foxtel needs to pull their heads in and realise that not everyone can afford there package prices. And Im not going to a venue with alcohol to watch something that I should have every right to watch!!

He did what any reasonable person would do, streamed something he had paid for! He obviously didn't think 113k people would be watching it.***** Foxtel, they been Rorting us for years and is now full of adds.

(Numurkah, 2017-02-04)

foxtel should be more concern in providing quality service than leech and rob their clients!

(Rockingham , 2017-02-04)

#16

This guy is a true aussie legend and should get australian of the year

(Morwell , 2017-02-04)

Fuck letting the big dogs get rich, take from the rich and stream to the world

(Mackay, 2017-02-04)

#23

Darren is a legend and even if he didn't live feed it plenty of others did and actually streamed the main fight. Darren was respectful enough to do the right thing and stop once asked! Give the guy a break just because he reached 1.5k fans!!!!!

(Millers forest , 2017-02-04)

Darrens a*****en legend

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

Corporate greed on top of already corporate greed, disgusting and unnaceptable.

(Adelaide, 2017-02-04)

Aussie hero

(Perth, 2017-02-04)

#30

He wasn't recording it, he wasn't charging for it.. it's bullshit... Maybe if foxtel wasn't so expensive, more people would have it..

(Mount isa, 2017-02-04)

#32

FOXTEL are a rip off

(Coonamble, 2017-02-04)

#35

They are sooooo out of order...

(Adelaide , 2017-02-04)

#36

The foxtel product is a rip off throughout. Not to mention their draconian control of shows we can and can't watch elsewhere and some shows being entirely unattainable unless we sign up to their rip off.

(Melbourne, 2017-02-04)

#37

Foxtel have been ripping off customers for long enough. Paybacks a bitch

(Newcastle, 2017-02-04)

#38

Darren did nothing wrong in my eyes..$60 is too much for the subscription!!
Adds adds and more..foxtel suck for amount they charge monthly too!!

(Darwin, 2017-02-04)

#39

Because it's time to stand up to these bullies

(Mackay , 2017-02-04)

He is a Lord

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

#43

Not every one can afford foxtel and also not everyone can get down to the pub to watch it ... what about all the people at pubs around Australia that were watching that one big plasma TV !? Isn't that technically the same as Darren streaming it on face book the bloke bloody forked out $60 bucks to watch the event and was kind enough to use his own internet services to stream to the people who otherwise wouldn't have seen it ! In my books Darren is an absolute legend !

(Adelaide, 2017-02-04)

#45

I'm signing cuz Darren's a top bloke

(Townsville, 2017-02-04)

#47

if Foxtel wasnt so greedy they wouldnt have a problem.... Darren never expected this to attract as many viewers as it it did and the fact that so many jumped on it and the fact that he wasnt the only one streaming should tell Foxtel something .... are they going to track down and sue everyone else too?

(Sheffield, 2017-02-04)

#48

True Aussie,***** Foxtel the bunch of robbing dogs.
Darren simply was showing Australia his brand new TV he just purchased and a boxing match happen to be on in the background, this is not his fault.

(Wollongong, 2017-02-04)

#50

The treatment of danny the man who brought the ppl of australia the fight many of us couldnt afford thanks champ

(Perth, 2017-02-04)

#51

Darren is a champ keeping Australia honest he is

(Melbourne , 2017-02-04)

#55

Because it's not right for a big company to want to sue, he has paid for the membership, no different to a club

(Aberglasslyn , 2017-02-04)

#56

I believe what he did was fine

(Horsham, 2017-02-04)

#61

He is a champion

(Tamworth , 2017-02-04)

#63

FOXTEL lost so they should deal with it. In the business world if this happened they would just have to suck it up. Because he is just a little guy they think they can walk all over him.

(Sydney, 2017-02-04)

#65

Really why should any aussie have to pay to watch sports on tv

(Vic, 2017-02-04)

Fuck the big wigs

Foxtel are pricks and if they go ahead with court action, i will never subscribe to Foxtel as long as my arse points to the ground .

(Mareeba, 2017-02-04)

#83

Foxtel are cunts

(Adelaide, 2017-02-04)

#85

The ppl that watched probably wouldn't have watched it at all anyway so foxtel.lost nothing. I believe that in his opinion he would have only thought he had done wrong had he of made money... the copyright at the start im sure says you can't copy or sell... of which he did neither

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

#89

Some people can't afford to pay for it . he done a good thing

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

It's the Australian thing to do. Get In and support a fellow Australian when they need it.
"Are you sure you want to take on the average man FOXTEL. We will rise up and shoot you down.

(Alice Springs, 2017-02-04)

#103

Foxtel are just shitty cos they didn't get an extra 8million on top of the millions they already get for something that should be free

(Perth, 2017-02-04)

#106

Come on foxtel he didn't air the fight and if he did you guys are*****en money hungry I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years and what do we get out if it nothing but event a free main event.

