How to Watch Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor

TheGentry · 16 Aug 2017 at 18:04

As a BT customer, there is no option to purchase, sky box office.

The only other options i think i have apart from watching at someones house i can find is buying a Now TV box and purchasing sky box office through that but seems a waste as it will be a one off and will have no need for the box after i watch the fight.

I also dont want to watch it on my PC i want to watch it on my TV.

Any help?

connect your computer, laptop or several other devices to tv and use nowtv.

To be fair, it would only be about £20. not too bad for a one-off.

Or just move the PC temporarily.

So basically getting a Now TV would be the most viable option and less mess, wires and hassle?

you missed out, NowTV were giving them away free a little while back

You can use NOWTV on some other devices too, check if you have any, I used it to watch the league cup final on my XBOX last season

NowTV works well on my PS3

I don’t have a NOW TV Box. Can I still watch the fight?
Don’t have a NOW TV Box? You can still watch the event online using your PC or Mac.

Just order using the link above, and follow the instructions in the confirmation email to watch the event.

Keep in mind You won’t be able to watch Box Office events through the NOW TV app on any other devices, including your smart TV or games console.

TheGentry · 18 Aug 2017 at 20:08

So found out my tv is too old now tv is only supported by 2015+ TVs any other ways to wireless stream the content front my PC to TV

The Now TV app doesn't work for box office anyway.

Chromecast?

TheGentry · 19 Aug 2017 at 13:29

I seen chromecast, does it basically just display your desktop or how it work?

sk8board_pete · 24 Aug 2017 at 12:01

has any one had any experience in streaming such a fight from the sky box office app? Im in the same boat at the OP

Is this actually worth forking out for? I'm in two minds as I feel it's going to be over in two minutes.

Uncle Petey · 25 Aug 2017 at 08:50

Who knows? It could be an epic fight or it could be garbage.
It could be well worth it if it's over in two minutes*
It could go the distance and be poo.
