Is the Olympia Live Stream Worth Paying For?
« on: December 17, 2022, 03:41:47 PM »
Took a 10mg Melatonin at 4:45am, but didn't go to bed until 8am, and woke up at 6:16pm.

Thanks to Getbig legend Kwon, I just found the UFC has a fight tonight.

Is the UFC worth paying the $70 CAD or whatever it costs? I don't want to pay for a freezing stream.

Is anyone here watching it? If yes, is it worth buying? I don't mind paying if it's a quality product. But joswift pointing out the press conference being done without tables and chairs this year show may have declined in budget.

Matt PM me and I'll send you a link to watch my live stream of the show for free.

Also CC Prime in and us 3 can have a conference call discussing the show whilst watching the stream. Sound good?

You can get it on YouTube. Or maybe a soccer site is carrying it tape-delayed.

PM sent.

I don't mind paying, but if it is blurry...then screw it.

I paid $98 CAD twice over for the May-Gregor fight, and both froze. I had to stream it in the end.  ::)

Should be mens posing routines first and then final callouts/places last.

What time is the Men's Open expected to start and end (Vegas time)?  Anyone going to be live-blogging/threading?

I'm wondering that too.

I read a thread on Reddit that said the Mr. Olympia promotion dedicated an entire team to taking down streaming links.

I don't mind paying, but not if it's already halfway through, on top of being blurry or with buffering issues.

It's 7:37pm in Las Vegas, and 10:37pm here in Eastern time.

Will I miss much if I buy it now?

If I buy the 2022 Olympia stream package, does it come with replays?

They have done a horrible job advertising the stream.

Have any Getbiggers purchased this? Can you watch it all, including yesterday's coverage, or must it be viewed live?

worth paying for this year?  hell no the lineup sucks they are all soft and structurally flawed

i remember paying $25 for the 2002 olympia, only gunther was at his best the rest were either past their prime or not quite in their prime, but they all still looked good even a "natural" flex wheeler

To be far, I don't think anyone cared much, outside of some Middle Easterners, and some Brazilians. None of the usual places that cover boxing, MMA, etc..... offered it this year, and most did previous.

Little schmoe / gay interest on Twitter.

Universal hatred of the stream quality from people that did buy it.

I just dial the Olympia Hotline the morning after.

It’s, like, $2.99, or something.
