    The three main events are all mismatches.

    It's 4am in the morning and IMO not worth the £15 pricetag.

    Mayweather is boring as ****, Matthysse might murder Morales and Alvarez is taking on a faded, small welterweight who's been banged up several times at a lower level.

    If they are picking up Pacquiao vs Marquez III though I'm all ears :deal

    Exactly. The one's you have highlighted are the one's I'm particularly excited about.

    No really, I'm not. I defended the Mag 7 when people said it's not worth it and when it turned out to be a great card, everyone talks about it how we need more of them PPVs. If you find the thread, I was getting a shellacking for defending it. Same thing here.

    You're just a moron, to put it nicely. Amir being on Primetime has zero connection to why I'm supporting this PPV. What would I even gain from it? I much rather see Amir on Sky.

    Dunno bud. People said Maidana would murder Morales also. I don't consider it a mismatch.

    Only massive events with a British fighter should be PPV.

    I don't get why they don't use the HBO feed.

    Better, and cheaper for them.

    were lennox lewis fights PPV in America when he fought in Britain? Because thats the best comparison i can make as to why people resent paying for this fight at 4 in the morning,

    A good way of doing PPVs IMO is by doing them in price bands i.e. the way some clubs price their football tickets. Pay the top whack for the likes of Khan v Mayweather then have lower price bands for the likes of this PPV!!

    Imagine Lennox Lewis - Francois Botha on American PPV at 4am US Time and how little it would sell in a country at least 30times the size of the UK and then think how ridiculously low this Mayweather PPV is going to sell.

    Listen to the esteemed one:deal

    HBO at it's worst will be better than what Primetime can serve up.

    Decent card though.

    Amazing card. Top drawer US fights and I really like Crolla too

    Are Primetime coming on air at midnight to show the free to air fight?

    I'll probably make the decision on the ppv then
