UFC fight

Will be on the escape on Saturday. I have 20 year olds that would like to see the UFC fight. Any idea if there is somewhere that my televise it?

No interest. No coverage. Not in the US any more. However, last month, there was extensive coverage of table tennis (ping pong) and European football (soccer) on the sports channel. Great sports for you 20 year olds.

Hey,

I will also be on the Escape Saturday, cannot wait! Also huge UFC fan but unfortunately from past experience NCL will not televise the PPV. The cost is too high, they'd have to pay the promoter per head on the cruise ship, astronomical $. Sorry! I'm bummed as well.

Contrary to the reply you got though, I can tell you there is tons of interest outside of the U.S. :)

I wonder if you can stream it on computer

Streaming would be the only way to get it.

You can order the Mayweather v. Mcgregor on ufc.tv for the same $99.99 as you would at home. I know when I use Fight Pass from the UFC it is an HD picture. As for on ship internet? Who knows how it would look and I thought video and audio streaming were blocked?

Streaming would be the only way... I wonder if a group could get together and share the cost and watch it on someone's computer/laptop. No other way of doing unless you can record it at home and watch it later.

This is something I too was looking forward towards. Cruise out on the sea with other fellow passengers and watching a fun match. It's absurd the promoters would charge so much for a cruise ship. Would have been great promotion for UFC/Boxing but I get it, money talks. I guess they would rather get ZERO bucks then something reasonable for the cruise ships.

The ship does not pay per passenger, just like a family of 6 doesn't pay per person for PPV. You pay by the television set. This is just like any sports bar around, they are charged by the number of screens they could put the fight on. Even the tanker I'm working on currently can't afford a PPV fight, as we have to pay the same $100 for all 22 satellite boxes, whether anyone is going to watch or not. And if you think they could get away with cutting a deal with the cruise lines, think how quickly the other outlets would cry foul for having to pay for each screen.

I'm not sure about your info on sports bars being charged. I always understood that they were charged by the fire code occupancy rate for customers.
