I was going to 'buy a ticket' but I am unable to make it now. And like someone else mentioned we cant all afford to go to every fight going.

I thought thats what was happening anyway, it makes it worth the 15 quid that way.
Exactly, especially when you consider that when its a stateside PPV we get a good chunk of an english card and a good chunk of that card for the same price.

Just put the whole show on, those who dont want to watch every fight can just choose to watch when they want.

Well Sky start their broadcast at 9pm so that is two hours before the Khan fight starts. That means by the time the three Olympians fight and then they show the Kotelnik v Khan build-up that leaves hardly any remaining time for other fights to be shown live. Hall v Small and Brook v Lomax are better then the main events we get to see on Friday Fight Night for the whole year and yet despite paying an extra £15 we won't get to see them!!! At least Setanta started their broadcasts at 7pm and showed nearly the whole card.

Sky are being dicks! :witzend:
