Does anybody know how you watch this online?
I already have a subscription via virgin, but looks to me, like i have to pay to subscribe again to watch online.

Yeah you need to pay again mate. It's a pain in the tits! I've been a customer from day one and when I was working down in Surrey I'd tried to see if I could watch online but I ended up having to open an online account and pay another fuckin registration fee.
Unless you can stream of course?

Is there a particular reason you want to watch it online?

That's pretty ludicrous.
I'm fucked if I'm paying a double subscription to watch the fight.

It was having to pay another registration fee that fukked me off. I phoned them at the time to see if they could help but they were about as much use as a chocolate tea pot!

Think so mate. That was certainly the case at that time. That was about three years ago now so maybe they've sorted it now. I had already paid a regi fee for as I was with Sky at the time and phoned them to explain this but they were fuckin hopeless and I ended up having to fork out again. I was down there for the best part of a year though so it was worth it in the end. I wouldn't do it for one fight though.

I have a horrible feeling too, that it will block me from watching it from Spain as well.

Yes, however, a lot of these things are IP sensitive, and won't allow you to access them away from your home country. Partly this is because they have different deals with content providers depending on country of origin.
I can't imagine for a second everything will work seamlessly.

I travel a lot, and it does annoy me that I can't just watch the TV/subscriptions that I pay for without a VPN. I use TunnelBear, there are probably better ones out there, but for a small fee, it's never let me down.
In the past, I've had mates put their IPad in front of the TV and we've Facetimed. Not the most sophisticated.....

I'll give it a go, just bough an amazonfire 8 HD tablet, as I need something a bit less bulky for when I'm travelling anyway. I'll look up tunnel bear.

Let's see what Jacobs has learned from his clash with the outstanding Russian talent Dmitry Pirog, who took him apart in five.

I'm n two minds! On one hand I'm of the same opinion as yourself! Best two in the division by far. Fancy Jacobs to give it a real go. He's ballsy, has great skills, speed and real power but then I think GGG will just walk through him standard lol. No denying it's a good fight though
You off on holiday or business James?

Lomachenko kind of reminds me of Pirog.

Blistering match up between the 2 best middleweights in the world. Let's stop hearing this constant bollocks about the best not fighting the best
Not to be missed, I hope the fight delivers (with so much on the line) and massive respect to both guys for stepping up and rewarding the real boxing fans.
