How to Buy the Floyd Mayweather Fight Without Cable
Posted on 4/20/15 at 8:58 am
Posted on 4/20/15 at 8:58 am
Okay, So I cut the cord about 2 months ago and got Sling TV and I use an antenna. It's been working great so far. But here is the first problem I've run into.
I usually buy ppv fights on my cable box, but is there no way to buy the fight without cable? I know i could probably bootleg it, but that is iffy on nights of the fight.
So, does anyone here know of another way? I would rather watch at my house than a bar. If you dont know of a way to do it, which bars in nola are good for fights?
Thanks

The hippies are the ones that try to get everything for free.

Yeah that didn't make much sense

Every time I do free pirated big bouts it gets bogged down. I'd rather pay.

It can be done but you'll need to mask your IP address.

So not being a thief makes me irrational and a hippy?

I've always struggled to understand how viewing an illegal stream is stealing. I can't find a theory of liability.

Its not stealing. I dont lose an ounce of sleep watching events free online, especially from how many times Ive bought fights/ events and they have been shitty amd i never got my money back for them.

So you've never watched anything on first row sports or logged into someone's ESPN/Netflix/HBO account that wasn't yours? Because if you've ever done any of that, it makes you a hypocrite.

Why would you expect to get your money back? You paid for the right to watch the fight and you got to watch the fight.

To make it simple.
The live broadcast is the product. The customer is making the product (live broadcast) available for 99.99. If you are illegally watching it then you are not paying them for the product they are legally offering to you for a set price.
Not that hard to understand. IF you (or whoever shows the fight) doesn't pay for a product you are stealing.

I'm not paying BWW to watch it either. Same thing. For an illegal stream someone bought it and allowed others to watch out for free.

As far as I know, it's not illegal to watch an illegal stream. (The law is very vague on that topic. If something new has come out, let me know.) Combine that with the fact that I am not retaining anything, I still don't get how it's stealing.
But thanks for trying to make it simple for me.

Have you also noticed that a lot of the people here who brag about stealing their entertainment via streams and torrents also piss and moan about economic "takers" that suck up welfare funds? The mental gymnastics those people pull is quite amusing.

No, but the fact that people who watch for free get piled on is ridiculous. We don't care that you fork out to watch, so you shouldn't care that we decide not to.
