No way, embarrassing 'main event' and I won't buy a PPV on the off-chance that a couple of the undercard fights turn out well.

Great card and the main event was as expected. It's 17 quid, not 17 grand. What's the big deal?

I didn't, I'm guessing around 500k people did however...

If you don't like it, don't watch it. You're acting like there's never been a mismatch in boxing. :lol:

Exactly. I watched it on HD on a big screen. And it's £17.

No big deal, just disappointing that boxing is the only sport which has regular UK PPV. Especially for cards like tonight where they blatantly don't need to be.

It did need to be. That's the business model and has been for more twenty years. It's not going away, so get used to it.

Sure, but if you want to watch It live you just buy it. It's not like the US where PPVs are around $50-60

Thought it was a fairly decent card in the end. Whyte-Chisora went a long way to make it decent though, one of the best HW fights for a while.

Ah, the old "it's happened lots of times before, so it must be ok" defence

Next we'll get the "it's ppv worthy as long as people keep buying it" argument

I didn't but you pay for the card, Davie. It wasn't a bad bill at all.

But I don't want to stop you feeling smug or anything :lol:

Nope, watched the fights on Youtube about 30 minutes after they finished. Almost as good as live and in HD. You need to find and subscribe to the handful of Youtubers who capture the fights and put them up minutes after the final bell. They're free, in great picture quality and reliable. I knew the card is shite so wouldn't buy the PPV. This way I can watch the card, a bit behind live broadcast, and have a raging hard on about saving £16.95. A right smug tit right now :OhYes:

No chance of that mate.

I just can't come to terms with paying ppv for a show where the main event is a keep busy fight,
they could have Ward vs Gatti, Barrera vs Morales, Hagler vs Hearns and the fornicating rumble in the jungle on the undercard :lol:

Well said, mate.

Price of a curry or 3 beers. Some great fights on there.

That's fair enough but there's plenty that pay for the bill.

Starting a thread after a great night of boxing makes you look more of a mug than them, to be honest.

And I ain't saying that to get a cheap dig. It's not a huge amount of money. You calling them "fecking mugs" for paying a small amount of money for a decent evenings entertainment doesn't make you look like a superstar.
