farang1979 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Couldn't see this thread posted. Looking at time differences, the fight is due to start at 10 a.m. Thailand time. So I'm wondering where would be a good place to watch it and possibly get a beer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VfB Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 A number of sports Pubs Show it live as the Sportman. But I just came to know that Channel 7 will show the fight for free. If there is english commentary available I do not know. Maybe somebody knows more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsman is off Sukhumvit, right? Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker1 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Kiwi Bar Soi 8 Sukhumvit I am sure will show it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenterry Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Channel 7 will be in Thai. I've tried to change the FA cup match broadcasts back to English using my remote language change, but no joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmouthboyo Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Do you think Channel 7's IP Live Stream will still run OK for the fight? The stream is HD and at the moment no lagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Channel 7 will be in Thai. I've tried to change the FA cup match broadcasts back to English using my remote language change, but no joy. I got English commentary for the last FA Cup game on Channel 7. Whether they have it for the boxing is another matter! where is the sportman bar located? Sukhumvit soi 13, just past Trendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A world of difference of the level of fighters but Mayweather reminds of David Haye before the Klitschko fight. Scared talk. Thanks for confirming Gooner, enjoy the fight. Oh yeah look forward to another fight soon. MUFC OK! ;-) Edited May 2, 2015 by farang1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rott Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Usual sequence on the remote for English audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill1369 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just curious, but with most of the world paying to watch this event, how does Ch 7 get broadcasting rights to show (I guess) a Pay Per View exclusive broadcast?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblecat Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'd imagine True made an offer, HBO / Showtime ran the figures and estimated that whatever True were willing to pay was probably more than they'd make off pay-per-view in Thailand so they sold them the broadcast rights. Or maybe there isn't a workable PPV system set up in Thailand so it was easier to sell the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblecat Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Oh yeah. Good point. Then pretty much what I said but replace True with Channel 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang1979 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I think Channel 7 is owned by Bangkok Broadcasting Corp. and the Thai army. I'm sure money changed hands at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
