Massive fight for britain and rick has loads of fans, they know we'll pay it :x

Most streams are CRAP, the picture freezes every few seconds and you cannot appreciate what you are watching.

Question for those with a long memory.
When PPV first started didn’t they give you a discount if you ordered before the day of the event?

yes, it used to be about 3 quid cheaper,

That was the spin Sky put on it but the reality was the 'discount periods' were always extended and what it really amounted to was a penalty if you booked last minute.punchers chance wrote:Question for those with a long memory.

Also, can anyone remember the first PPV SKY scheduled? Have a feeling it was a Naz fight (Kelley or Barrera) or a Lewis fight (maybe Judgment Day)

I thought Tyson v Bruno was the first PPV in this country?
Posted: 25 Oct 2007, 16:31
Probably, my memory isn't that great!
Posted: 25 Oct 2007, 16:52
Definately Bruno vs Tyson - I remember paying a made a £10 just to order it and get a video copy of it... only for the video to cock up.
Been looking for a copy of that PPV ever since - seems no one has it full.
Next one I think was Judgement Night 1 - Tyson vs Holyfield 1.

Just watched Ward v Neary on the Naz Box-office undercard and they show the light welter champions for each belt and Ian Drake mentions "a promising new fighter called Ricky Hatton. Maybe he'll feature up there in the future". Made me chuckle.

I simply don't understand why some people on here won't pay 'on principle'.
Fair enough, if you think 25 pounds for Hatton - Mayweather doesn't offer value, or you can't afford it, but what moral problem could one possibly have with paying for entertainment?

Don't have a copy of this, anyone? Been searching for this for blooming ages.Terry D wrote:Bruno-Tyson was the first I recall as James says. They included the 'Night of the Heavyweights' and showed Briggs' first loss, Ruiz getting dinked by Tuaman and a few other fights.
Felt sorry for Ruiz at the time. If only I knew then what I know now.

it probably sets a nasty precedent. especially for future hatton fights, if it's going to be £25.Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:I heard a rumour about this price hike a week ago. So I chased it up through the proper channels at Sky and they told me £14.95.RJK wrote:The fight is live in the UK on Sky Box Office - PRICE £14.95.... NOT £24.99!!!
I was in a bit of a no win situation though as they were hardly going to tell me anything different until they announce it...
It's $50 in the US which has always been a traditionally more expensive market for PPV...Britain waddles behind it's bloated cousin more often than not though...
it will be worth it if we get some good undercard. also, if the previous night's UK v Mexico card goes ahead - with Meager, Murray, & poss Barker and Froch - and is part of the package that would be good.

25 QUID still cheaper than going to Vegas and getting a seat.... I think that if you weigh up the cost of the only other way of seeing it properly.... then its VFM

Where else can you get that amount of entertainment for £25?
Even a half decent chew is more than that these days.
