Encryption starts at 1am. Praying my online order worked!

It's live for first hour on Main Event. They even give a countdown till encryption in the top left corner every now and again.

It's to lull the illegals in and then kill them off in one fell swoop at 1am

I wish they could have had some MMA fights on this. Boxing undercards would be a great cure for insomnia.

First fight was entertaining enough. Decent scrap, late knockdown, close fight. Enjoyed it. But yeah, it'd be great to have staggered boxing and MMA fights. But Floyd doesn't employ or make money off any MMA fighters, so was never gonna happen.

Can't stand the way Sky hit an ad break between every round in fights. Way to fvck with the immersion, cvnts. Give me HBO any day.

No it's not. It's to get as many watching as possible and continue to sell the PPV.

Ufc.tv servers crashing already. Ridiculous, $100 and not even near the main event and they can't handle the load.

I'm shocked at how quiet the arena is. I naively thought that people would want to see the undercard. I'm sure the atmosphere in the bars and outside the arena is electric.

how do you order this fight if your service is through vodafone
