During the 6th round, foxtel mysteriously cut out. There was no rain, a little bit of thunder. Than it cam back on again 30 minutes later when the fight was over. And more mysteriously when it came back on the weather was worde than when it cut out.

It happens every time it rains. Even moderate rain will affect the satellite problems.

Im getting my money back. I demand you all do the same.

What a disgrace. Im looking at alternatives now.

Oh yeah, I would have been extra pissed if i missed the rest of the fight. Especially the 10th round. I was going for pbf because i bet my boss 50 he would win. I tried calling foxtel but couldnt get through so i sent an email demanding my money back. Ill let u know if i succeed or not.

I was watching it at the pub, and i was spewing,it came back about 3 rounds later, in time for round 9.
That was Sky .
I can't believe you missed out on the rest of the fight.
That must have been devastatingly upsetting and frustrating.
The thing is , it was an awesome fight, and before you know it, lights out!
that really pissed the sht out of me,and the rest of the hundreds of patrons inside the club, well not really, just me and some friends.Get your money back.
Im dying to see the replay on the net since i missed out on rounds 5-8.
bsht.

Why would you even bother forking out an overpriced ppv for Mundine.
His whole fight night stinks from undercards to mainevent.

where did u watch the replay?

More than likely at home, since Pubs aren't too keen on screening the replays. I used to have to ask the barman to switch it over the replay. That was when I used to work Sundays years ago.

yeah the cunt of a thing went out at the end of round six.. missed rounds 7 and 8.. the telecast came back on and the ref was asking hatton if he was right to continue.. I WAS ****ING LIVID..

but it sounds like some got it worse and at least i won 40 bucks on the outcome. great fight.

I called foxtel. They are offering everyone $25 in credit. Which in all seriousness is shit.

And then you think about foxtel. For fights like Mayweathers and Mundine were PPV is $50. The fighters only pocket $20 a PPV. Foxtel are stealing from us big time. Even with $25 credit, foxtel still made money and they totally fkd up the broadcasting.

**** I hate those cunts at foxtel. I got an email reply from main event telling me to call foxtel. So I spoke to them and they were trying to tell me that legally they cant give me any credit at all. So i told the cunt that ive heard of a few people getting refunds and called him a lying cunt, anyway, they diverted me back and forward a few times and they have told me im getting a full refund. just have to wait and see if they do now.
