Barker-Macklin was the one I was especially looking forward to. I'm in limbo as to whether to buy it now, but I probably will if Kel Brook and Cleverly stay on the bill

If you guys didn't shell out for these sh#tty PPV's Sky wouldn't be able to keep doing them.

Don't pay, go to a sports bar, watch a live stream, anything but support these people.

PPV has fooked boxing.

It won't happen and I know i'll end up paying anyway, but this is the ideal card for us fed up fans to make a stand and organise / carry out a boycott.

Ok, we'd miss out on a potentially good night of boxing, but as has been said elsewhere, there will probably be a repeat, there'll be You Tube footage or people can use something called a stream (being a law abiding citizen i have no idea what one of them is)

If even a significant minority of Skys loyal Box Office base don't buy this card, alongside the lack of casual punter interest that a big name fighter would generate, the numbers could take a hammering and Mr Warren would be faced with a significant hole in his pocket.

I have no qualms with stumping up for a big fight or even a small fight involving a big name, but if this box office is successful it will make economic sense to Sky and Warren to continue down this path and all prospects and Euro level fights will be PPV.

I'll just wait for sky to show the rerun on sky sports HD its a bit of a piss take putting a card like that on ppv, obviously barker did decent figures on itv but now he's not boxing i cant see who's going to get the buys. Especially with Haye v Harrison in november and then khan v maidana in december on ppv.

To be honest i wouldnt have payed £15 to watch barker v macklin anyway. If its not a world title fight then it shouldnt be on PPV imo - its just a way to fleece boxing fans.

As far a british PPV goes, this is the best I have seen for years.

I always pay in the end, even when I can get some fights free on German TV. Think I will watch the Froch fight on German though.

Nah i'll wait for the rerun. Some great fights that i'd like to see but not enough to pay £15. I pay my sky subscription to get sport not to have to pay extra for anything good.

Just looked at the sky boxing schedule and this month is great for boxing.

Think they've got the Haye v Harrison fight listed wrong though - for november.
