Thread: Uk guys.. Do you reckon most London Pubs will show the Hatton fight?

Dont really know what gets shown and what doesn't these days when it comes to boxing, is it even legal to show pay per view stuff on TV in pubs ?

Theres a Wetherspoons down the road I was going to try, but might not have time to get down there before Saturday to ask

franchise outlets like wetherspoons arent allowed to show any sports events as its not within their rights.

Most pubs wont be showing it as it costs a heck of a lot to screen a PPV event for very little return.

Your best bet is to find one of those boozers that have those foreign channels

Weird, there must be different laws as to viewing rights in the UK. I can basically always find a pub that will play the big fights, even though boxing isn't nearly as popular here.

Sports Bar in Leeds always show them. So i reckon that would be your best bet.

i know they can show them but it costs a shed load of money so they really need to charge admission fee and be sure that they will pack the place out to make a decent profit..

I would hope a pub in my city'll show it but its highly unlikely.. Im considering finding a place that will definately show it and grab a couple mates to drive up there.. Lol Tempting

Ive watched plenty of boxing PPVs in pubs/clubs (not for a few years mind)

It used to cost between £250-300 quid for a PPV compared with the home buy of £15.
