Fight nights are short, high-stakes and often late. The main event can start hours after the scheduled card time, and everyone tunes in at once.
Know what you are buying
Many big boxing and UFC events are sold as pay-per-view by their rights holders. Regular sports channels carry prelims, magazine shows and some events. Check what is included before fight night.
Checklist
- Find the event's channel in the guide a day early and favourite it.
- Convert the main card time to your time zone.
- Wire the TV and restart the router in the afternoon.
- Keep a backup feed in favourites.
- Silence social apps to avoid spoilers.
Expect delay
IPTV runs a few seconds behind live. Friends on another service may see the knockout first.
