Bdd2043 Posted July 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2017 OK.. This is more a curiosity, than a deal breaker. As most of the world knows, there's a fight Aug 26th :o:o. I get on the Empress to Cuba that morning. So what are the odds I will get to SEE the fight, or will I pull into Key West and have to see it all over the news there? I know no one can GUARANTEE, but historically, I bet this group has cruised over SuperBowls and other events... What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Unlikely a pay-per-view event is shown on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted July 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I doubt you can get the fight on a pay per view. The super bowl Is televised in the theatre, casino and certain bars on certain ships. I saw the last SB in the theatre on the Navigator with a spread of hot dogs, hamburger, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolosmom Posted July 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If it's a pay per view thing, then slim chances of seeing it on-board. If it were on network tv, like the super bowl, baseball/hockey/basketball playoff game, then you'd probably see if on board. You might be able to watch it on a mobile device if you buy the internet package. My dh watched a "very important rivalry" college football game on his phone when we were on-board using the internet. This was on Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATC cruiser Posted July 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I doubt you'd be able to stream on Empress Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I doubt you'd be able to stream on Empress Not sure about that. I thought someone reported the fast O3b service coming to Empress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When there is a fight like this, the fight's promoter, not the pay-per-view provider sets the rates for the event. Places that have multiple TV outlets (like the thousands of TV's on the ship) must pay for each and every satellite or cable box, so this would run into tens of thousands of dollars for the ship to show the fight.

Bdd2043 Posted July 21, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Well that's a shame. I can certainly understand not having it on every tv. And maybe not on the big pool tv (violence and all). I do hope no one spoils it for me. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabeew Posted July 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2017 As Billoh said, the pacquio-mayweather fight was on Freedom on 2015. I think the fight may have been shown in deference to the large number of Filipino crew on board. Our waiter said it was like the Super Bowl or World Cup to them.
