Has it escaped your notice that for the last 6months we have been able to do exactly that? Watch all games including 3pms?Why are people so pissed off? It is an extortionate fee but you're not being forced to pay it. These are 3pm games you wouldn't have had the chance to watch anyway. Just don't watch them.
I finally bit the bullet and got BT VIP package...now I feel like I'm being fleeced for even more. Luckily I can edit my package whenever I like which was one reason I took the plunge.Its improving all the time. A few years ago you had to really know what you were doing, streams crashed all the time and when they worked you could barely make out which player was which.
Now almost anybody can put it on a big TV and watch in perfect clarity.
Give it a few more years and there will be no difference between IPTV and Sky HD in ease or quality.
It took the music industry nearly 20 years to stop fighting the likes of Napster and embrace the future of Spotify. How long will it take football?
Bob Arum was right but he is also a bitter hypocrite. He came out and said that because of what Sky were willing to pay for the Lomachenko-Lopez fight next week. Then of course he struck a deal with fite.tv for it to be a £9.99 PPV for us in the UK. He also wanted that fight on PPV in America probably for 60 dollars plus but ESPN said it wouldn't do many buys.Exactly, there’s 3 heavy weight fights coming up £20 a pop and they’re all trash fights. Fury and Joshua is up to £25 a fight.
Mediocre fighters are now the headlines on Sky and anything with a bit of interest is PPV.
Bob Arum recently came out and called it immoral and he’s right.
I used to watch a lot of la liga on sky, havnt watched a single match of it since. The prem will go the same way.When they decided to split the PL package was the first kick in the teeth for fans, then ITV losing the CL was final nail. I have MUTV as well as Sky on a running contract and BT. I really only have MUTV for the women's games. The picture is atrocious at the moment. It is supposed to be HD but it looks like someone is filming it on their phone. I loved watching La Liga on Sky, until they managed to lose that to yet another subscription channel. I might seriously cancel MUTV and get La Liga Channel and still save money.
This! I wonder when interest will start to drop and people will stop paying these prices?Even without PPV it fecks me off something rotten how many adverts Sky subject you to on top of charging a subscription.
To now try and rip us off for an extra £15 per game on top of that for the right to have 16 bet365 adverts shoved down my throat at HT, they can go feck themselves.
I know he went to fite TV then and is now charging £9.99 for the fight, but I still think Sky should’ve bought the fight anyway it just shows their loyalty lays with the casual fan base to make as much money as they can.Bob Arum was right but he is also a bitter hypocrite.

DAZN will hopefully get all boxing over here and put it on their monthly package for £5, as was their plan in May with the Canelo-Saunders fight.
Don't even need to go that far. If nobody buys these individual PPVs, they'll stop doing them quick enough.There needs to be a mass boycott of sky and bt and all Premier Leagues games for 1 weekend. Send these greedy cnuts a message.
To be fair this isn't a TV companies led thing... This is solely down to the PL.Even without PPV it fecks me off something rotten how many adverts Sky subject you to on top of charging a subscription.

I still can't believe that when I lived in Australia every premier league game was included with my $15 a month phone contract. Hope no fecker buys a single PPV.Don't even need to go that far. If nobody buys these individual PPVs, they'll stop doing them quick enough.
Bit more difficult to actually go to a Premier League game when you live in Australia though!I still can't believe that when I lived in Australia every premier league game was included with my $15 a month phone contract. Hope no fecker buys a single PPV.
Either way they can feck off!To be fair this isn't a TV companies led thing... This is solely down to the PL.
Think I heard the TV companies won't really make much of this and they were happy just showing all games.
Huh, yeah. That’s a good point regarding Spotify and Apple Music, actually. Consider that, as well as how much value you get when comparing their £15 fee with services such as Netflix and you see how out of touch with reality these people are.Seen an interesting post a few days ago, someone said Spotify & Apple started to charge only £10 a month to have all the music you want and it killed music piracy,
The premier league are so concerned about illegal football streaming yet they think the best way to combat that is charge people a further £15 to watch a football match on tv on top of there subscription, and then on top of that they also didn't think being in the middle of a pandemic where millions have lost there jobs wouldn't play a part, it's absolutely disgusting and i hope it backfires and loads of people cancel there subscriptions.
I'd say it's the best fight this year. Sky did bid for the fight but Bob Arum wanted more money. Unfortunately its not worth that much to Sky because only hardcore boxing fans will stay up until 4am to watch it.I know he went to fite TV then and is now charging £9.99 for the fight, but I still think Sky should’ve bought the fight anyway it just shows their loyalty lays with the casual fan base to make as much money as they can.
For any proper fight fan Loma v Lopez is one of the best fights this year and the fact Loma has only been on Sky once speaks volumes.
amazon do the same with prime, for about an extra £7/8 a month you can get all the music they have. Theyve completely took the piss just as a 2nd wave pandemic is underwayI’m curious. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge than I can enlighten me. Why, in 2020, is the

