Yes. Prior to 2017 it had the shows put on by Frank Warren in the UK and some US shows.

Arguably only Tyson Fury in the Warren camp is worthy of PPV. Maybe Josh Warrington with a quality undercard. With Eddie trying to get £20 to see a number of his fighters the patience of the boxing fan is wearing thin to keep paying £20 on top of existing subscriptions for these shows.

I might be showing my ignorance here not being a boxing fan but why are some bouts ppv? It does seem unfair if your`e a sports fan and sub to all the sports channels that you then have to pay more to see a top boxing match.

I quite agree, but don't shout too loud or someone might come up with the idea of making the top football matches Ppv on top of the sports subs.

That is down to the promoter deciding how to make the most money.

Sky have said before that they only made available PPV rights which no option to but and show on a regular channel.

As a boxing fan I'm inclined to think yes, it is extremely unfair. Sky/BT on average are paying something like £9m per game for the Premiership (Amazon are paying an absolute pittance but we will leave that aside for now). Yet they can't find £20m or so to put major boxing events on the main channels?

Essentially idiots - like me - pay for it and they realise there's a demand there. PPV football has been tested (albeit alongside a subscription option) with Sky's PremPlus service, on cable and as far back as ITV Digital.

Albeit it wasn't the 'main' games of each weekend, the subscription option got numbers and the individual match purchases were miniscule. I suppose ultimately football drives £70+ a month subscriptions and boxing doesn't.

I'm not sure what the answer is to be honest. As you say as long as people such as yourself are willing to pay they'll continue to do it this way.

As you say extremely frustrating. I wonder what the delay is? Mind you if BT lose anymore football rights I might not even bother subbing to them.

I remember reading something from the Head of Sport at Sky when they did their first PPV, he said:

'We only need one person to pay for it to make money'

or words to that effect.

Crazy thing is cost of boxing PPV in US. "At essentially a third of the price, it’s no wonder Wilder-Fury will sell better in the UK than in the US, where boxing has been relegated to a niche sport."

NXT UK started on BT last week with the premier being at 9pm on Friday nights - it is the episode which debuts on BT on a Thursday.

The three LIVE versions for Raw, SmackDown and NXT, are the only un-cut versions you'll get. All replays seem to be cut as child friendly edits.

How often does Premier/Freesports EPG info mess up? I set the golf on Freesports to record with a series link and Day 2 didn't record as the EPG entry changed overnight from Live Hong Kong Open Golf, to Live Golf. And Day 3 and 4 are now not going to record either as they have changed too. Even the rerun entry has changed from Hong Kong Open Golf to simply Golf, messing up series links for those that were happy with the reruns.

Yes, it appears virgin customers have been shafted - obviously Prem Spts don't think they will attract enough subs from virgin customers.

Only free for 2 weeks on the sky platform.

No - it seems the Reading and Leicester games are the only two not being shown on UK tv.

Call VM. For this type of fault, it's best to call while the fault is actually happening, then they'll hopefully see the problem on their remote monitoring tools.

It's very unlikely to be overheating. There are a load of temperature sensors inside, and it would shut itself down if it was overheating. You almost certainly have a signal quality fault.

As more and more live sporting events are cancelled due to the spread of coronavirus what is the right thing for Sky Sports, BT Sports and Premier Sports to do? Should all sports channels become free to air for everyone until further notice?

Admittedly this is by far the least important thing to worry about at the moment however surely people shouldn't be charged for services that are not delivering the relevant content? By all accounts we are heading into a period of financial uncertainty. Surely Sky, BT and Premier Sports should stop taking subscription fees? At least scrap 30 days cancellation notice to allow people to cancel straight away if they wish

I was listening to Radio 5 Live the other night. If the Europa League / Champions League are cancelled it's expected TV companies will not have to pay the full broadcast fees. I'd imagine that'll be the same for other sports. I can't see Sky or BT paying full wack for their rights if events continue to be postponed or cancelled. If that is the case their customers shouldn't have to pay for their sports channels.

People are already asking Sky and BT on social media what happens to their subscription whilst pretty much all live sport is suspended indefinitely. So far no reply. People can of course cancel but have to give 30 days notice. Under the circumstances consumers should be allowed to cancel with no notice in my humble opinion.

It gets tricky depending on your deal. Now TV were selling 9 month premiership season passes in August last year. If the season is over surely they can claim some money back? Alternatively if the season is extended by a month will customers get the extra month free?

It's totally unprecedented. It's not Sky or BTs fault but at the same time it's not the customer's fault either. Something will need to be decided as people can't be expected to pay for a service that fails to deliver it's main selling point, live sport.

Sometimes companies have to swallow the cost and do the right thing but whether they do no one knows.

RichardCoulter 13-03-2020 16:15
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
I'd give your months notice*. You can always rescind it if the live sport returns or resubscribe immediately if it's after the notice period (I doubt football will return on 3/4/20).

* I'm expecting some people will argue that they don't need to give a months notice as the service that they signed up to and are paying for has fundamentally changed.

When Virgin Media lost the UKTV channels, they tried to use their general 'Channels may be removed at any time' get out clause, but some successfully argued that the change was to such an extent that the service had materially changed and amounted to a breach of contract.

I beg to differ.
Firstly I should say that public health is paramount and sports or TV subscriptions pale into insignificance in the grand scheme of these unprecedented times.
However I am currently out of contract with VM and am only paying them for broadband at the moment because I expect to be moving away at some point this year and don't know if I will be moving to a VM area.
I have been subscribing to the standalone BT Sports subscription for the last 3 months because of this and my sub renewed today.
I phoned BT to see if there is any compensation or refund available as there is going to be nothing to watch on the service for at least the next month and was pleasantly surprised after several moments of being put on hold to be told they will refund todays subscription and cancel my service and that when the sports they show recover I can re-subscribe on the same account.

In their defence, both Sky and BT are still liable to the Premier League and UEFA for sizeable installments until such times as the games are postponed.

To go out their way and hand back hundreds of millions to subscribers just isn't viable. Customers out of contract might get the odd success story but they'll have to chase it.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
Surely if they show repeats of ANY sport they are a sports channel.the fact that a customer signed up to watch a sport no longer being shown is of no concern to them.So your choices are cancel under the terms of your contract . Or live with it . As I still get premier sports of nothing ( misleading advertising told you guys to complain) I will sit tight

You are being very optimistic if you think football will be returning on 3 April. The virus will not have even reached its peak by then.

The football authorities have got this around their necks. What they have done is contrary to the advice of the government's own medical experts and they have just gone ahead and done their own thing. They should have waited.

I don't think the football will be back until May at least.

You did read my answer to someone elses post did you not OB as l made it very clear in my answer that there is no chance of a resumption to football on the 3rd of April.

Listening to a respected football journalist on SSN he thinks after talking to the important people in the game the season is over OB.

If the sports seasons are not finished, which they may well not be, then the league tables as currently standing should be the final result and used to decide championships, euro qualifications, promotions and relegations.

The only exception should be outstanding games a team might have to equal the number of games the rest of the division has played (assuming this will make any difference to either teams league status next season)

Most leagues are well over 80% completed - to say all those games are meaningless is a ridiculous argument, or clutching at straws by supporters of teams not wanting to be relegated?

Can you point me to the Government advice where it recommends employers continue to expose their employees to people who have contracted coronavirus, are suspected to have coronavirus or have contact with third parties with known contact with an individual confirmed to have coronavirus?

You are confusing the public gathering advice with established health and safety at work law. While the Government advice appears to pretend everything is fine, it doesn't create any indemnity for employers not taking reasonable steps to the health and safety of their employees.

Only yesterday the Premier League were happy to go ahead, with significant matchday revenues at stake and (if abandoning this season altogether) television revenue, until the Arsenal manager was confirmed to have the virus - with the suspicion being he caught it in a game on February 27th - as the owner of that team has the virus. When this became a risk to their employees they decided it was best to limit exposure.

No employer could reasonably put their employees on a field against Arsenal, and whoever Arsenal played last week, and claim they took all reasonable steps to protect their employees.

Equally I'm sure none of these clubs would want a player to die as a result, perhaps still with instalments to pay to his previous club outstanding and compensation to a widow. Insurers would almost certainly not pay out.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
I personally don't believe the season should a) be null and void or b) simply end as it stands. There's be all kinds of legal action flying around both from teams relegated and teams just missing out on promotion. The same would be if the season was made null and void. The only fair and obvious answer is to play all the remaining fixtures as soon as it's possible.
