ALWAYS buy the PPV AFTER THE WEIGH0-IN.
A lesson I learnt ages ago.

Call 08442414141
Press extension 4 (ie, thinking of leaving sky), follow the subsequent menu options.
Once you get through, tell them you want to cancel your subscription and tell them why. See what happens.
Better still, let's all do it!

I would like my ticket to the show to be refunded! Its a fornicating joke Cleverly fight being called a World title some Polish lemming is not what I paid 200 quid to watch. When I bought tickets there was 2 good fights more to come then never did then the Cleverly fight falls apart.

i was paying for groves v degale anyway, but im dissapointed im having to pay £15 quid for a domestic title fight. Because lets face it its a fake world title fight, cleverely isnt agenuine world champion its been gifted to him and its not a geniune opponent he's fighting.

That was just an idea thrown out by a poster on this form.

Well Kenny Anderson is a better fighter than this non punching Pole, who has been KO'd in both his losses and absolutely NO CHANCE.
Another quality alternate by 'Allegedly

No it wasn't bud
It was being considered apparently, but then they found out the polish guys wasn't working at Wandsworth tesco security that night and would be free for a one sided, non punching beat down. Deal done

I disagree with the people who say that Anderson is a better fighter than the Pole. Anderson is best known for getting stopped by a prospect and he edged Nathan King by only 1 point. Only two fighters had winning records at the time Anderson defeated them, and two of those boxers now have losing records. Not exactly anything impressive about that. I am very disapointed with Clev-Kuziemski, but Kuziesmki is a better opponent than Anderson in terms credibility. Kuziemski has defeated better opponents than Anderson and his lossess have at the hands of fighters who have done more than Groves has.

Anderson can punch a bit, which gives him some chance, however slim.
Th pole cannot punch at all, his wins rubbish, so he doesnt have a chance of a KO win or a points win.
So what is the point???

I don't understand why people would buy the PPV this early, especially for a Warren show.
Do they still offer some kind of discount for ordering early?

I think Steve Dow on another thread summed it up best
What on earth were they thinking of calling a press conference when they must have known that the weight was a real issue? Why did Bellew say in the weigh in that he had passed all of the requirements that the BBBC needed for the weight when that clearly wasn't the case? This charade this afternoon would have prompted a fair few fans to buy tickets or at least the PPV when they otherwise would not have. Therefore even if this was not a publicity stunt it certainly led fans to splash out money which they would otherwise not have and that is a disgrace.
And i completely 100% agree, its a disgrace and there SHOULD be a way of getting your money back because its not what was originally offered?
Imagine if you buy a plasma screen TV, get it home and open the box and find its a black and white TV bigger than your actual livingroom.........you'd take the fornicating thing back thats for sure! (unless you are a bit 'retro') Never known owt like it where you buy something and then everything completely changes and you can't do anything about it? Surely mis-selling?
Load of bollox l

'Nathan Cleverly will face unbeaten German-based Pole Aleksy Kuziemski in the first defence of the WBO light-heavyweight belt he only acquired on Thursday morning.'
boxing2011 says May 20, 2011 8:27am
False advertising Aleksy Kuziemski is NOT unbeaten! He has lost 2 out of 23 fights on of those losses was against Braehmer who Cleverly was originally supposed to face
PS That wasn't me who posted that, btw.
