Are You Buying The Brook-Golovkin PPV?

[Oiky]

yes i'll be buying, yeah the fight is what it is and all that type of stuff but i'm not going to kid anyone and give it the i'm not buying it talk.

half that say that secretly buy anyway

I've never understood why people do that. Why pretend? Do people think refusal to by a PPV impresses anyone?

i think so yeah.

or its like "i'm too much of an elite and educated fan to buy what i believe is a joke" where in reality even if they don't buy it they are somewhere watching it the same as everybody else

[whiskey]

100% Yes

Curiosity killed the cat !

[Loftgroov]

Too bloody right I am... Yes.

[Boxerbeetle]

I reckon I will probably buy this on the night, but am fully prepared to be disappointed with my decision when Brook gets demolished within 3 rounds.

Is it still the case that Virgin doesn't offer PPVs in HD? Or has that changed now? Am switching over from Sky next week, super gutted that Box-nation doesn't have an HD option with Virgin.

[lefty]

Of course I will buy it

What cheap skate that loves boxing won't

Not many times we get to see a legend in london

When you're watching on TV, does it really matter where the fight is being held?

I was thinking that when I read the post

Sky were taking the piss with their prices, Virgin offered me a great deal which will save me loads, plus I get a free tablet. I don't watch much TV anyway these days, so it was a no-brainer for me.

Why did you regret moving?

And answer my question about Virgin PPV in HD

[Supremo]

Had planned to watch it in the casino but the old firm are playing at lunch time which means every Neanderthal in Scotland will be out drinking from early in the morning and the town will be verging on a war zone at night filled with drunken pollutions so will just buy the PPV to save me from having the interact with them.

I just felt like the viewing options on Virgin were sub-par. It just seemed a lower quality product. Virgin broadband I think is decent though.

[gilgamesh]

It's not on PPV in the States. So no

[Realistic]

Front row for me

[forcefraser]

ill be in cyprus at our new house. ive bought 2 new android boxes to take over there. One is an 'emish' one and the other is an 'inphic i7'

both are superb

all footie etc. boxing, films.......and i could go on and on

well worth a punt fellas, all the viewing is through kodi. even a numpty like me managed to set it up!! they come preloaded.

lets all go fishing.

Mate, sorry to go off topic, but how does those boxes actually work? don`t you need a uk ip address on your tv to watch uk content?

I bought an amazon firestick, but when I plug it in, it does`t let me watch uk content as the wifi to my tv is obviously Norwegian (I live in Norway)

Some one said i need to change the ip on my router, which is far beyond my capabilities.

How will you get that to work in Cyprus?

Can you really just plug the fella in, then start watching whatever you want, regardless of where you are based in the world? Is the speed fast or does it keep buffering all the time?

Virgin broadband is the best in the country, as far as I'm aware. Fully expecting a worse TV experience (especially losing Sky Atlantic which is pretty much the only channel I watch regularly other from Box-nation), but couldn't justify paying over the odds for Sky anymore.

These days I mainly just download box sets of TV for free anyway, and watch them from my hard drive on my TV, I have never missed getting rid of sky, I have a virgin TV package, but I don't actually watch mutch of it, but watch allegedly and BT sport to get my fix of boxing and MMA. I'm considering downgrading my TV package so long as it means I keep BT sport.

Virgin broadband is the fastest avsailabloe, so I'm obviously happy with that.

Yeah the broadband is top quality. I agree regarding Sky's prices though- they're ridiculously expensive. Like you I rarely watch TV these days bar watching boxing or mma. I'm far more reliant on having an Internet connection than a sky/cable television subscription.

yes its good mate. buffering occasionally but certainly not often. its not just good for sport, every channel in the world you could think of from bein sports to the cooking channel. plus more films than netflix ever dreamed of...plus boxsets............all the comedies from all the years.....rising damp, fawlty towers...plus numerous stand up shows...tv box sets..idiot abroad, the sweeney......everything.

Bust a nut in grandmas butt volume 3?

[coneye]

i don't think this is a pisstake , like say some of the AJ fights it is two world champs going at it ,, mis match some or rather most will say , but its definetly not a piss take .. Really s win win for Brooks . He gets the big fight he's been wanting , and if he pulls off the impossible he's the biggest drawcard in the world .

Unlike Saunders for example who really is destined to argue with the other clown on % of payment and a best out of three

A good post, and this in particular is neatly put

[dalcumly]

Why would anyone pay

1 a TV licence
2 a subscription to Sky
3 an additional subscription for Sky Sports

And then pay an additional fee to watch a 'one off' event like the boxing?

Are you mad ?
Do you not see what rich people are doing to you? You are being treated like a fool.
Can you imagine what would happen if the next Manchester derby was PPV?
There would be absolute mayhem in the press, and SKY would go into receivership overnight.
So why do they persist with PPV on the big boxing nights? Don't buy it, and it'll end.

[Wales]

I have an android box so get it for free. I'd buy it if I had standard sky though.

Under card is pants, but main event between two guys with combined 71-0 records for unified middleweight title is must see. Price of a few pints down the local

[Grilling Machine]

don`t you need a uk ip address on your tv to watch uk content?

There is geoblocking on stuff like iPlayer, but that's not what Rhino's watching...

I bought an amazon firestick, but when I plug it in, it does`t let me watch uk content as the wifi to my tv is obviously Norwegian (I live in Norway)

Your Fire Stick's one with the standard channels, whereas many have a program called Kodi added to their Sticks through a process known as sideloading (I just run Kodi on my laptop).

Some one said i need to change the ip on my router, which is far beyond my capabilities.

Not on your router - via a proxy online. VPNs and Smart DNS are the two to look up.

Can you really just plug the fella in, then start watching whatever you want, regardless of where you are based in the world? Is the speed fast or does it keep buffering all the time?

With Kodi you can. Buffering depends on your broadband speed and the source of your feed (how good its upload is, and how many viewers it has). My dad runs Kodi well enough on a tablet with a connection in the 18 Mb range. I should imagine anything over 10's enough. A lot of Kodi's free streams buffer a lot at busy times, but you can pay for high-quality streams.

I can't give details or links here because the channels we're alluding to aren't free ones, but Kodi's not too hard to get into once you've learnt your way around it. Kodi's perfectly legal, by the way, it's just what you choose to view with it that might not be. You can still get dodgy Sky boxes, but again, I can't say where. I can mention a site called Reddit.

[veriton]

im not going to buy it, it's a mismatch and brook will be done over quickly.

but i love watching golovkin and was excited to try and get a ticket for this fight just to say that i had seen him fight live. but when they were all gone in a few minutes then on resale sites soon after it all felt like a huge con job.

this is no better a fight for golovkin than the last few that have been on bocksnation or even the fight against murray on channel 5. if it was against canelo i would pay...as it is its going to be like esham pickering against mauricio martinez or paul lloyd against barrera.

why pay more for a terrible fight on tv? and the undercard is garbage too.
