    I only buy primetime fights if they feature a white man versus a black man. PAC vs Marquez? No chance of telling who's who with PT's picture quality

    There's no need to be nasty and unpleasant about it.

    Bloody annoying that we have to pay £15 quid for this but alas I am a boxing fan and will probably buy it :(.

    Aye you're right enough, I was a bit out of order there.

    Still though, I hope they go bust ASAP. They are parasites.

    Welcome back! It just hasn't been the same.

    I'm buying this, Pacquiao-Marquez live is easily worth £15 of my money.

    Sure, I'd rather HD but that is coming next year and we didn't mind when things were non-HD before HD had been invented, which was pretty recent, we still got some cracking fights that we like rewatching now.

    Personally, I think that many posters let us down as a community when venus comes on saying 'here's a great fight you can watch' and just gets a load of abuse. By now we all know what we all think, why do we have to get so grumpy about it?! It's a great fight, I'm looking forward to it, I'll stay in to watch it, and on a night out I spend more than £15 so I'm actually coming out ahead!

    No mate, Primetime let the boxing community down by charging us money for fights we would otherwise get on our Sky or Boxnation subscirptions whilst giving nothing back to boxing. It's not the other way around. They are parasites and leeches who bring no new fans to the sport and fleece the hardcore fans for our cash. Total scumbags.

    I was deliberately not commenting on his opinion - that is obviously his own to decide - merely the way he expressed it, which I thought was a shame and, if anything, undermined his case.



    And fair play to you for conceding the point. :good

    Nicely done.

    Fair enough, I see where you're coming from, and I am not a defender of Primetime per se, I just want to see the fights, so will buy this one as they are the ones showing it.

    I am not sure whether Sky is serious about putting forward enough money to get the big fights, and I wonder whether BoxNation will offer a fight of this magnitude within the regular £10 a month, once they go subscription. I hope so, but I wonder.

    I am not surprised that this did not go to BoxNation while they are free to air, though - the boss is a businessman first and foremost, and I doubt it made sense at this stage in BoxNation's progress.

    Guess we find out next year!

    I don't really need to add anything other than I won't be buying and I urge everyone else not to either.

    I want to hit your voiceover man repeatedly in the face with a brick, over and over again. You have lost a potential buyer on that ****s annoying 30 second voiceover alone. Otherwise keep up the good work. :good

    Used to wactch fights like these on Sky Sports HD with no PPV, viewers always get ripped.

    Primetime is a rip off.
