What did you think of the PPV.

Have that the quality of the two world title fights in the states, and Woods's performance saved this from being one of the worst PPV's in Sky's history.

The undercard from Sheffield was very poor, Thaxton did well against a decent opponent on paper - but the fights were generally dull and very predictable.

FA need a bigger stable, or at least need to have their other charges in more competitive bouts.

Overall dissapointing - Perrera vs Aitken and Louis Collazo's effort saved it.

yeah it was an average ppv card wasn't it.

those 3 fights saved it.

aitkin-perreira was a cracker and that rd 5 was rd of the year contender.

shame about the DQ finish.

Woods and the states save the show.

The UK side?. I only watched Woods and the rest of the time spent on the laptop with the fights on in the background.

That line up would have been a crap Friday Fight Night - let alone a PPV!

Hatton better go back to Lt Welter or he will get stoped at Welterweight!..

Margarito anyone?.

Margartito KO 5

As for the PPV during the coverage from the USA we had those annoying banners down the side of the screens.

Very annoying.

Dont agree with PPV - Paying for Sky sports is enough to lay out - I did buy the event just to see Ricky but the best fight I thought was Clinton Woods

i refuse to buy a pay per view. Sky get more than enough of me to start with. Also why pay £15 or whatever it was when i can pay £2 and get a months worth through streaming on the net.

While the undercard in Sheffield wasn't strong in terms of big names, credit goes to Sky for televising the best action from it; in addition to Clinton Woods we got Thaxton, Agetovic, Smith, Dolan, Smedley and Fehintola - not exactly a who's who of British boxing of course but on PPV broadcasts in the past we've been show precious little of the undercard.

I agree. I ditched SKy when Warren left, no point having it after that.

I wonder if Harrison, Cook, Pickering, McCullough, Hunter will be looking very closely at Aiken.

Even though there would be a big size difference, it might be an easier title opportunity for Wayne than any Super Bantamweight.