In Nigeria, all 380 games are shown live for the equivalent of 13 quid a month. The overall coverage is even better. I don't pay for sport anymore. Not because I can't afford it, it's a rip off. I feel cheated.Like me in Czech Republic. I pay 15eur per month and have all Serie A, La Liga, Premier league. In Premier league its like 8 rounds each weekend
You are aware there were people before that paid to go to football games and paid for sky on top of that.Yes because they want fecking £15 to watch a fecking game of football!! £15 ON TOP of the £100 a month people are already paying just to watch fecking football.
yes, I’m outraged and would have been even without the pandemic. I will never, never pay to watch a single game of football. you can not even begin to compare it to a match day ticket.
the fact they’ve introduced this when fans can’t get to stadiums, can’t get to pubs and will feel more forced to ppv individual games does make it worse and makes it seem like they’re taking the piss when people are already struggling. How long before the super Sunday matches return to 3pm Saturday KO so they can ppv it? Then sky can feck off too as they’d be even more pointless
My interest has been waning anyway and this is the final nail in the coffin. football, a sport for the working class is pricing the working class out of the game now, even at home. They can feck off
I didn't know about that, that is good news, and it makes a lot of sense since the vast majority of it is not televised anyway. It's good that it can be watched whilst happening BCD.Lower leagues ARE showing all their games currently.
I follow is the platform in the lower leagues and is £10 a game, although clubs may well give them free to season ticket holders. This season it's every game, whereas last year it was only non sat 3pms unless you were abroad.
So the premier was always going to be more.
Think most will go this way. I just hope mine doesn't get shut down!Feck the PL and the broadcasters. I cancelled my Sky and BT subscriptions this morning, and I will be saving a fortune over the course of a year. I’ll watch every single match on an illegal stream.
Anyone paying over £100 a month for sports packages need a slap, no actually, my apologiesYes because they want fecking £15 to watch a fecking game of football!! £15 ON TOP of the £100 a month people are already paying just to watch fecking football.

That was never going to continue.Has it escaped your notice that for the last 6months we have been able to do exactly that? Watch all games including 3pms?
If they'd brought this in first it would be one thing - you can still stream it free elsewhere, but at last you have a legitimate way to watch a saturday 3pm...I didn't know about that, that is good news, and it makes a lot of sense since the vast majority of it is not televised anyway. It's good that it can be watched whilst happening BCD.
Vast majority of PL football is televised regardless, and has been for a long time. Adding another cost on top of the already very expensive sports subscriptions doesn't seem to make much sense, and seems like a slap in the face to their existing customers. They tried it before and it failed, I don't see why it will succeed this time.
Until fans were back it could have done.That was never going to continue.
How would you even pay £100+ a month for sport?Anyone paying over £100 a month for sports packages need a slap, no actually, my apologies
They need 10 dozen slaps for being a moron
There are wayyyyyyyy cheaper options without even going to illegal streams!! Options that are 90% cheaper in some cases!!
Sky and BT are nevertheless rip off merchants but there are easy ways around their prices, I’ve no sympathy for idiots that pay full wack and moan about it
