    Its on the Primetime website and advertised at £14.95.

    That is too expensive. I might have to give it a miss.

    Its awful that this card only has 3 fights so far. Last minute undercards are unacceptable. There is 1 month to go.

    Mayweather vs Ortiz and Morales vs Mathysse are quality title fights with big names where 3 of the 4 fights always come to fight. Where is the list of prospects on the undercard, the vets looking to regain the limelight? No depth to this card and boxing has to get out of paying for a main event.

    People who attend and purchase to see 1 or 2 fights is just plain wrong. Such is life though.

    Paying for Mayweather on PPV is insanity. He doesn’t make for entertaining fights – he’s the sort of guy you watch back after the fact and enjoy the skills, but at the time it’s just tedious. And at £14.95! Really?

    Ortiz is just at WW, beat the weakest of the champs that still made money and is so technically flawed it will be painful how Floyd deals with him.

    In fact, I can see Floyd getting a stoppage over the young man but a boring one. Yes, Floyd makes scoring a knock-out boring!

    Wtf. Can someone please explain to me how that's a awful card?

    Floyd Mayweather-Victor Ortiz
    Erik Morales-Lucas Matthysse
    Saul Alvarez-Alfonso Gomez
    Jessie Vargas-Jesito Lopez

    Seriously, what more do you expect? It's been better than any shitty Khan/Haye/Froch card in recent times, better than any recent HBO PPV Card, so why the complaining?

    Yeah, we would have got it for free on Sky, I know, but it's hard to argue that it's not PPV Worthy either, because that certainly is, and if you think otherwise, then you're just a tight fudger.

    Primetime said they're getting HD next year. What more can you do or ask?

    You watching on a stream is 'killing Boxing' more than purchasing the PPV, don't you think?

    Bit of a hypocrite in saying that, but I buy good PPV's and this is a good one.

    I guess people are just not used to having to pay for big US cards where there is no big british fighter involved. The last few mayweather fights (apart from hatton) have been included in th SS subscription so why should this be any different?

    If this is a success then with Sky pulling out of PPV(Rightfully so)it could push other promoters to Primetime and then we are left with paying PPV for a lot more cards.That is what will kill boxing in the future.
