The New and Improved Boxing on TV thread!

Think tonights one is 16.95 , cant decide whether to get it or just listen to the radio

 

A bit pricey for me.

I wouldn't mind PPV if it was at a more comfortable £4.99-£9.99.

But where are Sky and BT getting off at charging £17-£20?

 

Totally agree, a tenner seems fair to me but id be prepared to pay a bit more for a stacked undercard, for 17 to 20 id be expecting to see the full undercard, quite often these shows only show you the last 4 or 5 fights, Sky used to do the red button access for the whole thing but im not sure thats an option now ?

 

UFC fight pass is much better value for money in that respect a fiver a month gets you loads of live events and the full back log of fights plus thier own shows.

Unfortunatley you need a subscription for the main card but thatll be switching to eleven sports soon, so id imagine fight nights will be included then the main shows like UFC 229 will be PPV.

Why isnt Hearn or Warren doing a fight pass style app featuring some of the smaller shows and international stuff, there missing a trick there !

 

I’m not very savvy when it comes to watching these fights online. I’m willing to pay for this ppv but I don’t have bt, Sky or virgin. I buy the day passes on now tv or purchase ppv from sky box office but I don’t have this option tonight. Gutted.

 

Can you still not buy it threw BT and watch online ?

 

Look into getting an IPTV.

 

Nah mate, that would be too easy for BT. You have to have BT sport to purchase the PPV online. It winds me up cos I don’t need to have Sky to watch their PPV’s.

 

Or a krypton 17.6.

 

Do you have to pay a subscription or can you pay a one off fee mate?

 

None except AJ and Usyk fights.

If I was in the UK I'd never pay for a US fight at 4am.

 

This will bomb as it should.
So not a PPV fight, 1 belt on the line?

 

This will come back to bite them. You simply can't put that many PPV's on. And now with the news that Mayweather might return to fight Pacquiao this year, they are really going to be bitten into bad if that happens (It probably won't though). There isn't the space to have all these PPV's in that space of time.

AJ-Povetkin, Wilder-Fury, Canelo-GGG. The rest just can't fit in and won't do numbers. I mean how on earth is Eddie getting away with doing Whyte-Chisora 2 on PPV!!! It's a disgrace.

 

That sucks !

I was wondering if BT just add it to your bill or you pay up front ?

Anyone know, just that i am skint beyond belief at the moment i buy the PPV im down to my last 30 bucks till i get paid lol

 

You can do both depending who provides it. It's usually aboit 6 quid a month or something like that.
