I was so looking forward to this card but i aint shelling out for £15 for a british title fight, sorry. It is a point of principle.

PPV is for special events, the creme de la creme.

anyone else changing their plans for Sat night now?

i think theres alot of intrest in this so will prob still sell

ill be watching on stream due to fact my cable is off the now but no doubt at last minute alot of people will buy.

if a pubs showing though best going there and using your 15 bucks for a few pints

Not for £15 with the undercard as it stands, I won't. Maybe if Sky reduce to around £8 i'd be interested, but £15 is too steep in these straightened times for about 10 minutes entertainment.

I was planning on going, but I don't think I can justify the £50 for it now.What a shame.

not worth it..dangerous if it sells cos any other fight where both boxers have pulses will be on ppv in future

Was contemplating seriously buying tickets yesterday but not now and will also watch on a steam or go to a pub. I spend a fortune every year attending shows and buying PPV's but having this as PPV takes the mick without one of the two main events so stream or pub for me.

I'll definetly be buying! I'm a sucker for hype and I'm really buzzing for this fight. I can see another fight being upgraded to try and sell better perhaps

I think i'll still buy this. Went to a local show recently with a couple of mates who weren't into boxing recently and they loved it so said i'd get this card in and have a few beers. Don't want them to go off it already!

+1

Even reducing it to a fiver would show that Sky are not using double standards regarding the Khan PPV fight.

I mean Sky try desperately to give away £100,000.00 every week in their Super Six Football competition (which is free to enter) and yet they still screw boxing fans for even the slightest bit of home grown entertainment.

I only refuse to buy Sky's PPV if they are joke fights like the Haye vs Harrison one or the Khan one. I bought Franks Magnificent 5.5 (or whatever it eventually turned out be) and thoroughly enjoyed it because all the fights were competitive. And I would have bought this one because although its not a top class world title fight it still was a world title fight and all the other fights (again) seemed to be very competitive. Now that Cleverlys fight is off, its taken the only major title away and this isn't a £15.00 PPV anymore plain and simple.

Perhaps they should just make all promotions like the Magnificent 7 and then if some fights fall through there are enough good quality ones to carry the show. That show was one of the best PPV's in recent boxing.

I was going to buy it but not now, DeGale Groves will be good but not that good.

I wasnt buying it anyhow,id have gone down my local to watch it&spent more out of principal...Feel sorry to the many people who brought tickets,you have Groves-Degale&many one sided mismatches...its bollox if its kept as PPV

I'll be buying because I won't be able to resist, I'd agree with it not being value for money but I'll keep things in perspective, it's only £15 for a nights entertainment, taking the missus to the cinema costs more.
Eff me I've got mates who say I ain't paying £15 for that, then they go out spend £150 on a night out on the piss its quite ridiculous really.

No chance, no disrespect to either fighter but zero possibility now

I'd like to scream and shout about how I won't buy it.

But the truth is I will as always.

Besides i've got a new B&W subwoofer to put through it's paces on my home cinema system in glorious HD, hopefully it will capture the moment that Degale hits the deck with a huge THUD.

Or maybe not

But the comparison in this case is that you head off to the cinema happy to spend your £15 on Pirates of the Caribbean 4 only to be told that the tape is fcuked so you have to watch Marley & Me instead, with no chance of a refund.

(You'll have to adjust the films to suit your own taste, apologies if you would happily stump up £15 for a film about Rachel from Friends and a dog.)

can't find anything on the ppv on sky's site. no way will they charge £15 for this

Marley and me is better than pirates of the carribean.

Either way, the missus is happy and you get rewards later on in the night

As many others have mentioned before, a sliding pricing scale for boxing would be good. I'd buy a lot more if they varied it up a bit. Saturday nights fight costing the same as Haye v Wlad is a bit daft

Yeah what principle? I would imagine your principle is not to pay for something that isn't worth the money? In that case why pay £3 for a shit pint of lager of worse £2.50 for a soft drink.
