Hi Guys,
I see this event sched sunady arvo our time (AEST) is being marketed as PPV (pay-per-view). I have seen promos for this fight on AFN so maybe they will run it live. Check out AFN on IS18.
Cheers

hos here, hope you dont mind I edited your thread title as we need a thread for everyone looking to NOT pay $60
Good edit because earlier I was about to post about streams.
I'll just say that with the Horn fight I had no problem finding a reliable stream. All the stories about kodi streams dying I have found highly exaggerated and I'm sure with the global audience no amount of whack-a-mole will stop sportsdevil from providing...

I just made up a notice that will appear at the top of the forum as soon as the users date is the 27th, asking people to post any feeds or streams.
At worst, Main Event now streams
So basically, anyone with the internet can now buy it and split the over the top cost with friends. But that takes the fun out of it
Where can i place a bet that McGregor throws a kick or some other UFC move and gets disqualified?
Then we go to the re-match
Looks like McGregor keen to get it on in the ring here
Thats if the look on guys face far left is anything to go by

In a couple of hours, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will step into the ring and finally face-off, in what will surely go down in history as one of the biggest boxing fights to ever take place.
Mayweather has come out-of-retirement for fight putting his undefeated reputation on the line, while UFC's biggest star, Conor McGregor has much to prove and even more critics to silence as he enters uncharted territory at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
With such high stakes and an even bigger spectacle on show, it's understandable for fight fans to want to watch, anyway, they can, including the various illegal streams.
According to research conducted exclusively for the Daily Express online, more than 8 million Brits plan to watch the McGregor vs Mayweather fight this weekend.
But of those, roughly 3 million intend to do so in ways which are far from legal.
Further research by popular comparison site Finder.com also found recently that over one in three viewers plan to watch the fight illegally.
"Millennials are the biggest fans – with 31.81 per cent planning to watch the fight. However, Baby Boomers are the worst culprits of illegal downloading or streaming, as 37.04 per cent plan to watch it illegally." claims The Express.
But while it might seem as though the biggest drawback to watching the Mayweather vs McGregor fight illegally is nothing more than the possible threat of an awful picture, foreign commentators or a stuttering stream, there's an even bigger reason not to do it: tough new UK legal penalties.
Showtime and HBO will screen the fight on pay-per-view in the United States, with viewers asked to $99.95 for the privilege to watch in High Definition and understandably they're taking every effort to protect their potential revenue.
In the UK however, Sky Box Office is charging a much fairer price of just £19.95 across its "self-service" bookings when done with your remote and/or online (Alternatively £26.95 if booked via the phone).
But if you start trying to find an illegal stream, you might not have too much luck.
"US broadcaster Showtime has already obtained a preliminary injunction from a federal court in California that targets a number of sites known to illegal broadcast paid-for sports coverage." Claims the Daily Express
That preliminary injunction issued by the Californian court means finding a free stream could be incredibly difficult, with Showtime’s complaint listing 44 separate web domains advertising the fight.
Attorney Dennis Wilson said in response: “Plaintiff alleges that Defendants have engaged in such keyword stuffing as a form of search engine optimisation in an effort to attract as much web traffic as possible in the form of Internet users searching for a way to access a live stream of the Fight.”
US District judge André Birotte Jr. subsequently approved the preliminary injunction, which blocks the operators behind these sites from offering the streaming services advertised.
In many ways this injunction from Showtime is similar to a recent High Court order obtained by the Premier League earlier this summer.
Speaking about the High Court order Premier League bosses described the move as a “game-changer” in the potential crackdown on illegal streams and as a result, more than 5,000 server IP addresses were blocked last week, thanks to the injunction.
Because of this, up to five million people in the UK are turning to pirated TV streaming services via so-called Kodi Boxes, Amazon Fire TV Chipped Sticks, and illegal streaming apps.
But be warned, because back in May, the Digital Economy Act received royal assent – and increased the maximum jail sentence for copyright infringement in the UK from two to three years.
And only a couple of weeks ago, Derbyshire Police executed a warrant at a property in Derby as part of its ongoing crackdown on devices that enable viewers to illegally stream subscription services.
The warrant was obtained as part of a joint investigation with anti-piracy body FACT, where a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of fraud, money laundering and copyright offences and has been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Speaking at the time, FACT CEO Kieron Sharp said: “This collaboration between Derbyshire police and FACT is another step forward in disrupting the sale of illegal streaming devices.
“People may think there is nothing wrong with having one of these devices and streaming premium pay-for channels for free, such as live sports.
“However this is illegal and you would be breaking the law.
“Don’t be fooled by devices that offer you the latest Hollywood films and premium pay-for-view sports for no charge.
“If you want to watch this kind of content we strongly advise you go directly to the official provider to ensure you don’t fall foul of the law.”
The bottom line, your best just paying the fee to Sky, which compared to the possible implications of watching online, is actually rather small.
And it's worth remembering that if you want to watch some of the pre-fight build-up there is way to view without hitting the pay-per-view button.
Sky Sports Mix and Sky Sports Main event are both showing early action from midnight until 1am.
This means anyone with a Sky subscription can watch for free as Sky Sports Mix (channel 407) is included in all packages.
The big fight is expected to start from around 4:30am BST although this may be later depending on other bouts taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Anyone game to make a call on who will win?
Hard to tell i think
I'd love to see McGregory get his ass handed to him
But at 29, prime of his life, taller, longer reach and mega confidence, i'm not sure.
Mayweather will play the waiting game, and go in only when safe, so he could just win on points like normal.
With sooo much money involved and even more money for a rematch, dam its hard to say.

Mayweather hands down
Turns out UKTVNOW is streaming it and the quality is pretty good... If you manage to get the raw stream of it like i have (.ts) it is better to play it in non VLC players.

Why do i already get the feeling the Pre Fights will be the best fights we see all day?

The streams must be full of people at this stage as they are very jittery.
