UFC 242: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Dustin Poirier [7 Sep, 19:00]

Man Vs ManUre · 06-09-2019 7:09pm

The MSG event in November will be far better than this, guess it will be PPV also. Am a big fan of Colby, hope he will be fighting Usman and Nate vs Masvidal is a great co-main. Even if Colby fight isn’t made, the full line up will still be way better than Abu Dhabi.

Do most popular bars not pay the little extra to show a big boxing ppv event?? Will they not do the same for this?? I was expecting most pubs in my village will show it. Wasn’t thinking I would need to go to the bars that are known for showing big YD type sports or ufc. This event is different because of the time.

I dunno why but I'm convinced Dustin will win this and we'll have him fight Conor next

Why would Conor get a title shot?

In fairness the reason that Ireland and the UK haven't had to pay for cards previously is because it's on at a **** time. Where it's all ppv, they all cost the same, regardless of the quality.

That’s my point though.

This is the most expensive ppv there has ever been over here. The last one was €25.00

I get you. But why wouldn't it be the most expensive one? US have it on at primetime, and it's $60 per event. Every event is the same price in other countries, and the cost is based on the time in each country. It's $45 in oz to watch it on Sunday morning.
I'm not arguing you should pay for ppv at 4am, but for a card starting at 7pm it makes perfect sense.
I actually have to check if they're charging full price for this event here since it's a 4am start.

UK prime time (Boxing) PPV have always been £20/€25.
Tyson v Wilder was £20/€25
The last UFC PPV was £20/€25

This event is £20/€30

The price has been hiked in Ireland only. That’s why people are complaining. If anything the € has strengthen relative to the £. So it should be €22.99.
It’s like they adjusted for Brexit but got it backwards.

The ppvs are quite expensive either way, but i was mostly comparing it to the previous one. If a ppv on at 4am is €25, why wouldn't this one be more expensive?
I get the card isn't as good, but the ufc are hardly going to admit it's a bit crap and lower it.

If you boycotted everything that was more expensive in Ireland than the UK you'd be doing a lot of boycotting.

Also i just checked on the playstation store. It's still the same price as any other event, despite being on at 4am. Now that's a rip off.

The prices are the same as all other events in UK, US, Aus, etc. Standard pricing makes business sense.

The better time slot argument make no sense as the UK are in the same time one.

I’m not saying they should lower it.

Again, it’s not that it costs more. The last event cost more. It’s the fact they increased it further, to Irish customers only.

Cupp3r · 07-09-2019 9:35am

Does any packages show this card free or is it ppv across the board.

€30 is nasty expensive for what is essentially 2 or 3 hours of live tv.

I could justify a tenner for a stacked Conor card on at a normal time. But yikes. €30 in tv terms is a lot. Could get a month of Sky Sports or a few months of Netflix/Amazon Prime for the same amount.

Will have to call Captain Jack Sparrow later to see if he is around for a few drinks.

I agree. Also the point that Tyson is the name brand selling that PPV in the UK and Ireland market. You can't just have a random title fight on and hope that it sells big.

The UFC put on PPV's every single month. There simply isn't the market here for that (even if times were adjusted to suit here).

Man Vs ManUre · 07-09-2019 11:14am

€30 extra onto what is allready very large monthly subscription cost, for an event that really only has 1 fight of interest. This fight may only last couple of mins. Also there hasn’t been any controversy in the run up to it making for extra excitement while waiting to watch, like there was in ufc 229.
I do want to see it, and will go to pub in village and spend about €30 on pints. Will check in advance if they gonna show it.
But in general I would only buy a ppv if Conor fighting, or an event like msg where there is 3 or 4 big interesting fights.

I’m only watching it because of the time zone novelty.

And because I’m on a boat.

Cupp3r · 07-09-2019 3:09pm

Anyone getting the message stay tuned, event not started on streams.

RasTa · 07-09-2019 4:22pm

$60 for the yanks to watch. They always get ripped off.

This will do more money then Mcgregor.

Homelander · 07-09-2019 4:30pm

If I wasn't working so early in the morning I'd happily have spent 30 or 40 quid enjoying a fair whack of pints in a bar showing the whole card.

dodderangler · 07-09-2019 4:33pm

Normally have all the fights and just checked and eir took away bt sports.

Macdarack · 07-09-2019 4:39pm

Hi lads, ufc244, how do I buy tickets?

The Undecided One · 07-09-2019 4:39pm

Am I right to say that there is no way to watch this event in Ireland if you haven’t got BT Sports on your TV? I’ve no Sky, no Virgin, just netflix on the xbox and tried the UFC app and it sends me to BT sports.

I tried the BT sports box office online but there is no way to create an account.

I don’t mind paying as I don’t pay for TV every month but I seem to be out of luck (sick of watching poor quality streams that cut out every 5 seconds, that’s why I’d rather pay)

If I can’t watch it properly then it’s number one bull****!

It's on ESPN+ . Have it on the dodgy box. Try twitter for some stream links

Anik and Cruz as a two man team really lacks something. They're both great individually but it just lacks...oomph

Khabib in fourth

Unfortunately as much as I would like to see him beaten along with his cousins, I dont think Poirier is close to his level.

Ferguson is the best bet against beating Khabib

Moras absolutely brutal off her back, 2 clear opportunities for a triangle choke she messed up from her inability to be patient.

They both seem to have no interest in this moras v jojua fight. I know its not a top fight but lots of silence and low energy.

Although people saying online that its mean to be extremely hot inside the cage, maybe that's it. Might effect the fighters who are not used to it

JoeyJJ · 07-09-2019 6:02pm

This should be a decent scrap Murphy 0 will be in jeopardy

Anyone know of a Dublin city bar that has this on?

Really appreciate that thank you.

Can see this being a very interesting fight. My moneys on Dustin by a very close decision. He will rock Khabib at some point I’m sure of that

No he won't get a decision. Dustin needs to have a game plan for the ground. Khabib will tire 3or maybe 4 then he will need to look for the finish. Khabib will score heavy on the early rounds making it hard for Dustin decision if he's not submitted.

Impressed with Murphy and glad he got a draw. He kept his composure well when taken down.Not sure he totally deserved the draw tho

John_D80 · 07-09-2019 6:30pm

Also appears to me that the humidity is going to be huge factor in the grappling exchanges with fighters sweating so much, so early in the fights.

Really hope Dustin can do it tonight.

He’s a handful for anyone and this should be Khabibs biggest test to date.
Needs to clip him early and get his respect.

Hope he has been drilling that flying knee with Brown and Masvidal.....

Wow she's saying how warm it is in there. Must be very warm
