Hatton v Pacquiao on NTL?

[Kop On]

I've just recently moved into an apartment and it's already wired for NTL. Have always had sky digital at home. What's the story with ordering pay per view events on NTL?

With sky i could always just press the red button? I hope the sky box office channel is available through NTL?

I could risk trying to stream the fight online but worried in case it doesn't work and I miss it!

Any info greatly appreciated.

it's just a matter of ringing them up and they'll stick the cost on your next bill..
the ppv channel is still coming in on the dodgyboxes,if you can get a lend of one of them for the night you'd be able to watch it for free..;)

[travis]

Why am I been ripped off by Mr Murdoch because I live in Ireland ???

To book this match it costs £14.63 in the UK that is €16.31 in Ireland but Sky want €21.48 from us ?????? no recession round here eh !!!

Cheers man ... I wasn't sure cause i went through all the channels last night trying to find a PPV or Box Office channel like sky have but not a sign of anything. I guess after you order it a new channel appears then does it?

Watch it online lads,Ive watched most of the big ones over the past 18 months online and never had a problem....

I'm tempted but am afraid in case it doesn't work and I miss it!

Going to do that myself mate...like why pay 22 euro...its shameful having to pay that price...What time do u think it will start at?? round 2am ????

[Monty]

Can't wait for this fight.

Yeah theres always a risk alright but im 95% certain of good streams being available so Im gonna take my chances with the online myself rather than pay 20 odd quid!


And no man,wont be watching on justin.tv unless its worst case scenario.Its handy in that you dont have to install anything but it can be very hit and miss and is liable to stall at any time as its p2p,I'll be watching it on sopcast as you're actually watching it on a US TV station so its not at the streamers discretion when it gets cut off!

Sorry for going off thread here but do you know of a cable that can be attached to your laptop and then to your tv?? It would be nice to able to get the fight online and hook it up to my widescreen.

[Kop On]

Yeah man thats what i do aswell-i got a cable free with my telly....

It's not just a standard HDMI cable ninja is it? I got one with my tele aswell and I'm using it for the DVD player but it has a USB style connector and I was wondering.

I'll be online for this fight so if you have any streams would be greatly appreciated if you could post them.

No worries man Ive seen it advertised on a fair few sites so will throw the best streams up here! PS-I would deffo advise you to download Sopcast first though as its very good for both the boxing and football...


On the cable,mine is samsung but since it fits from a dell laptop into a samsung telly i presume theyre just standard.


http://www.edgetechcorp.com/Repository/ProductImages/0/dvi-hdmi-cable-connection.jpg

Actually,just googled "HDMI Cable" and the cable looks different to the one i have-its the same round shape on both ends like the top one above so im not sure if HDMI is the correct name for the cable?!

Never used Sopcast so I'll look into downloading it this week.

I also have a samsung tele and a dell laptop so I can't be far off, i'll look into the cable issue during the week.

Will keep an eye out for your stream on saturday though. Fair play!

[MrsPepe]

you're right ninja, it is called a hdmi cable, I bought one as well. my laptop has hdmi connection. paid 50 quid for it. hdmi to hdmi is supposed to be way better. I havent used it yet but will be doing so at weekend. A friend of mine said he bought cable for a tenner that has hdmi one end for the tv and usb the other end(as he doesnt have hdmi connection on laptop) he says this works perfect for him, but he's one of those that i got mine for 40 quid cheaper and it works better then yours kind of person so i dont know. Ninja-have you connected laptop to for a game yet? my tv is 42 inch and wondering does it distort the pic when connected?

[Ron1892]

yeah sound mate..never heard of that one u mentioned before..

i only ever used that justin tv and yeah your right some times it crashes...and then some times you get a rubbish stream...

[Aido82]

Sorry for going off thread here but do you know of a cable that can be attached to your laptop and then to your tv?? It would be nice to able to get the fight online and hook it up to my widescreen.

or even a vga cable will do you. costs about 10 euro

i'm not sure mate,it's been a while since i ordered anything off NTL.just ask them if/when you're ordering what channel number it is on.
What time do u think it will start at?? round 2am ????
i reckon it'll be more like 5-5.30 am

I have yeah-on both a 40" and 48" for both matches and movies and good quality every time-the size doesnt distort it at all!

[Gazr21]

dey usually dont start these fights till around 5am, it depends on the length of other fights on the card tho...i'l b well home from the pub for it anyway

**** it so.I'll still post the links in advance but theres no way I'll be up for newcastle if i stay up for the fight!

[Ron1892]

I might get slated for saying this but i think Ricky is going to win on saturday night...Think its going to be a great fight...

Whats peoples opinions?

[Gazr21]

my head says pacquio but heart is hatton. really hope ricky does it, he's the big underdog even tho he'l be half a stone heavier and have a height advantage on his opponent. pacquios speed is deadly but 13/8 is good price on hatton...toss of a coin if u ask me

[jaza]

I have ricky in the 6th. Think his reach and new trainer could be a big factor.

[Ron1892]

what odds you get mate?

his fist is also alot bigger too...1.5 inches bigger...could be a big factor...

Just in a work pool . 10 euro winner takes all

[Ron1892]

but id like to see ricky do it...

[rafalabamba]

anybody know approx.what time hatton pacman fight will start?

[Anthony_1892]

5am i think it starts at

its on already but all undercards etc

[Anthony_1892]

threw on a tenner for hatton to win in the 6th @ 25/1 and a tenner just on hatton to win by knockout at 4/11

No worries bud-just hope we find a decent stream.

Can we post the best ones and let me know about the duds as the night goes on so we can add and take from that list?

Im a bit sceptical about justin.tv......im hoping to watch it on sopcast channel 24267-have it up now-its some martial arts channel that has the fight advertised.Good quality and no stops so far....let me know!

[RedMurph08]

2nd link is fine for me :)

[Raven136]

i may be well oiled after todays game and dont want to contradict anyone but as far as i know Pacman has a 2inch reach advantage over Hatton and they will both weigh around the same.
Pacman was heavier than DLH in his last fight and reckons he is even stronger now.
Not a Hatton fan but unless he can stop mannys incredible footwork its going to be al long night.
Before anyone puts money on Ricky watch some of Pacmans you tube vids and watch the way he bounces after he punches,his footwork means he doesnt get caught in clinches but thats Hattons main game.

Dont be fooled by the new trainer stuff,hatton is slower than when he fought tzyu as he is older and a new trainer cant help that.
Punches in bunches is what will be his downfall imo.

Just throwing this out there,i could be wrong:D

glad i didnt pay 22 euro for 6 minutes...

[locallad]

He got his ass handed to him!! He really should just give it up now, he cant compete with the likes of May-weather and Pacquiao.

[paulwex]

the bollix should give back his money from pay per view........ he was on telleing everyone to empty their bank accounts and back him cos he was not going to get beat..... fcuk sake he got hammered..... i honestly thought he was brain damaged from the ko when i seen his face twist:(

[smarten]

That was some punch in the second. He was lucky he got up off the floor after 3 mins. Time for Ricky boy to retire
