They say if you dont view they wont charge the £12.95 so would only potentially lose £2.50. If that happens I want my £2.50 back. Still worried money is going to appear on my sky bill when I ok this on the night!!!!
In the same boat. Have just fired off an e-mail to them to get confirmation that my purchase has definitely registered. Got a mail back asking for my viewing card no. Replied again and will see what they come back with. Main interest is purely in ensuring that I am definitely going to see the fight and that I'm not charging about like a mad man trying to sort it out tomorrow night.
OK, got a prompt reply, our ever present friend Adam is still on duty :lol:

"It is active and ready to go

Thanks
Adam"

Sounds promising. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It gets f*cking worse with these people - got evidence on my online banking that I have paid for the event - yet I have just received an email to state I definitely do not have the event booked!!!

They asked me for my details again - they can f*ck off!!!

Unreliable and very poor quality, 99% of the time. For the past 2 years I've been using streams for a lot of the US fights. I did use a paid website, StreamTVNow, but they closed down and opened up shop using a different name, swallowing my money.
£3 a month if memory serves. Used them a lot a few years back. Initially a bit of mine field but they worked out okay in the end. Could do with them back on tonight. Some times their streams were $hit but on the whole they were worth it. Especially at that price. Sadly I'm on Virgin and Mick Hennessy is promoting this. :roll:

It's so ridiculous. I would pay the £15 happily to sit and watch this in the comfort of my own home but don't even have the option. Hennessy has made such a balls up of Froch's TV contracts since he won the world title it's unreal. Not surprisingly we got the same blackout by and large for Clinton Woods when he fought in the states the last two times. For once I actually want a fighter to be with Uncle Frank. Never thought I'd say that. But just read all the stuff above. Even if you do have Sky you don't know whether you'll get it or not. It's such a farce. Total back street operation.:witzend:

I got an email from Adam last night stating it was ready to go and just to press select twice to get it. Just have to pray this will work via my phone socket and current setup as I havent had a box office since I moved etc so no idea if this will work!

Well I've tried the website 5 times with 2 different credit cards and keep getting the same BS MSG about something wrong with the cards. Have emailed support, but no reply. Absolute shambles.
Whomever is responsible for the website build and test should be banned from computers for life and Meaty Mick needs a good kicking for failing to do his farkin job. Fark me I pissed off with this!!

I registered online last night but received no confirmation email. I emailed Adam who told me the confirmation was on the screen at the end of the registration process. If he meant online then I did see a screen like that, but there was no reference number which is a bit disconcerting. If I am unable to view it I will not be happy and certainly will demand my registration fee back as well as the PPV fee.

He's Mick's nephew apparently. It's a family thing. Poor bugger just happened to mention he was good with computer's and was free Saturday and next thing Mick's left him plugged into a 2001 Compaq and wrapped 5 head set's round his neck. Minimum wage aswell and he has to be out of the building by 9. God bless that man! :bow:

I've purchased the online stream. This is what it looks like in full screen: http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/2/10 ... f5528c.jpg

I think it will be decent. Have to wait and see, though.

Completely agreed - my greviences with this bunch of clowns is well documented on the other threads - but this is another excuse to have another pop!!!

Not only do you know whether your booking is confirmed unless you beg to be told!!!

You give private/confidential details with no guarentees they are secure!!!

****s!!!
