    It's £15 (+£2.50) less than Primetime.

    why do people act as if the undercards something great? it has big names but none of those fights are competitive.

    i dont have sky but i can still get primetime through their website.

    we should be pleased that there is competition to sky, a monopoly is never good in any market.

    however, i wont be buying this ppv

    competition is only good if they have any influence on the sport

    neither sky or primetime are hbo or showtime they cant make fights.

    thats right

    none of the broadcasters ever attempted to make a fight, they just show it.

    Some opponent control would be welcome. I think the BBBoC create a lot of the better fights on Sky

    £15 for SD. Forget it. Also, I would expect to see the 24/7, pre fight countdown, weigh in, press conferences etc I would expect to see alot because £15 is too much.

    One thing you can't argue is that it's the best international card I've seen since I can remember!

    Unless as in this case they push the price up- this NEEDS to bomb big time- fingers crossed it will!

    Primetime are just exploiting boxing fans- £15 is a joke! A price we wouldn't have had to pay if they didn't exist!

    For primetime to be successful pick up EVERY decent overseas card, every week- get rid of the shite commentary and presentation! And charge a monthly fee- then I'd consider downgrading my sky package to accommodate primetime! Until then your going to fail- u must be making a terrible loss!

    Again, **** off advertising this overpriced and **** service on this boxing site.

    I come here to discuss boxing, not to have to read threads made trying to sell boxing fans a fight card for 15 quid that isnt worth a fiver....

    Skybet have Saul Alvarez at 1/16 to win his fight and Mayweather is 1/8.
