rinse82 Posted May 13, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hey guys, I've read that the CP has shown Monday Night Football and playoffs in various sports, but Im wondering if they show pay per view boxing matches? I'll be on the ship next week and dont want to miss the Trinidad-Wright fight on the 21st (our first day at sea). Are there lounges or bars on the ship that will show the fight? Or even better you think they would show it on the MUTS screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted May 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Never seen them show a PPV event, you may want to call them, in the mean time have a friend tape it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted May 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You never know but I kind of doubt it as any special broadcasts, such as football, are shown only if there is wide, general interest. Everything pretty much depends on what is available through the Satellite. It's not as if you're in the U.S. and can flip a channel to a station.

derf5585 Posted May 14, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Wouldn't that be something if they held a televised boxing match of a cruise ship. think of the publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted May 14, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Cruise ships do not have the capability of pay per view (only PPV in-house movies), as they don't have things like Direct TV. The reason they're allowed to show the Super Bowl is because that program is shown on ESPN International, which is the sports channel cruise ships receive once they leave the US. You won't be seeing any PPV sports events because those things are not cost effective for a cruise line. I highly doubt you would find many who would pay $29.95 to see a fight on a cruise ship.

Wennfred Posted May 14, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Adverage Commercial account cost for an event like that which is what they charge sports bars in the U.S. is 1295.00 and for us Consumer account 39.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted May 14, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2005 as they don't have things like Direct TV. Ships have Satellite dishes. That's how they receive internet service on the high seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
