UFC 257 Poirier vs McGregor 2

Anyone care to PM me details on how to watch through VPN?

Ive set my location to Netherlands on my current VPN but do I need to sign in to a specific Dutch channel and if so, what is it? Bit lost

You'd be doing me a real favour

Thanks

There's something not right about Poirier here.
It looks to me like he's happy to have the fight but I don't think he
believes he can win this.

He's well able for a war here if his head is right but just a gut feeling he
won't have the stomach for it.
I feel if Conor got into his head like the first fight that he'd still have Dustin beaten before the fight starts....

I do however hope I'm miles off and I'd love to see Dustin win

Completely this. It’s over before it starts.

My god I could watch Dustin fighting all day but he has a level.

Thank you!

On that first Dutch link I'm getting an unable to connect error. Is this down to the fact that the channel is not live or can people access the channels content currently?

It's on at this time to facilitate the US market who buy the PPVs. If they had it on earlier then it could cause less people in the US to tune in and buy the PPV.

They're not. Only 254 was. The rest of the PPVs at Fight Island have all been the same

Recently got rid of my sky box. Is the only way to watch this in Ireland is by physically having a skybox. The sky sports box office app and website is infuriating. Says itsopen to ROI, but only lets you sign in, not sign up. Even when following their link to sign up.

Anyways I know these posts can be annoying but this will be the first fight I miss, so please humour me ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

DrSpongeBobz · 23-01-2021 06:35PM

Dana going after streaming hosts tonight lol

Vautours Ghost · 23-01-2021 06:38PM

Do you have to pay for this through the Dutch tv channel or is it on free there ?

It’s not on Sky Box Office, it’s BT Box Office but yes you need a Sky box, not available on app.

Free, going by what others have said.

Nope. Unless by chance you were in Australia, then you can buy the PPV on Fight Pass.

If you have a VPN you can log online onto a Dutch tv station and watch there. It's shown legally on that station free of charge.

I'd be surprised (and delighted) if a vpn worked.

Try this VPN solution?
If I didn’t have Sky, I’d give that a go.

Gonna be setting the alarm for this one, can't do full late nights anymore with a 2 year old waiting to jump on me all day Sunday, that's if i can find a way to watch. Hopefully i can stay awake/Dana doesn't get me.

Just can't see how the UFC would allow people to use a VPN from other regions without blocking them. Think of the revenue they'd lose. I'm hopeful it'll work myself as I don't have a skybox. We'll see.

Icyseanfitz · 23-01-2021 07:15PM

how are ye able to even buy it on bt sport with a vpn without a uk visa card?

I couldn't imagine they would have left no way for irish people who don't have sky to order but here we are.

Icyseanfitz · 23-01-2021 07:28PM

Guess dodgy streams it is ffs, would gladly have paid money for this considering how crap everything else is at the moment.
