I'm not paying for it.

It seems a bit stupid unless they charge something like £5 for it but it will probably be something crazy like £10-15

Yep, on their website - only in the listings - starting at Half nine. Would like to know what the coverage is like before deciding whether to pay. If its something like Cawood and that Ed Hall then I'm not buying.
Price is also important.
Glad the fight is televised, perhaps we should support it.

I think though it should be supported - the majority on here were hailing the idea of Web boxing. I personally prefer it on the TV (at least I am more than 90% that the broadcast will happen without interuption or a frozen picture) I think it should be supported.
How much is an individual game on prem plus? Is it 4 quid? I think that would be a fair price for this one - if viewers are impressed by the presentation and everything else of the show then maybe extend the price on future bills.
Still think a boxing channel (as part of the Sky Sports Packages) would work without the need for PPV money - stuff like phone in's, competitions etc would make some dough.

Sorry but I dont pay for fights online and I'm certainly not paying out to watch this it should be on 'free' TV. Its more likely to be around ten pounds I reckon.

fornicate sake, really want to see this one - but really don't want to support PPV. :x And Setana's coverage of Hopkins slaying Eastman was mince. So that's two reasons why not to get it. Really want to see it though...
Bloody cable shite.

Blimey, what do they think this is, Hagler/Hearns??
Someone needs to speak to the "decision makers" over at Setanta - talk about shooting yourselves in the foot.
Great bill in the USA on 23rd April - no huge names so you'd think wouldn't cost a fortune and would draw well at the box office with the fans -
Margarito/Cintron
Diaz/Elder
Mosley/Estrada
Brock/McCline
Now that is a QUALITY bill.
