They shoot themselves in the foot with it a bit really. Haye is retiring next year and they'll be left without their easy cash cow. Getting a few up and comers and/or exciting fighters on there and into the minds of a large casual viewing audience can only help when they're desperate for someone to put on PPV in the future.

I'm surprised they didn't try to lump the Pacquiao v Margarito fight in with the Haye v Harrison PPV like they did with Pac v Oscar and Khan v Fagan.

Be emailing complaining, if your paying £15 you want as much fights as you can! As with Magnificent 7 (I hope they show as much for the return of the magnificent 7 bill at the echo). Mind you Haye Vs Harrison was aimed at casual fans who probably didn't even bother watching Anderson Groves etc. Still no excuse though, also advets during a PPV especially between rounds bang out of order, urge everyone to email the only way were gonna change things.

Think Sanders vs Vitali (yes a PPV) also showed two fights. It was only 2 hours long.

Maybe we'll finally have something to thank A-Farce for afterall. If the backlash to this latest PPV farce is strong enough, Sky might show more fights again and stop the rip-off padding.

The magnificent 7 was good had competitive fights on it. This and Ruiz ppv are two of the worst we had.
