Whyte's opponent for 22nd December announced tomorrow (1/11/18)

Can be done with a VPN but not legally in the UK. Same rule applies if you try to stream a Saturday 3pm football match from a foreign broadcaster.

 

Don't wanna be that guy but yeah sky seem to be doing pretty fine. They are not going away.

Quick history lesson.

ITV digital failed and collapsed
Setanta sports failed and collapsed
ESPN left the UK market
BT Sport losing its battle vs sky sports

Where do you see this wide range of sports platforms coming from?

There is just enough space for sky and BT. The idea that there is gonna be an influx of sports platforms is farcical.

 

Streaming is the future. That’s why you see DAZN with big backing, Amazon/Facebook over here circling over potential premier league rights too.

Doesn't surprise me at all...its going to be a quality night i cant wait. Got tickets for me and the misses, gonna pass it off as an early xmas present!

 

Feel sorry if Carl and josh fight goes a head can honestly see that doing terrible numbers

 

Streaming is the future and it is the beginning of the end for the Sky Dish.

Eleven Sports, Amazon etc are only starting with Sports Rights and will be big players soon along with others

 

All the tickets are on StubHub that's why

 

Frampton flopped on Sky PPV there is no way he does great numbers on BT

 

Come on Frank, no need to be bitter.

 

The UK Govt should step in and ban secondary ticketing websites.

Boxing fans and music fans etc should also stand firm and leave any touts with thousands of pieces of worthless paper.

After a year these parasite touts would give up and return to stealing knickers from washing lines for a living.

 

Fascinating if true.. question is what the hell is joe pleb uk doing now if he’s not glued to the #bestleagueintheworld 24/7??

 

I watched the football on beinsports yesterday so not sure. But was there much advertisement for Frampton or Wilder fights during the football on BT?

 

You can't ban it and why should they? It's a free market and the consumer has the power. The consumer can quote easily not buy tickets on the second hand market but if the demand is their why shouldn't there be one?

What's more important is trying to stop touts who manage to get hundreds of tickets.

 

Eleven sports reduced their price within two months. Clearly the demand for Spanish and Italian football isn't what they thought it was.
