Mayweather / Pacquiao Fight

[Graudian]

I can't afford the £20 Sky is charging to watch this fight live
next Sunday morning.

Will I be able to view a recording of the encounter either on
catch up or some other means?

[Svejk]

I haven't got an answer for you, I'm afraid. But what a fight in prospect.

[Graudian]

We all hope so.

Sometimes these blockbusters are a disappointment.

I am sure it will be available somewhere - maybe Youtube. I will probably stay up with a few snacks and some choice drinks then watch it online in the early hours.

Looks like you could watch it for free on Periscope or Meerkat !.

[Graudian]

Thanks tonyav.

I'm not sure if my limited knowledge of technology will extend
to Periscope & Meerkat!

[Sipowicz]

What is the earliest time this fight could be on?

[tonyav]

I believe they are app's that you can put on your iphone, Graudian.

[Graudian]

Between 3 & 4 AM UK time

[mastercraft]

Nice link Tony, will be checking that out on Sat.

[Sipowicz]

Thank you.

Watching via an app on a mobile phone would not be as good as a larger picture on pc or laptop.

[tonyav]

Hope it works, mastercraft.

Sir, lucky for me... I can transport from my Samsung phone to my Samsung TV.

[Graudian]

Thanks sir.prize

It's a pity that I am limited to one 'best answer'!

[mastercraft]

Mayweather wins... due to stoppage or on points... no knock out!

[Graudian]

Mastercraft I'm also leaning towards Mayweather but I'm wondering
if at 38 his legs may be gone.

If only they had got it on 5 years ago when they were at their peaks.

Forget the age, Pacquiao is 36 and has been in far tougher fights. I agree the fight is 5 years too late. Mayweather just like Sugar Ray Leonard picks his fights very carefully, he didn't want Pacquiao 5 years ago.

Just another possible alternative for you:

I've just come back from my regular Sunday night visit to the pub. Getting there takes me past the local (Ipswich) Riley's Sports Bar, which is open 24 hours. I noticed a sign outside, advertising that they'll be showing the Mayweather v Pacquiao fight.

So, if there's a Riley's close to you, you could join online (for free) and then watch the fight there (assuming, of course, that all Riley's bars will be showing the fight - phone to check).

Blimey Buenchico, the pubs shut early around your way!?
