Mayweather-Pacquiao prizefight delayed amid high TV demand (The Associated Press)
Jim Lampley, the main telecaster for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao showdown in Las Vegas told viewers Saturday night that ”electronic overload” caused cable and satellite operators to ask for a delay. Customer service Twitter accounts for Dish Network and Cox Communications asked users whether they ordered standard definition or high definition feeds of the fight, indicating there may be issues with the standard definition feed. ”We’re seeing and gracefully managing a lot of demand – which is a good thing,” Dish Network spokesman Bob Toevs said.
