I Wanna Watch Canelo vs GGG...

Post by TheGingerBomber »

But honestly, I can't understand how to purchase it. I have BT internet and BT TV, does anyone know how I should go about this?

Don't know if this makes things any clearer:

http://sport.bt.com/boxing/how-to-watch ... 4210067434

I'm still confused.

"BT TV customers will be able to watch the Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez v Gennady Golovkin pay-per-view super-fight for free.

The contest, which sees two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world go head-to-head in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday, September 17, is being broadcast by B0xNati0n Box Office in the United Kingdom.

However, the fight will be available on B0xNati0n (channel 415) to BT TV customers at no extra cost."

Does that mean BT TV customers get it regardless of whether they have BT Sports or not?

Probably best to contact BT directly via Twitter or Facebook.

If u pay for BN through a direct sub to them then your sorted. If not, it's the usual way to PPV simple really

An additional point - the PPV package if you want the Saunders fight as well is £30.

I am led to believe that if you have BT TV and BT Sports then it is also PPV-free? That's how I interpret what the website says anyway (what Chad has posted above).

No, you have to be subscriber to BN (i.e. paying the £12 Per month to get the PPV. You will get the Saunders card on BT though

According to http://www.allegedly.com/hd/:

When you click 'Canelo v Golovkin' on the top banner, you are told: 'The Billy Joe Saunders v Willie Monroe Jr event is not included in the £16.95 PPV purchase and is available only to allegedly subscribers in SD on Sky channel 437 from 7pm.'

So if I'm a customer without BN who wants to watch the big fight and Saunders I have to buy a weekend fight past which costs thirty quid.

I don't think that's very good value to be honest. I was hoping the deal for the PPV would feature both - a bit like when Sky had a PPV which had that pathetic Khan Fagan/Enzo Ellis/Audley Rogan card on but you got De La Hoya Pacquaio as well. (Although the whole planning of that was strange in that the domestic card coincided with free to air Froch Pascal.)

You can do, but doesn't that involve the subscription fee for PPV and the installation charge?

(I have BN by the way, just comparing prices for these things.) In related news I think an issue here is ease of access and how many deals are on the table. You are absolutely fine to say twenty quid for Joshua or a tenner for Hughie is a rip off, but ultimately they do seem easy to buy. Subscribing to BN is easy enough but if you've been attracted as a customer by Canelo GGG it does seem a bit all over the place.

Also, don't some packages (not sure which) not allow you to record?

I'm surprised there's anyone on this forum who doesn't already subscribe to B0xNati0n tbh.

Really? I think quite a few will stream fights. The overall quality has slipped a bit in my opinion, but a lot of that has been based on domestic issues. Fury not fighting for two years, Hughie being off the radar, Saunders going backwards. It's hard to sell a channel when your biggest ticket is Terry Flanagan.