(Kurri kurri, 2017-02-04)

#107

(Adelaide , 2017-02-04)

#111

Foxtel did not loose anything. This was streamed after the time people could actually pay for pay to view

(Wollongong, 2017-02-04)

#115

The Australian public a sick of the large corporate giants ******* us

(Sydney, 2017-02-04)

#116

Foxtel is ripping people all the time,plus you say live streaming iff Foxtel anywhere anytime,this is what he did,so technically ,there's a glitch

(Nsw, 2017-02-04)

#117

Their loophole, they should fix it.

(Bairnsdale, Victoria , 2017-02-04)

(Adelaide, 2017-02-04)

#133

Daz is a bloody legend

(Newcastle , 2017-02-04)

#135

I don't see any difference between him liv steaming the fight and inviting 90 odd thousand people into his home to view it. The only difference is, they found it about it through Facebook.

(Perth, 2017-02-04)

#137

His a national hero

(Sydney , 2017-02-04)

#138

Because u guys are a ripoff anyway and should of been $30 not $60. He paid for it so he should be able to do what he likes with it.***** you Foxtel.

(Gosford , 2017-02-04)

#139

#143

Foxtel have too much control and need to be stopped

(Mackay , 2017-02-04)

#146

He paid for the fight, what he does with what he pays for is his choice!

(Pakenham , 2017-02-04)

#147

The price of these pay per views are way too expensive for the average person

(Thornton , 2017-02-04)

#148

Its unfair and he shouldn't be punished for making thousands of people watch the fight he made there night he is a legend for having a great heart and thought of others that couldn't afford it

(Geraldton, 2017-02-04)

#150

(Gladstone, 2017-02-04)

#154

He was being a typical Aussie nice guy!

(Sydney , 2017-02-04)

#156

He paid for it if he decides to share it thats his right . Foxtel is basically saying only you can watch it if you invite your friends round they will try sue you

(Sydney, 2017-02-04)

#158

Foxtel murdoch money hungry dicks

(Surfers paradise, 2017-02-04)

#159

Aussie legends should be congratulated not condemned

(Cranebrook , 2017-02-04)

#162

Darren helped a*****load of cunts see the fight when they were not able to due to each persons reason and people who can not get stupid Foxtel

(Myrtleford , 2017-02-04)

#165

This is stupid because it was live stream

(Seymour, 2017-02-04)

#166

He has brought the show if he had 180k people at his home there would be no problem

(Liverpool, 2017-02-04)

#167

Foxtel is over rated and out dated

(Buderim , 2017-02-04)

(Central coast, 2017-02-04)

#172

(Sydney, 2017-02-04)

Darren stood up to corporate greed.

(Perth, 2017-02-04)

#174

Overpriced bullshit. That fight wasn't worth the money

(ROXBY DOWNS, 2017-02-04)

#177

(Melbourne, 2017-02-04)

#178

They have*****ed me around for too long.

(Mt Isa, 2017-02-04)

#180

It's disgraceful for foxtel to threaten legal action when darren was only trying to help less fortunate aussie view the fight!

(Adelaide, 2017-02-04)

#181

$ 60 was a rediculous price or a fight between to fighters way past their prime

(Burleigh heads , 2017-02-04)

#182

i think its a joke, foxtel is just a bunch on money hungry theiving bastards. they would have made more money if they didnt charge so much.

(dardanup, 2017-02-04)

#183

Back in the day, an important event like this with so much national interest would have been available to all on free to air TV. Now I know times have changed, but $59.99 Foxtel? Seriously? Like if it was $10 or even $20 I bet most fans would have happily paid for it. Great work Darren, I'll contribute to your legal if it comes to that.

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

#184

This match had more than monetary significance.

(Brisbane, 2017-02-04)

#185

Because this is just bullshit

(Deniliquin , 2017-02-04)

#191

It is unacceptable and unaustralian to prosecute this guy for he gave what the fans want. Foxtel nothing but greedy corporate

(Perth , 2017-02-04)

#192

Darren is a legend

(Toowoomba, 2017-02-04)

#194

Foxtel is ridiculous. They didn't lose money over it, the people that would have watched the live feed most likely had no intention of paying anyway

(perth, 2017-02-04)

#196

I'm signing because this man is a legend, he was only helping his fellow Aussies..

I'm not into sports nor did I watch the game, but if I did, there is no way I could afford $60 for a game to watch on foxtel.. $60!! Shame on you Foxtel

(Rockingham, 2017-02-04)

#197

No way should he get in trouble for what he did,Darren paid for the fight and what he does after that shouldn't be a problem
Foxtel are the thieves for charging $60 and I BTW I don't have foxtel,never have and never will
