    Outside of the US, UK and the Philippines, will the local TV stations show this fight for free or on PPV?

    Will the fight be even shown in your country outside of those three countries mentioned?

    in denmark television channels that you pay for on a monthly basis will usually show the fights. problem is that the main event is on around 5.30am and if i'm still up at that time after work then i'll off chasing tail and-or having drinks with my mates.

    You can also sleep early and wake up early to watch the fight. It is still different if you are watching the fight live compared to knowing the result of the fight before watching it.

    it's always better to watch the fight as its happening. anyone will say the same.

    i saw hopkins - taylor 2 'live' but i was pretty pissed at the time...

    i usually work weekends and even when i don't i can't hit the sack early. it's not me.

    We already got PPV cinema tickets for the fight.

    We bought 3 tickets. We have to be inside the theaters at around 8 or 9AM so that we can get to see the undercards too.

    That's nice. The monitor can't get bigger than those in the cinemas.

    i work in a call center here in the phils that hadnles directv accounts.. they usually the fight here live on ppv well its free since we are working for directv.. the best thing is that they will show it on all the tv we have here, they also set up big monitor screens, projectors for everyone to watch.. best thing is they provide free food buffet style and we can also bring our family.. so i dont really have to pay more 500.00 pesos just to watch the fight in the cinemas..

    You better start bar hopping and ask them if they will watch the fight on May 2.


    Do the Arabs also watch boxing? Do they know Manny Pacquiao?
