P*ssed off with Sky thread

Post by saturday_kid »

After paying £15 Sky still didn't even show us highlights of a last chance saloon fight involving an ex world champion or a british title fight.

W*nkers

100% agree, why show 3 olympian kids against journeymen in full and then totally ignore an exciting prospect like Brook in a good test against Lomax and also a last chance saloon fight involving Enzo Macc. What a farce Sky are wankers.

Ridiculous, Brook is much more interesting to watch than the 2 olympians and amateur world champion winning predictably easily. The real boxing fan loses out. They could have at least shown highlights not some 10 sec clip.

So you'd rather watch 3 olympian kids beating up journeymen than 2 proper fights which either man might win?

The best is the PPV was listed to go on until 1am so they couldv'e easily fit in the Enzo and Brook fights, even highlights would be better than nothing.

It is just absolutely senseless the more I think about it. Brook has been built up on Sky Friday Fight Nights, Lomax has won prizefighter and been on tons of friday fight nights, therefore both will have been interesting to regular Sky boxing viewers.

VERY poor choice of live fights tonight, Hall vs Small, loved it, then I was bored shitless watching 3 mismatches before the main event. Whats the point. Surely not many people will be conned.

If you just have Sky for the boxing, then use the live streams instead !!

The quality of picture isn't always great, but at least your not paying for what was a shite bill. I'm pleased that i did'nt have to pay to watch Khan tonight, i would never pay out to watch him fight

EVER.........

I agree. I also feel that Brook is an exceptional talent, he may if given the opportunity out do Khan in terms of achievement. Sky have made a big mistake. Khan v Brook in a couple of years would make them a fortune, if promoted correctly.

I was at Sports Cafe and we missed 6 rounds of the Anthony Small fight because of a technical glitch. So pissed!!!

Terrible that they didnt fit in the to even though it said it was finihing at 1. Worst thing is that thye could have showed both fights in their entirety and till just finished before schedule

Olympins were alright though. Degale looked good, as did Gavin. Billy Joe didnt impress me too much though and cat keep relying on mercy stoppages to build up his record

Sky Box Office replay - Brook & Enzo fights

Post by saturday_kid »

Got the replay of lastnights pay-per-view on (just started), as usual they're showing they're "morning after" effort but you may be interested to know they mentioned Brook Vs Lomax and Enzo Vs Lebedev as if they are going to show them.

I thought this might happen (which is the reason I tuned in again this morning). Theyre showing Khan now so you got plenty of time if you wanna catch these 2 fights if they do show them (all indications were that they are going to)

Agree, I forked out last night and am disgusted that they didnt have Brook on. Surely a more promising, exciting and entertaining fighter than the Olympians at this stage of there careers.

Also quite a story with Enzo, can't understand the justification for not showing this also.

perhaps because they're getting paid a lot for these little fights, and that they're getting a bit of the PPV money? PPV to top their money up.

Well the brutal response is if you were so keen to see Brook and Macca - buy a ticket and go.
You'd have ended up with a very respectable upgrade even if you'd paid £40 for a cheap seat.
