Joe Bloggs?


This forum is the anti Joe Bloggs!

Its very much the opposite, like a bizarre Morrissey figure who finds it utterly impossible to care about anything that is even vaguely popular

Hatton, Calzaghe, Khan

Hated, Despised and Loathed on here


Yet sell all these tickets


why?

lol, classic. This guy's no good, he's fought nobody, and I'll beat him easily. But still I want you to pay £15 to watch me fight him.

aye, he's no Naz, yet...

Am i the only one who thinks
Amir Khan SC Breidis Prescott 12x3
Alex Arthur SC Nicky Cook 12x3
Audley Harrison SC George Arias 10x3
Matthew Macklin SC Francis Cheka


is quite a good card?

Seen as you posed the question. Yes I believe it has a degree of influence.

Good lord, that means people like me and Andrew Woolatt have a tacit influence on British Boxing

Frightening thought, no?

I hope to god this forum has no influence what so ever, not because the posters here dont know their onions, but i do keep having to bring this up:


Hatton - Lazcano, 55,000 paid, great night had by the people i know who went there (No i wasnt there) yet on this forum it was a joke of a fight, looked down on with a slight sneer by self styled hardcore

Why would you listen to a hardcore of 25 people who are so far out of touch with the "reality"?

Not that i've ever had any grasp of reality[/quote]


KG - we are true followers of boxing whether that be from buying tickets - magazines or supporting forums. That is why we know Lazcano was a shit fight for a ppv.

We are Boxing people - not Hatton people an 55k people turning up is good for Hatton because once he is gone...so are they!

Khan is taking the piss!

BOXING!

As a non ppv card it is good.

He's acting like Mayweather already.

I don't know why no one else has come to the conclusion that Khan is a really unintelligent kid that basically wishes he was something he isn't. Those comments are ludicrous.

The last time Sky Sports did a boxing show on Sky Box Office, it was the Hatton v Lazcano and they repeated the show for free the following Friday. I seem to remember other Sky Box Office boxing shows being repeated on the following Thursday or Friday for free. I always think this is a fair deal, because if you're paying for Sky Sports and you can't afford the the extra £14.99 that week, you can watch the fight for free a few days later, albeit probably knowing the result.

Does anyone know if Sky will be doing the same for Khan v Prescott? If they are not, I think this makes the whole PPV even more disgusting.

Yes it will be repeated, but when? I don't know

why?

First off, get a keyboard which has a return key fkin working properly!

Secondly, you missed my main point which was that forums are a direct communication point for editors and promoters - We read enough press releases on here to prove that.

You can't just dismiss that a boxing forum doesn't have some kind of voice, however skewed you may think it is.

By the way you still into debating videogames and asking for personal advise from 13-14 year olds on ntscuk? ;)

Yeah its like people who say WWE is a load of rubbish but know everything about it.

a big pic of Amir Khan with "Is he worth it?"

No fighter Is worth PPV, there just greedy fuckers and think because they fight In a tough sport they deserve It yet they choose to be a boxer.

How sky agreed to put on Is madness too, Murdoch should be happy he's get millions of subscription fees.

Hatton Vs Mayweather was the last PPV I bought and not buying anymore.
