Imagine the poor buggers (paying) if it ends in the 1st!! :shock:

I honestly do hope Mayweather gets dropped - great boxer, but money is everything and he is (or at least comes across as) a truly arrogant tw@t.

Pacquiao v Mayweather for me is a bit like Benn v Eubank - couldn't stand the latter for complete arrogance, but the former was a fighter rather than a boxer......

Anyways, I'm looking forward to it and hope I can get a stream - already pay out 40 odd quid a month for cable, so get a little pi$$y for additional "Pay Per View" charges....

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Going to Las Vegas that weekend. The normal place we stay, and get freebies, was fully booked. It was very difficult to get a room. If any of you have seen Vegas and all their hotels it's amazing that it can almost fill up

Christ, and I thought £20 through Sky was a bum deal.......

"The PPV price point officially has been set at $89.95 — the highest ever. And it’s up to the provider whether they want to bleed fans for another $10 to get hi-def. That $89.95 is 40% more than the previous PPV high-water mark of $64.95 for Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s fight against Canelo Alverez in September 2013 and the undefeated champ’s two subsequent bouts against Marcos Maidana. Bottom line: If you buy the fight, make sure your freeloader buddies bring more than an open bag of Doritos."

Just received an e-mail from 365 Sport. They will be showing it live on 3 separate channels from 3 separate providers to ensure unbroken coverage. Anybody who doesn't have 365 Sport can take advantage of their free trial for the fight.

I suspect 365 won't be available for free for this match - I've just received an email with this included

365 Sport
Dear --------------------

It is with great excitement to inform you that 365 Sport TV WILL be broadcasting the BIG fight next Sunday morning (Saturday night in Las Vegas).

This fight is ONLY available by using our software player for Windows or Mac and will be available on 3 separate channels from different suppliers to make sure no interruptions spoil this spectacle. More information on the channel numbers will follow at the end of the week.
