    but at least it would feel like a real production, instead of something thrown together on the cheap.

    Mayweather v Ortiz is an absolute mismatch. £15 PPV for this is a **** take, but there will be some people desperate enough to buy it at 4am.

    If it was priced fairly then it wouldnt be an issue so much, but hardly anyone will want to pay 15quid at 4 in the morning (hence why those "great" khan numbers still mysteriously havent been released) , even if it is Floyd.

    Lets be honest if it did big numbers then theres no doubt these figures would have been officially published. All we had after the Zab Khan fight was Venus on here saying it bettered the Mcloskey figures. This obviously is not an official method and smells like bull**** to me he didnt even come up with the numbers. Lets face it sky did the run in for the Mcloskey fight which in the end was airedo n Primetime the advertising and build up to the mismatch of a fight led to good figures, but there was next to no build up to the Zab fight and next to no advertising = low figures. Primetime are a decent channel and bring in some good fights I will be buying this fight as I have the others but all the advertising seems to mount upto is a bit of forum talk and a few adverts on channel 5. Not good enough. I want there channel to be a success as someone needs to save boxing and bring it to the masses but come on they have to let the masses know its on!

    I still don't know how people are complaining about the pricing.

    This is a freaking top of the notch PPV, and I'm not saying it because it's on Primetime.

    Mayweather-Ortiz
    Alvarez-Gomez
    Morales-Mattyhsse
    Vargas-Lopez
    Ouali-Jones - Might be shown
    McEwan-Ouma - Might be shown

    :yep Don't know why people don't like him. His passion is bar-none.

    People just can't adapt to change.

    It's a very good card. But 15 quid is a pisstake as the main event is a bit of a mismatch if truth be told. This should have been a fiver to draw customers in for future events

    :deal

    All have potential to be cracking fights. Add to that a possible masterclass from Canelo and Mayweather will be pretty entertaining. It's a cracking card all in all.

    Seriously, the only reason why you are defending this is because Khan fights on Primetime now, pathetic.

    I will get a good night sleep instead and download a higher-quality version than the PPV for free the next morning anyway

    I think Mayweather, Alvarez and Matthysee all win comfortably. Ill not be paying £15 to watch this but fair play to primetime for taking it on.

    Cant see many people buying this at 4am when they will have only heard of Mayweather and he's boring as **** to watch.

    Plus the production quality isn't good enough for me to fork out my hard earned cash yet. I may invest in future cards though depending on if the channel continues to improve
