    It is not PPV in Bulgaria but one has to pay a monthly fee for the TV channel that will show it live. It is a part of a package of channels.

    I don't think so..what i've heard is typical arabs are prohibited to fight, they prefer slapping instead of punching when fighting each other

    sounds gay..i know!

    You better hope that Nadal becomes a professional boxer. Among the tennis players, I think Nadal has the best chance to succeed as a boxer.

    :good thats awesome id love it if they did that over here in UK. It would mean having the cinemas open all night, and everone would be steaming - it would be a riot. No cinema owner would want to take the chance on that

    It's basically the same thing as sitting in one place staring down at the ring. You certainly will get a better atmosphere watching in a theater filled with 500 crazy Pacquiao fans than watching at home.

    I think watching the fight in the cinema is the opposite of boring. They are not watching a love story and hence I don't think there are security guards in there telling you to keep quiet. On the contrary, it will be riot in there.

    Yes they know a bit of boxing, Lebanese, Indians and some more Middle Eastern country goes to the bar here in Dubai, UAE to watch the live viewing with other pinoys.

    I also bet against my arab friends every Pacquiao fights, but this time they're not betting against me anymore. They don't want to lose anymore money as they said.

    Theres like 70+ bars and restaurants here that shows live PPV.

    And every Pacquiao fights are even in the MAIN NEWSPAPER here. Also it shown in their daily night news about the Dream Match and now the Pacquiao - Hatton. Theres also commercial in local channels about the bout.

    one video I can find... (too lazy to find them all)

    Dude if you are watching a Pac Fight in the Philippines... Nobody's sitting down...

    And you have a hundred or so crazed fans screaming in your ear.

    I remember I watched with my boxing trainer at Elorde and I thought the old guy would be having a heart attack just screaming at the screen.
