OT - How are you watching mayweather vs mcgregor?
Hey everyone,
just sneaking this in before 11:59 :) Who plans to watch the fight and how are you watching?
$99 is pretty steep, and I am considering VPNing to canada and getting it for cheaper there (according to this site at least)
Anyone else have thoughts on doing so? Anyone have any VPNs they would suggest?
Note: $12 in canada on that site
UPDATE ----
I ended up getting this VPN for 6.95 (will cancel it tomorrow):
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/
Then i installed their software and selected to connect to their server in france. Opened my browner went to this link:
Got the fight for 29 euros. I imagine the stream quality will be better and more reliable than streaming illegally, so went this route. Well find out what language options I have tonight I guess.
When I watch the fight I will first try to NOT be VPN'd in and see if they will let me log into the US website. At this time I am able to login to the US website too, and the videos are all in english.
Just thought I would let anyone know who might be somewhat interested in watching, but not enough to dish out $99
Note: I also dont care about the fight, but it seems like a fun thing to watch.

I'm not watching it. Mayweather will kick that UFC dude's ass in the dullest imaginable fashion. UFC dude won't touch him and Mayweather will remain in a defensive shell and jab, jab, jab his way to victory. Add to that the fact that they are both awful, terrible human beings and the true losers of that fight will be all the poor folks who paid money to see it.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
I'm not wasting my money watching something that has a slightly higher credibility than WWE
August 25th, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
Very, very well put. I'm a boxing diehard and I pay for fights all the time (including the Mayweather-Pacquiao stinker). But this is a bridge too far. Come on, MacGregor has no business being in the ring. Hell, some folks from the NYSAC (I think) came out this week and suggested Nevada shouldn't even have sanctioned the fight!
August 25th, 2017 at 4:38 PM ^
Vegas doesn't care about that, they want that sweet, sweet moolah. A fight like this will generate plenty of that, at least. But I agree that McGregor has no business in that type of fight, and it's going to be boring.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
Vegas would hold an event for a public execution by firing squad if they could make money on it.

he might not, floyd is one of if not the greatest of all time but this idea that mcgregor is gonna get battered and have his life on the line is pure fanatasy floyd doesn't generate enough power to put that kind of hurt on someone. personally i think mcgregor makes it interesting for the first 4 rounds maybe even steals a round off floyd but he will begin to fade. i got floyd by tko in the 9th round but it will be from mcgregor gassing out and floyd just continuind to throw punches. don't think itll be espescially brutal just think the ref will call it off early in the 9th.
August 26th, 2017 at 9:12 AM ^
I don't think it is. If they were to street fight, I'd put money on McGregor, but not when they're actually boxing. McGregor will lose, badly, and it'll be extremely boring to watch because Mayweather will just get in his defensive shell and not come out of it. I hate watching him fight.

you could buy on your way home today turned out to be the winner? It's possible. Does that sway you to spend the time to pull over and buy it?
August 25th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
August 25th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
way of highlights to watch afterward. What I do expect to see are numerous stories about how the boxing public was conned into providing a nine figure payday for a snoozer of a fight that they pretty much saw coming.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:02 PM ^
I'm gonna read about it after it happens. Maybe watch some gifs of the interesting parts, if there are any.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
where the book is going to be a million times better than the movie.
August 25th, 2017 at 5:39 PM ^
I'm planning on watching it by highlight videos... tomorrow morning.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
I assume they will give more than enough updates during the second half of the Stanford game.
August 25th, 2017 at 5:10 PM ^
I'd pay to see your avatar(s) pillow fight though.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
I'll be at a wedding. I'm sure there will be some guy there to tell everyone how it went. If not, I'll be too drunk to care anyways.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:07 PM ^
At my neighbor's house.
He doesn't know me at all, but I saw where he hides his key on his front porch so I figure I have an in.

i can buy a lot of avocado toast for $99
August 25th, 2017 at 4:22 PM ^
when Amazon slashes Whole Foods prices on Monday. It's going to be like scenes from Walmart on Black Friday when all us yuppies trample over each other through the doors looking for the avocados and kale.

This is purely an exhibition. Floyd is going to toy with McGregor and collect his check. If anyone doubts that Floyd will do just enough to win on points, I have a strip club to sell you.

VPN (Virtual Private Network), it's when you connect to some other network or PC (like connecting your home PC to your work's network or even your work PC to be able to work from home) ...I think what he's talking about doing is using a VPN to try to make it look like he's in Canada where the fight is aparently cheaper
August 25th, 2017 at 9:47 PM ^
I'm pretty sure free (not cheaper) is what the OP is aiming for.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:09 PM ^
Why anyone would watch this garbage, much less pay for it.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
I don't know but according to these doctors McGregor might literally die in this fight:

August 25th, 2017 at 5:10 PM ^
Yeah no. Mayweather can't generate any power, he last knocked out Ricky Hatton over 10 years ago.
And no, I don't count suckerpunching Ortiz a knockout. Anyways that event was 6 years ago.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
Kodi if I'm near a TV otherwise I'll catch it online afterwards. I could care less but will watch for the novelty of it.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^

Mayweather is going to toy with McGregor tomorrow night.
