Using google, I have tried to find a bar or any venue that is showing UFC 205 tonight. Bars shown on 'yelp.co.uk' that are apparently showing the fight, ARE NOT. Hippodrome casino - NO. Empire Casino - NO.

I don't have BT. So does that mean, that if you don't have BT in the UK, you are f**ked if you want to see the event? Because ALL pay per view cotent in the UK is blocked. I can't pay to watch it!

I'm lost for words at this point. For such a hyped event, the coverage in the UK is nothing short of a joke.

That's how it works. You can always set yourself up with a VPN if you want to go pay per view.

Is that possible using ProXPN then?

Where's your nearest flat-roof pub? Preferably one with a dog-eared England flag hanging from the 1st floor windows.
They'll be showing it there.

I may be too late to this thread - but it seems that Facebook "live" may be the death of PPV. It's so easy now to find streams of most big sporting events on there. Not sure how much effort Facebook will put into stopping it either.
