X2 sky are to blame for selling us this shi@t

What bothers me is the undercard.

OK - the Groves fight was quite good, but the "card" is not worth £15.

People should start boycotting this sh1t.

The card was waifer thin from the outset; I wouldn't, and didn't, pay £15 for that tripe.

Those that did pay were suckered in - plain and simple.

Fool me once, shame on — [pauses] — shame on you. Fool me — [pauses] — You can't get fooled again.

Agreed , but with a hype job like that even if us hardcore fans boycotted it would have still sold to joe public

SKY are a disgrace - this was never a PPV fight - in fact every fight since Hatton-Pacman has been a total waste of box office bull.

Boycott SKy - I did it years ago - theyll never get my money.

Exactly. :TU:
It's easy to be a clever dick after the event. Seeing as I'm at home, recovering from an illness, and nothing else is on I don't think it makes me a "sucker" because I fancied watching some boxing on TV this evening.

The fact there wasn't any is just the way it is.....

Anyone been on Facebook to see what the 'Casual fans' thought of the fight tonight? :lol:

And so many said this was good for boxing in the UK, no chance.

To be fair - a lot of people on here called it the way it went... fair play to them!

I have been watching this game for 30 years and have been suckered again by Audleys big fornicating mouth - for the last time may I add. There is the hope that a man with his tools and his skills would make good his boasts - well, silly fornicating me. :roll:

He would make a genius PR man! He should go into advertising. (Audley that is)

I have been watching quality boxing with even matches all evening from 7.30pm free to air on the BBC red button. Just watching a close and tense heavyweight final right now.

I streamed the Fraudley fight whilst watching the Smith v Fowler derby fight from Liverpool.

The quality of the card was there for anyone to see before they laid down their 15 quid - I have bought a ton of PPVs in the past but this one had 'give it a miss' written all over it IMO.

300 hours of hype for 9 minutes... actually 20 seconds of action.

The DAMAGE this has done to our sport, to the casual fans, it's off the scale.

Seriously, on my facebook there are like 100+ people, who are by no means boxing fans, who are disgusted with paying £15 for it.

The SKY team need to realise you need go with your instinct. If it it looks like a sh*t gift on first glance, then it is - and no amount of glitzy packaging will disguise the content.

I genuinely think the SKY team involved in this are red faced. Only the money men will be pleased. A proper nail in the boxing coffin.

This year's boxing has been terrible. Roll on Nov 27th.
