The clip that goes round is the one that froze.
Fight sport is the least forgiving thing to stream. The action does not wait, there is no second take, and if the picture stutters on a knockdown that is the clip that circulates instead of the one you wanted. Where fans have paid, it becomes a refund conversation as well as a reputation one.
So we build it as a broadcast rather than a recording. Ringside positions that keep the action readable, a second angle for replays, a roving camera for walk-ons and corners, and a director cutting it live.
The other half is the platform. Access control, stream keys and the paid feed get proven days ahead, because nobody should be setting up a pay per view event an hour before the first bell.
What the card needs
Built for the corner, not the crowd.
Questions we get asked.
Can you run the show as pay per view?
Yes. We deliver to ticketed platforms so fans pay to watch, and we can push a free feed to social at the same time to sell the next card. Access control and stream keys are set up with you before the day.
How many cameras does a fight night need?
Three to four covers most cards: a wide ringside or cage-side shot, a tight camera for the action, a second angle for replays, and a roving camera for walk-ons, corners and crowd. More only helps if there is someone cutting them.
What if the venue internet cannot take it?
We test it. Where a venue has a dedicated tested line we will use it. What we will not do is put a paid broadcast on shared guest WiFi, so bonded 4G and 5G plus Starlink travel with us to every job.
Do you handle commentary?
Yes, with talkback to the director and mixed as its own track. To be clear this is broadcast audio. We do not supply the PA in the room.
Can small hall shows afford it?
Often, because the production scales. A regional card at a leisure centre does not need the camera count or crew of an arena show, and we quote what the event needs rather than a package.
Do we get the full fight recording?
Yes. A programme record comes as standard. Where the footage has to survive a problem with the live stream, we quote a separate recording path.
When is a cheaper option right?
If a single fixed camera on a free feed does the job, or nobody is paying to watch, a crewed broadcast is more than the night needs. We will say so rather than quote for it.
Card in the diary?
Tell us the date, the venue and whether it is ticketed, and you will know what we would bring and what it costs.
