights for Free

A little off the beaten path, but for novelty purposes only (I am, of course, going to turn it off before the fight starts), I did a little Googling for the Kelly Pavlik - Bernard Hopkins fight on October 18th.

Of course, I ran across Justin.tv. Many of us have heard about Justin.tv, which started out as an EDtv-like venture by Justin Kan. He attached a camera to his head so everybody could watch what he was doing from day to day.

But now, it is known better as a place where people can watch live streaming of various sporting events or international television shows free of charge. Instead of shelling out $50 for the Pavlik/Hopkins fight, a less scrupulous person than myself could flip on Justin.tv and watch it for free, albeit in much poorer quality.

However, the quality is a lot better than the old days when I remember watching Bowe/Holyfield through the scramble back in the old analog cable days.
