No, it's more than that, spoke to them yesterday, was paying 46 quid a month for movies and sports 1 2 and 3. The movies were thrown into the hat for free, got rid of both and now paying 22 quid a month.

[quote="forcefraser"]On paper I think this is a great card with some cracking fights. However after forking out 15 big ones (like I have) I expect to see the whole card, not two fights plus three 4 rounders.
They should televise the whole show live in it`s entirety, with a stripper edge to fill in the dead time. Isn`t that what we are paying for??[/quote When has Sky ever given good VFM where boxing is concerned. Warrens one sided, foregone conclusion, cards have really pissed me off. The Dave Clarke five looking "Glad all over" (you wont get that if you dont know the Dave Clarke five). The only person worth listening to is Jim Watt.

So basically this is Play School With Frank wWarren?
the boxing equivalent of Gavin gets a colouring book, Degale does dot-to-dot and Billy Bob draws a picture of a horse
methinks they are laughing at us

Not me, I'll read the results the next day. Won't cost me a bean.
I mean seriously, how is this worth 15 quid? Once Khan is a world champion, and fighting decent opponents, I'll consider paying for a PPV, but not a title shot against a guy who is basically a contender. Jog on.
Anyone who pays for this has nobody but themsleves to blame.

that post is making me think twice actually.
f*cking 15 quid for 3 mismatches.
and 2 decent but hardly ppv worthy fights.
tempted to wait it out for the repeat now. :>

Agree James. I'm not paying for this tripe. If they were catering for real boxing fans they would include the Macc and Brook fights live at the very least. So for that reason, I'm out.

yes,but you said these three "look like they have never laced a pair of gloves in their lives".i can assure you they have,and yes,they will be massive underdogs and more than likely lose,but its good to see three domestic boxers get the payday and chance to perform on such a big stage

I know they have but I was saying I would rather see a competitive fight between Enzo and Lebedov than watch the Olypians win easily
