The 12th of November 2011 marks the much awaited day where Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manual Marquez will finally meet each other in the ring at the City of Entertainment – the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada – for the WBO Welterweight Boxing World Championship.
Many people will have bought tickets to watch the match live from the ring, others will be meeting up in one of the many sports bars that will be airing the match, and others again will have got a group of friends together to watch it at home. Unfortunately, some people are not able to go to the match itself, and have very unsupportive families who disagree with watching a brutal sport like boxing and will not have it on their television. Some others will be on the road whilst the match takes place so will feel like they have no means of watching the match. However, it is actually possible to watch the match live and in high quality images on any mobile device with video features, like an Android phone, an iPhone or iPad.
If you live in the United States and enjoy sports, it is likely that you will have a HBO subscription, which means you will be able to install HBO GO on your mobile device for free, allowing you to watch the match live on pay per view, so long as you have a reasonable internet connection (2Mb) and remain within any download limits imposed by your provider.
So, for all of you boxing enthusiasts that for whatever reason thought you would be unable to watch the big fight live, breathe a large, collective sigh of relief and get your phone ready! Make sure it is fully charged, of course, there would be nothing worse than your phone switching itself off in the middle of the match!
Of course that you can watch the fight on every computer system, notebook or any other similar device. If you can’t use HBO go you can also use peer to peer connection to watch Pacquiao vs Marquez live!
