Sky have never made a fight like this PPV without a British PPV beforehand, thats what I've been saying all along....but some people were worried about it so I thought it was worth a mention.
Last time I stayed up to watch the Pac-Hatton fight on a stream and it got cut out just after the ring entrance. So i'm glad there are showing it on sky sports!
It's never sky that take the streams down, it's HBO. And they only tend to bother when its a PPV. Take last year, I was watching a sky stream of Hatton v Malignaggi, and it wasn't taken down-although it was PPV here it wasn't in the states. But for DLH v Pacquaio, I was also watching a sky stream. Got taken down cos the fight was PPV on HBO. They dfeinitely take them down off just1n, and I presume they do so off the other places like ustream and freedocast as well. I'd be very surprised if you had a stream from either sky or HBO, and it lasted till the main event.
:huhI wouldn't. There are plenty of websites about that stream legally using a loophole in the law that allows them to stream channel content via a Slingbox:deal.
Great news this and it has to be said this "season" domestically and with this and JMM/Mayweather Sky are certainly improving big style on recent times. I've knocked them a lot in the past but fair play to them.
But the vast, vast majority-I'm talking over 90% here- of people looking for streams of the fight, will go through a just1n one that gets closed down.
They seem to like waiting until 15 minutes before the fight is due to start before they start looking for a stream as well....
