The Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao fight is the biggest pay-per-view of all-time so it’s understandable that there would be technical hiccups, but no one expected as many outages as there are right now so close to fight time.
Most of the big ppv providers are experiencing outages for the big fight and customers are expressing their anger online.
Providers that are experiencing difficulty with some PPV customers: Cox, Time Warner, DirecTV, Charter, AT&T and Optimum.

It would be a huge shitstorm if these cable/satellite companies don’t get this fixed in time.
