Two question thread: PPV showings in FL and online betting sites

5dimes IMO. Always had more options/variety when it came to fights compared to other sites

Buffalo Wild Wings is my best bet but I won't be surprised if they didn't show it

In the US, most sports bars don't even show a variety of sports. Only the huge ones (basketball, football, baseball). In New York City, it was difficult to find sports bars carrying Mayweather and Pacquiao fights. Only a few did. Same with LA. I remember one former pro player setup a big movie projector screen of a PPV Pacquiao fight on the beach in LA. Lots of people came to sit on the sand and watch for free. But there was a bar a block away charging $20 per head to watch the same fight. So guess what they did? They called the COPS! But fortunately, the cops didn't care and watched with everyone there. :lol1: He'll have to go really out of his way to find a bar that not only caters to Quebec people, but carries the fight too. It's not a journey I'd recommend. Montreal bars are very cool for doing all of that though! Waaaaaay different than the US. I can't even imagine. That really surprised me, honestly. Considering how sports crazy Americans tend to be, I expected quality sports bars everywhere. Here in Montreal even strip clubs have a number of screens showing PPV events and always hockey games throughout the season. I think Toronto is the same. We have many sports bars with huge numbers of screens and there is never a cover charge. If any bar did try to put a cover, there are so many places that are free that doing so would ensure an empty bar that night.

There are a lot of Quebecers in Florida and Lemieux is from Montreal. Find a bar that caters to Quebec tourists and you will find a bar with the fight on. And I think it is pretty sad to have to pay a cover charge to watch a fight in a bar in the US. Talk about nickel and diming customers to death. Sports bars in Montreal cover everything from rugby and soccer to F1 and baseball and hockey and football and ... well you name it, there will be a screen showing it in a Montreal sports bar.

Honestly, your best bet is to either buy the fight while you're there, or find a stream. It's going to be very difficult, if not hopeless, finding a bar there that is carrying it.

Going to West Palm Beach FL this weekend and don't want to miss the GGG fight. Do you guys know where I can watch the fight? Also, depending on the odds, I wanted to place a bet on Viloria vs Gonzales. What is a reliable betting site to do this on? I used one previously but wasn't too impressed.

I don't know what Florida is like, but here in Montreal most EVERY sports bar carries most EVERY PPV event, whether it's boxing or UFC or WWE. And no bar ever has a cover charge to get in. Take note of the places that interest you and once you get in to town, give them a call and ask them if they will have the fight on. That's Montreal. In the US things are quite different. Few bars across the country will be buying the fight. And it's just a lack of popularity thing. GGG isn't a big enough name for most of them to buy the fight. Then on top of that, most sports bars are clueless about boxing. I've hardly seen any bars carrying PPV fights that weren't headlined by Mayweather or Pacquiao. And pretty much 95% of those bars all charged covers. And it wasn't even cheap, we are talking at least $20 bucks a head.

I did a quick search but only found UFC related PPV's associated with the sportsbars.

Ever think of doing something like a search for 'Best sports bars in West Palm Beach?' Amazing what you may come up with! Chances are that every one of these will be carrying the fight. http://www.yelp.ca/search?cflt=sportsbars&find_loc=West+Palm+Beach,+FL http://www.sportstavern.com/florida/palmbeach.html http://westpalmbeach.cityvoter.com/best/sports-bar/nightlife/west-palm-beach-fl http://www.10best.com/destinations/florida/palm-beach-west-palm-beach/nightlife/sports-bars/ I did a quick search but only found UFC related PPV's associated with the sportsbars.

Does it matter that I live in the US and will be using a US bank account? Just asking since the site has an EU extension.

Buffalo Wild Wings is a pretty reliable chain bar for fights, I dunno about FL but that's usually the place I hit up if I'm out of town.
