One beer for you pal, you are a modern revolutionary !

I'm not sure it's a long term thing. YouTube are ending this option before the end of the year.
Plus not everyone can get web or plug a device to watch it on the telly. I got a reasonably big HDTV and watching boxing on a laptop does not enthuse.
That may be the reason YouTube are scaling down this enterprise, due to poor sales.
Maybe in a few years it might take off...

I think it is worth a tenner. For people who are used to Netflix etc, watching on YouTube is hardly a challenging proposition.

I guess the issue is that anyone comfortable with online tv equally know how to view for free through other methods

I respect your opinion pal, but slightly disagree with plug a device comment, more and more people are starting to have smart TV's and can instantly pair just with their smartphones (as long as you have wifi) I think the Youtube-Boxing concept is fantastic BUT not for this fight the undercard is staler then the curry I ordered on Thursday

Yes but my telly doesn't.

Thanks for making an identical thread to the "So, who is buying the You Tube PPV this weekend then?" one. For me, forums are ruined by multiple threads on identical subjects but just worded differently or threads that could have just been a post in an existing one. Partly why CS is such carnage as you try to discuss something but have to post in a dozen threads to keep up

Imagine if Matchroom put this fight with this shit undercard on PPV. That would cause a revolution. But because this is useless Mick we should support it. Double standards.

Yes but that one has no poll. This type of thread needs an opinion poll.

Can we have a vote on that?

Sure, more polls the better. Although we did have something on this just recently with all the poll haters crawling out of the woodwork.

Why do people take Internet forums so seriously ?

I've actually got a Netflix button on my TV remote and I don't even have Netflix it's that commonplace.

YouTube for fights isn't the future. If it was such a great deal Mick would have had it announced from the get go rather than scrabbling around for a deal.

Fair play, I cocked up, I thought it did have a poll. Sorry guys.

Most simplest thing to do buy a google Chromecast £30 . Cast from your android phone to TV. Job done. I control everything from my android phone. Other options out there but I like Chromecast simple and no mucking about.

comical isn't it

The main event is not PPV worthy itself and the undercard is an absolute joke for a PPV.

I will not be buying it and I might not bother watching it either.

This really should be a ranking fight but cos there's so many belts in boxing, it's billed as a main event world heavyweight championship. Marketing bull shite

I'll watch it tomo probably but not live
