I bought it last night - I think if Clev v Jack wasn't on the card I wouldn't have bothered. If streams were reliable and the picture was half decent and no hassle, then of course I would stream it - but what I worry with streams especially with boxing, is it could buffer/go off at anytime and you could miss vital points in the fight.

Can't not really, it's a big event.

Opportunity to have some mates over and I'm sure it'll be entertaining in some way.

Mrs always makes a fuss of my mates too so there'll be lots to eat and drink.

Absolutely. Have fam and friends coming over, they always come on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend for a pre Carnival BBQ/party anyway, so it will roll nicely into this.

I doubt i will see it

I'll be out in London surfing on a wave of substances, there's a fair chance I'll forget it's even happening

Oh god I'm wavering...even though his bum Mac wont land more than three punches a round, it's the event itself and there has been fornicate all on lately..

Presumably you can record box office these days?

Cause that's how I'd watch it, Sunday morn

While I put down no, I will certainly watch the highlights when they are available.
I don't have an interest in watching the whole fight though.

I'm on the verge of breaking, but none of my mates are interested in watching it and I know I'll end up feeling disappointed, dirty and ashamed as usual if I do buy it.

Its basically like the England football team playing the England rugby team at rugby. No interest at all, it won't be vaguely competitive.

Personally I'd love to watch the England football team try to play the England rugby team at rugby, it'd be hilarious.

They could be playing them at football, and the rugby team would still have an advantage. :lol:

I'm not buying this. Probably won't even watch it.

This isn't worth staying up for until 4am to watch, let alone paying for.

If they replayed it on freeview the next morning, so I could watch it without seeing the score, I probably would.

Other than that, I aint watching it. Nonsense event.

Main event isn't even until 5.30-6.00 depending on prelim events.

Me curling of a poop is an "event". That's the word they keep using to sell this as they know it's a Sh1t fight.
Hopefully no one is quite disturbed enough to pay £20 to watch it though.
Some strange people out there you never know.

Not currently. But me and some buddies had a bit of business at Vandenberg yesterday. It went quite well.

I keep an eye on PutinLand, and vice versa.

Yes.

Work pays for my PPVs so I've never missed one in the last 15 years, but I WOULD pay for this with my own money.

The hype-machine and the undercard both top quality.

It will be all over Sunday morning and back to normal. This is what happens when the circus comes to town when the boxing season is out.

Pay me and I might (might) watch. No way am I paying for it. I'm looking forward to post 26 August, when the journos get back to reporting on real boxing.
