Can't say that I'm too disappointed about that. Two over the hill fighters (IMO) which would cost Sky quite alot of money to show, doesn't make much sense really.

fornicate Sky. For the prices they charge they we should get all boxing. They show conference football for fucks sake!

Yes, to be honest - although it could be a decent fight, I'm not expecting the winner to go back and dominate the devision again. This is no Corrales vs Castillo - two exciting fighters Yes, but not at the peak of the powers.

Not sure it deserves the hype it is getting.

I'm quite looking forward to this fight, and luckily for me, I get to see it live in Thailand. And the best part of it is, it's at 9am! Lol.

Although it's a pity I can't see the Williams-Skelton fight.

For the record, I agree to an extent with what you say, although I don't think Mosely is as shot as people say he is, but past his best obviously.

Mosely on points for me.

Just stop moaning and watch it online like me :TU:

It'll only cost you a couple of quid for a whole month of live sports (and you can watch plenty of other fights that aren't shown in the UK :TU: )

Disappointed in this. Just signed up to Sky Digital at £46 per month and was looking forward to seeing two of my favourite (faded) fighters duelling it out. I think this fight has the makings of a war and would have been a nice 'welcome to sky' fight...

Feature on the Moseley Vargas $100,000 bet on Skysports news in abit. Don't know if this means they will get some highlights, I wouldn't have thought they would hype the fight unless they get some clips.

Is $100k that big a deal to these two? Peanuts I am sure.

$100,000 is $100,000 - far from small fry in anyone's books. If there purse's totalled around $2,000,000 each is stilll represents 5% of the purse total. When you have to give up 25% to a managger, a further 25% or so to the tax man, I doubt either wants to see another 5% vanish!

My point is both are multimillionaires this is like the average guy making a £10 bet!

I know Vargas has several business interests outside of the ring and Mosley is now involved in GB Productions so neither is sort of a bob, as you say, but I still reckon a possible 10% of their net purse is a sizeable chunk to put up for a side bet.

Moseley didn't look very interested in the bet, although it could be an expensive bit of mind games for Vargas.

Maybe if they lose the bet they'll try and tell everyone that the winner had called and cancelled the bet the day before and hope everyone forgets about it?

Both aren't the fighters they were but Mosley still looks able to take a shot where as Vargas has looked a bit scared of being hit of late.
Agree with those who say it could turn into a great fight as it's their last chance

Alrite Terry. I agree with you. I've got a feeling it could end up being one of the fights of the year. 2 quality fighters needing a good win to resurrect their careers. You don't happen to know where we can watch it in the UK do you?

How can i watch it online? Can anyone help me??? :TU:

In my experience pal downloading it online proves to be a total pain in the arse. Unless you are a nerd :lol: okay that was cruel. Lets say COMPUTER LITERATE then it is really difficult to decipher your way through all the mumbo jumbo " You will require an xenerator plug in with a 22.2 jigawat amplification rate" bullshit.
If I controlled the Universe you would simply click on a button saying 'Watch' rather than going through all that bollocks. :TU:
