  • Great News For Those Wanting To Watch The Mayweather / McGregor Showdown

    Say what you want about DStv and their selection of movies and series – we’ll bite our tongue – but there is no denying that SuperSport play out of their boots.

    We get to watch more live English Premier League matches than they do in the UK (every game live, thanks), and the rest of the 2ov office can attest to the fact that there’s never a shortage of live sport on.

    It looked like fans of the upcoming superfight between Floyd and Conor were going to have to stump up for the Pay-Per-View option, in HD for a cool $99,95 (R1 300), but the broadcaster has stepped up to the plate.

    This from their press release:

    Floyd Mayweather jnr versus Conor McGregor – the richest, most-hyped and over-the-top boxing fight in history – will be broadcast live on DStv’s SuperSport 2 and Maximo 1 across Africa in the early hours of Sunday, August 27.

    SuperSport will cross to Las Vegas at 3am (CAT) for the action-packed undercard with the main bout expected to start after 5am (CAT).

    The entire tournament will be broadcast to DStv Premium subscribers only in High Definition from the T-Mobile Arena.

    I don’t want to tell you how to spend the R1 300 you just saved, but you could always crack a few cold ones and then hit a Sunday morning snooze.

    Here’s Gideon Khobane, chief executive of SuperSport:

    “This has been at the top of our list ever since the fight was announced…People continue to talk of the great fights we brought to viewers in the 1980s and beyond. But this is more than a fight, it’s a mega-event with layers of controversy, excitement and intrigue. We’ll also be putting together great background programming especially for our valued DStv customers around the fight.”

    As long as it doesn’t involve hours and hours of awkward in-studio chats that go around in circles, like the current cricket coverage of the tour to England.

    Something to wake up early for, even if the experts seem pretty sure that Conor is on a hiding to nothing.
