Thread: Marquez vs Mayweather Delayed in Aus !!!!

This is fuckin bullshit!!! I have been waiting for this fight since it was made, i know alot of people havent really cared but to me this a super fight because Marquez could be the most skilled boxer to step in the ring with floyd.

So i go to order the PPV for the weekend and realise that it will be delayed telecast so i thought yeah i could deal with a couple of hours delay.....but instead its delayed by two fuckin days!!! Instead of us watching it on a sunday, we wont see it until tuesday and these cunts want us to pay for that.

And then to piss me off even more, i realise the reason why its not on is because of UFC 103...are you fuckin kiddin me? Boxing is way bigger in aus then MMA and they have chosen to put that shit on instead. Dont get me wrong, i like UFC...but if i have the choice its boxing all the way.

I have already emailed the pay tv company telling them that this is bullshit and that I am at this point an unsatisfied customer for the fact we pay $50 bucks for nearly every PPV except UFC which is $40 and they still expect us to pay $30 bucks to watch a delayed telecast. Even local events like bob mirovic vs john hoppoate was a PPV and it cost $50 bucks...those guys are just two aussie boxers that should be fighting a on a free to air card but no they charged us for that...i didnt order that anyway coz it was a shit card and i wasnt paying for it.


Not happy!!!

SERVES U RIGHT U KANGEROO BASHING WHORE

Kangaroo you mean? And have you seen those fuckin things, kangaroos are tanked, definitely wouldnt recommend trying to bash one...shoot one yes...bash nooooo.

Ah man that sucks the big one!!

They expect you to walk around with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears for two days until the fight comes on? That's crazy.

Sorry dood. Maybe try and catch a stream. Not the same though.

That is ridiculous and everything wrong with boxing today. Every sport seems to have sufficient coverage except boxing. From what I can gather coverage is pretty awful in the UK too. The Americans have it but even they must pay through the roof to watch the big fights.

I actually get the mega fights out here, but have to scrimp and scratch for everything else using the internet.

I would 100% mirror your post if I was in a position to get PPV although I don't have that service at all.... But that is rubbish... PPV is not worth it considering the result will be splattered all over the news for 2 days before the fight... that is so dumb...

Does that mean that even some of the pubs and sports bars where they may have shown the fight might possibly not have access to the fight live as well


It was always going to be online stream for me anyway, but i'm as hyped about this fight as you and would definitely have paid for it if I had the chance, and would have been irrate over it being delayed 2 days... Why the hell can't it even be delayed a few hours? Until the UFC garbage is over? I mean, the fights are usually on around 2 or 3 pm here, so a delay of even 6 or 7 hours would be fine..


It shows that the businessmen running the stations and making the decisions aren't in the same mind space as the people that actually pay for the damn service.. Wonder how it would have went if it was Pac Mayweather.. Or Tyson Holyfield? For all Mayweather's fights and undefeated record, this just shows how much Mayweathers big mouth has hurt him....

Sure his true fans will love him none the less, but what makes a real boxing superstar is a personality that appeals to ALL boxing fans, including fringe fans, and even to the extent of people OUTSIDE boxing..... That is what an ODLH or a Tyson can do... If Mayweather didn't have such an ego that he actually controlled his image and made himself into an appealing guy, we'd be getting this fight.. but at this point, it's seen by the business people that the only people who are interested in his fights or either

A) Because they are his diehard fans.
B) They hate him and want to see him get KO'd.
C) They are tuning in because of his opponent.

complete bullshit

someone has seriously dropped a bollock over in aus

I dont mind having to watch froch-taylor on a 24hour delay but if it came down to missing floyd-marquez id be having fucking kittens by now!!

Best bet for you oz fans is to get yourself onto those payperstream sites that are all over the web as theres no chance you`ll be able to go 48hours without hearing what happened!!

I really thought fan down under were getting a good service but what you described is taking the p***. That is shocking do not know what is worse having to pay for a 2 day delayed fight or having to pay for bob mirovic vs john!!!!!

God that sounds terrible.
Maybe catch a good stream and hook up the computer to a big screen?

Floyd-Marquez is on Sky Sports for free over here.

You should seriously send the waltzing Matilda to the company that provides you with such crap delayed PPV... 2 days later and no special discount on the price? That is purely ludicrous.
