There must be a Wetherspoons somewhere near you.Frostieballs wrote: ↑12 May 2024, 14:29 Yes I will buy.
It’s a fight I’ve wanted to see for years.
£25 irks me - but it’s 3 pints where I live.
Given the scale of the event, I’d probably pay up to about £40.

Probably bump into the stepson trying to get drunk on the cheap with all of his mates!
Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
Build up is hardly making me change mind about buying. John Fury an embarrassment, Tyson limited to calling silent Usyk a rabbit and a sausage. No fans in sight. Face off was boring. Not much talk of how Tyson looked against Ngannou last time out.
It hasn't got a feel of being a big event. If it was Fury v Joshua at Wembley then I don't think I'd be able to sleep at this stage but I'm currently weirdly ambivalent about Saturday in Saudi.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
This may or may not be relevant to some, but
I see that TNT Box Office has disappeared off the Sky platform. I would rather stick it on my bill than pay on my card, so that means I’ll have to book via Skysports.
I’m pissed as I like Haye, Frampton and Bunce on punditry and now I’m stuck with that annoying skinny bird Wolhouse and Johnny Nelson

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
I always find it extremely difficult to pace a PPV properly, I either start drinking too late and hardly feel drunk by final bell, or I start too early and end up totally bollocksed halfway through the undercard. It's a bloody tightrope.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
I can't really get my head around this thread.
It is the biggest fight in decades. Loads of unknowns, plenty of beef and for all the heavyweight baubles!
£25 seems like a steal to me. It's the cost of two large cod and chips and a couple of cokes!

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
The one thing tipping me to buying it is fear of missing something special, plus the undercard is decent enough for a change on a PPVFrostieballs wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 12:43 I can't really get my head around this thread.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
When people say firestick what they really mean is an app that gets loaded on - usually IPTV which costs about £ 70 -100 per year for all sorts of channels inc sports .Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑16 May 2024, 07:59Can you 100% rely on it for big events?

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
For sure this is £25 worth. Pizza and lots of cans on hand for tomorrow.
Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
Can I watch? My Mrs is on nights, I'm work till 9pm but up early Sunday for golf. It all depends what time the fight starts, however, tell me more about the crotchless.PredatorHayds wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 11:21 Will get the firestick on, 4 bottles of red, a takeaway and a couple of bags in with the missus.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
Nothing on IPTV is 100% guaranteed. There's a chance the fight could buffer for most of the coverage, or the TV company throw a spanner in the works by using something new to encript or disrupt coverage.stevec@france wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 13:31When people say firestick what they really mean is an app that gets loaded on - usually IPTV which costs about £ 70 -100 per year for all sorts of channels inc sports .Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑16 May 2024, 07:59Can you 100% rely on it for big events?

I don't depend on my IPTV but it's never been a problem up to now.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
Not on Sky Box Office downunder, if it was, I would have paid.
And since DAZN don't show a lot of the boxing cards here either, they can suck my balls.

Re: Are you going to pay 25 quid for the fight?
Exactly. And principles go out the window when you want to see Fury get his arse handed to him so badly. This will only be the 2nd ppv I’ve bought since Froch Groves 2. I think….?Frostieballs wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 12:43 I can't really get my head around this thread.
