    Did you order before today ?

    I'm not sure if the technically difficulties affect only those trying to order, or everyone, could be a disaster if it affects everyone whether they ordered or not !

    Might be worth ringing and finding out

    Go to the pub and watch it brother! I was going to order it but figured I could use PPV funds to buy beer and experience a bit of atmosphere. Whatever happens, I just hope foxtel doesnt **** up your chance of seeing Calzaghe's hand raised in victory :deal

    I've been trying to order for the last two days and the stupid pricks can't get it right. Have they moved their opperations to India?

    I've seen monkeys on crack do a better job.

    They also ****ed me during the Klitschko v Ibragimov fight, missing the undercards and first two rounds. I bitched so hard I got the next month free...which was good because the fight was ****ed.

    JUST CALLED THEM AT 11:37pm and they're still no good.

    OPERATORS WILL BE THERE FROM 7:00am Sunday morning.

    The problem with clubs and pubs is you always get the "expert" that was going to be a world champion until his balls became pimples via steroids....talking **** and wanting to bang on under an alcohol fueled badge of courage.

    You either have to put up with it or take the **** down, the second option sees you kicked out or knocked out. Either way you miss the fight.

    I like watching it at home with the wife and kids banished to the in-laws (I don't even have to ask, they just go.) That way I can be the know it all/shoula been world champ/talk'n **** loud mouth and enjoy it all the same just meters away from my friendly refridgerator.

    Put on it on the system and the neighbours hear it for free!!! :bbb

    Haha yeah fair enough, the lot down at my local have proved to be alright in the past though so it should be fine but I know where you're coming from..

    Have you guys tried ordering it on your tv? Pretty sure you can order it using your remote if you have fox digital?

    I've never had any problem except during Mayweather - Hatton (rang them had a whinge and they gave me Mundine - Clavero for free), although apparently during the Adamek - Briggs II, Casamayor - Chico double header some on here had problems with the transmission, I didn't but I rang and told them I did anyway and I got the PPV for free.:yep

    For that event i went to Bathurst that weekend and taped the event, when i came back i saw i did not tape it all, but during the Chico fight Foxtel stopped showing it.
    I rang up but the C$%ts said since the earlier fights worked they wont refund it just give $10 credit:fire

    I don't want to goto the pub, i want to watch at home. You can't lounge around in your undies at the pub. Plus if you want to order it on PPV at home, you should be able to !
