    They advertise them as £14.95, however when you actually go to purchase, the scumbags make you pay a £2.50 registration fee

    Only if you're a first-time buyer though. And it's £17.45 anyway. :D

    Degale-Groves - two novice (but talented) pros duking it out for the Lonsdale belt - that should have been on a regular Saturday night show.

    Haye-Harrison - big event, big seller and a no brainer for PPV but we got shown one other live fight and a couple of rounds of recorded footage of Davies-Hall. And this was also the moment Sky unleashed that horrible big ****in touchscreen that I was hoping would fall onto Jonny Nelsons head.

    Of course, Primetime can't compete with Sky on marketing and budgets etc. But, they can put on a good show on the night - Sky ****ed up bigtime by not getting Froch on earlier.

    On the point of Degale Groves, I completely agree it should have been a regular Saturday night show.. and would of been. However that wasn't possible. Reason being the purse bids put in by Hayemaker and friends were based ( I am assuming ) on the premise that it was going to be on a Haye PPV. They were crazy for a fight of this level. The only way ****** could compete with this was to also put in a PPV based bid. Ultimately ******s bid lost, however I'm sure you know the rest... the bid amount had to found.. PPV was the only way to do that.

    So if there is any blame for that situation, it is Hayemakers.

    Harrison-Haye... as you said, huge financial success. If anyone wants to question the quality of Haye's opponent then they can bring that up with Haye.

    Sky were the ones that pushed for the Audley fight from day 1. Don't talk wet.

    Jeez this has been discussed before, get over yourself, there is only a reg fee if you are a brand new customer so for the vast majority it's only £14.95 and unlike sky we don't charge an extra £1 for booking by phone or an extra £5 for booking on the day - beside the fight this thread is about is FREE to everyone no need to register as it's FREE TO VIEW.

    Why do you give a crap what price it it Boxing4eva?
    They set their price and they deal with it.
    No matter what Primetime do, you'll hate on them. No matter what SKY do, you'll praise it.

    Nothing to do with SKY, just that these scum bags are a bunch of unprofessional amateurs.
