bighairtexan Posted March 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I was onboard for some big fight... I think it was Manny Pacquaio vs I have no idea. It wasn't shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudoware Posted March 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If I was going to be on board that night, I'd pester someone at customer service, and even corporate, about getting that fight shown. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/ourCompany/contactUs.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted March 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I just read that MGM has exclusive rights to the fight and it is blocked out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev71 Posted March 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2015 No, I was told by the bar staff they only have the rights to show. NBA, NFL, MLB and soccer. i asked this when I asked if they had access to NHL playoffs last year. That was on the Oasis anyways, I am sure its the same fleet wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if they show pay for view fights onboard? Melissa, I've never seen a pay per view fight on board, but since that is a sea day, maybe you an stop by the RC TV area on deck 3 in the morning and ask them about it. I have no idea if they have the capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokiefan01 Posted March 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hubby and I love to watch boxing and this fight is scheduled May 2 and we'll be onboard Freedom. Anyone know if they show pay for view fights onboard? I am on the same cruise and was wondering the same thing. Would love to see the fight but i am not holding my breath. But maybe we can get eough people together and they can pull some strings no idea, but we will see in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsai3s Posted March 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We've been on a couple of cruises when ******** had a fight. No, it was not shown onboard and no, it will not be shown during your cruise. Don't laugh, but many of the crew members are from the Philippines. All of them are diehard ******** fans. On our cruise, our Filipino waiter and assistant waiter gave us an "up to the minute", round per round results of the fight...during dinner. I am not sure how they were getting the updates (wink, wink), but we knew who won the fight before the end of our meal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted March 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I read this morning that any hotel in Vegas that isn't owned by MGM can't show the fights in the hotel or on the tv in the guests rooms. MGM has it on lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted March 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm not a fight fan, but I had to look up this fight to see the name of the boxer that Mayweather was fighting, since Cruise Critic replaced his name with a bunch of asterisks. I can't even type it in this message. What's wrong with typing Manny's last name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because on May 2nd, Pacqu¡ao will put a profane beat down on Mayweather. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roquejo Posted March 27, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nope, it will not be shown. Was actually on board once during a big fight, and did asked... any boxing pay per view, it won't be shown.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
