Top Rank will again offer an online pay-per-view option at TopRank.TV for this Saturday's fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, with a cost of $59.95.
Top Rank TV has been recently revamped a bit, hopefully improving a service that was already ahead of the curve in boxing. Top Rank is currently the only major promoter that offers an online pay-per-view option, something that one figures will become more readily available in the future from all promoters, as advertising shifts more to the digital platform and gets away from more traditional media outlets.
The online stream will start with the pre-PPV undercard and preview show, and then go into the normal PPV broadcast at 9 pm EST, same as the TV option from HBO pay-per-view, but with Top Rank commentary.
I've actually never ordered the online pay-per-view, so I can't vouch for the quality or anything. Has anyone used the service in the past? What was your experience?
