ATDHE.net down!

This may not be a MMA or Boxing issue exclusively. However, ATDHE.net has recently been seized by the ICE.

This site has been a favorite for many to watch the many MMA and boxing telecasts not available in their area. ICE has been shutting down streaming sites and torrent sites in a dramatic show of power against pirates.

What they may not know is that ATDHE didn't truly host any of these video sites instead it was just a linking website.

ATDHE, as illegal as it may be, was expanding the base of fight sport viewership. If boxing follows UFC's model using Spike TV to show fights for free, I expect a viewership and interest spike as well.

Still there are streaming sites out there and I am sure some other site will step in where ATDHE was and take it to even a higher level (HD streaming???).
