I don't think its worth a tenner but i'll probably end up paying it.

I love the proffesionalism of Primetime and Priemersports when it comes to their epg.
They've been advertising that it starts at midnight. :OhYes:

Check their site. 3am is when Showtime go on air, and I think they are only showing Pascal v Hopkins, which should make for a nice early main event. As for the PPV, I really would have brough it for a fiver, but I don't fancy a tenner after I spent £15 on last weekend's show.

I'm OK with a tenner for this fight. Maybe I'm going soft but that doesn't seem too excessive.

£15 for Khan/Maidana Degale/Smith sounds even more of a bargain now...

It's a decent fight, but come on, £10?

If it was half that then it would be tempting.

My question is though, will any of us boxing fans be temtped by this?

I won't. Primetime should take heed and whack it on or £5.

IMO.
exactly its a piss take. Especially given prime times poor picture quality. If it was hd maybe 10 quid. But as it is this should be a fiver. I wont be buying it.

The other guy said he got this fight for 6 quid when he booked froch -aa. Is this true? Why didnt prime time advertise that promo. I might have booked the froch fight too.

Cancelled my SKY subs this afternoon. Not prepared to pay my subs and then pay on top like run of the mill stuff.

I will be happy to attend four shows a year at York Hall and then just keep up to date with the web and Boxing News and Boxing Monthly.

No need to keep watching boxing on TV.

Couldn't agree more. Is every single world title fight going to be a PPV affair from now on?

I understand Primetime need to make a profit but charging a tenner for what will be probably be a dull fight in the early hours of Sunday morning is a bit too much.

Mark my words; Arthur vs. Burns will probably headline a PPV next year. It's getting ridiculous.

Luckily I made certain and watched a blank screen at 10:30 to make sure I didn't miss the action. Again rediculous from Primetime... after they showed Fury highlights from his ITV days. They then briefly went to a screen that said "stayed tuned for more action - main fight at 3pm". No indication that it was starting before. The PPV started at 12.... they must make it clearer though.

Not a great picture, but I would say a nice full card.
