Ufc.tv servers crashing already. Ridiculous, $100 and not even near the main event and they can't handle the load.

I'm shocked at how quiet the arena is. I naively thought that people would want to see the undercard. I'm sure the atmosphere in the bars and outside the arena is electric.

how do you order this fight if your service is through vodafone

Chris.

Have to say lads, I ordered a now tv box late last week for the sole purpose of watching this fight and I have to say the quality of the stream on the sky box office app is absolute quality so far, it hasn't missed a beat yet. It makes a show of ufc fight pass platform when you could order a ppv on it that is.

Even the fight thread is dead compared to a Conor UFC fight. I dont think this breaks any PPV records, people seem a tad disinterested a bit.

It'll pick up in about an hour people don't want to watch this embarrassment of an undercard. Regretting not setting the alarm for 4 bells myself tbh

Outlaw Pete

It's dead cause the undercard is not interesting........ sure the arena is still half empty too.

eagle eye

People are in bed with an alarm set for the fight, they don't want to sit through all the drivel that is the undercard for this fight.

icanmunch

The sky sports stream keeps freezing for me, same for anyone else?

spix

Boring fights so far probably cause so many TMT fighters they all try to be floyd running around the ring

I just want to buy a sky box now. Product manager by any chance?

Outlaw Pete

They should have had a mixed ppv card of UFC fights and boxing fights given the demographic tuning in for this.

Davis fight should be good at least.

Outlaw Pete

Jaysus, thought Conor Jnr. might have sat/slept this one out.

$100 for the PPV in the USA and Fight Pass has gone down.

The Sky Sports Box Office one has been flawless so far, but it is a bit of a worry.

I'm more worried about Dana's heart :pac:. He was already in ribbons before today.

You have to laugh at the talk about the fight being bad for boxing, the real thing that's bad for boxing is record people tuning in for a muck undercard with all these sh!theads wearing TMT.

MMA undercards are often bad on paper but end up delivering more often then than not.

Paully D

Nice to be able to doze off for a couple of hours and miss nothing of note, unlike an MMA PPV undercard.

A few people told me not to miss the Jack vs Cleverly fight. It is essentially Jack hitting a punching bag with legs so far.

Zzzzzzzzzz.

mdwexford

This confirms boxing is ****e.

Conor will put it out of its misery very very soon.

Ultimate Seduction

A bad boring MMA fight is as rare as a good exciting boxing match!

GreNoLi

McGregor to have a short kip before the fight, get a pep talk from Christopher Walken in a dream and then proceed to knock Floyd out in the 4th round.

Yes, Yes, and... Did I mention Yes?

Undercard fights should go the way of UFC. Less rounds. Make an impression rather than...
Punch hold punch
Punch Punch hold
Hold hold hold
Pun...
You get the point.

Paully D

The Sky Sports commentary is painful. Wish we could have the Showtime guys.

thewheel2.0

Thank Christ that ended early. Hopefully Davis lives up to all the hype and ends it early.

Surely a foregone conclusion considering the boxing community creaming themselves over him.

He's 1/33 to win. An embarrassing matchup that fits well with the rest of this undercard.

Boxing is **** lads.

Surprised they didn't release the last tickets to the hotel to give away too high rollers.

Main event is being delayed to deal with the PPV issues.
