They have both Azteca and Televisa in the States, but not the Mexican versions. I got mad when they did that switch like five years ago, because Azteca would show all HBO fights including undercards that weren't shown at midnight. Now Azteca America shows hardcore Mexican fights, but no big fights. But in my town we disconnect our cables and get shit from Mexico. Televis is real good about showing fights with little to no delays
Mayweather vs Pacquiao May 2nd [official]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
I can understand why, they have to pay a small fortune to get the PPV legally.
A bar (or Casino) cannot just order the $100 pay-per-view and show it on its televisions; it needs a licence to show the fight in public. G&G Boxing — the company selling the rights to show Saturday’s fight — reports the cost of the event “is determined by the occupancy of your establishment among other factors”. ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported the cost for this bout is $25 times the fire code occupancy of the location.
It varies. Bar owners and managers report numbers around that. A bar manager in Wilmington, Delaware, says his place was quoted $5,000 for a 257-seat occupancy (about $20 a head). Cardrooms in California have been quoted as high as $50 a head. A Buffalo Wild Wings in Henderson, Nevada, was quoted $4,500 to show the fight.
Here they talk about the PPV police going out hard May 2nd:
[...]
But our bar owner could be in trouble if he has more than just his regulars in. G&G says it attempts to combat piracy – threatening those showing the fight without paying the licensing fee – with “civil liability for actual and statutory damages in excess of $100,000, injunctive relief, legal costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as other severe criminal and civil penalties as provided for by federal copyright and state and federal telecommunications laws”.
[...]
PPV cops are paid by the number of illegal locations they are able to find. The ad posted by Edlund offers $250 per location found.
Part of this is bluster: companies want to scare bars into paying fees in advance. But if a bar is caught showing a fight without paying, there can be significant consequences. A bar in Lake Elsinore, California, shut down after paying a $23,000 fine for illegally showing a Mayweather fight. J&J Sports Promotions, which licenses fights and has partnered with G&G, has also filed more than 1,600 lawsuits against businesses illegally showing PPV events since 2010. In 2009 it won a $112,800 default judgment against a bar in Arkansas. It settled for $50,000 with a bar that showed the Mayweather-Victor Ortiz fight in 2011. “I’m not in business to sue people,” the J&J president Joseph Gagliardi told the Los Angeles Times. “But I’ve got to do it for one reason: to protect the clientele who are doing it right.”

@Rasan
did it work for you? If it did stay away from your phone that day. My homie told me that Televisa and Azteca agreed to a 5 minute delay, Azteca usually has a 1 hour delay. Euclid and Plaza might be the new 4 corners of death that night! LOL
i was at my girl house and she in city heights. i live in chula so i bet the reception is stronger at my pad.

Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nev. - Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao held a fan rally at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for the throngs of fans that have already begun invading The Strip for his high stakes showdown against Floyd Mayweather that takes place Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
After the rally, Pacquiao met with a select group of media to discuss the mega-fight. Reporter Kevin Iole asked Pacquiao about a new shirt that has been created with Mayweather's face outlined with the colors of the Filipino flag and his trademark The Money Team (TMT) slogan.
Pacquiao smiled and said, " That's good. That's good that he wants to join our team. TMT, that stands for The Manny Team." Which brought an eruption of laughter from the media in attendance.

If it's a very close fight I think Floyd will get the nod. However if Pacquiao is legit ahead it will be a fair decision for Pac. He has to really make it clear though - out work Floyd most rounds, make Floyd look uncomfortable and vulnerable, which of course is no easy task. However, Maidana did it for much of the first fight but faded late which cost him. Pacquiao has always been known for his great stamina so if he's finding any success offensively he's going to need to keep on Floyd for all 12 rounds, he can't let off the gas. Combination punching, lateral movement, shoot that straight left, and spin out so he won't be counted. He needs to keep him on the defensive, can't allow Floyd to be the aggressor.

But I've said it before, I do see Floyd being an aggressor. Being that Manny is southpaw, Floyd came forward with Corley, and Judah. Very little shoulder roll. But that's why I can see Manny KO'ing Floyd because that's what Manny wants. Hopefully the fans truly get what they want out of this as the undercard just makes the whole night kind of questionable
