    Crazy by Hobson..... BoxNation getting a lot of attention at the minute, surley it would have been better letting them have it then Primetime..

    Will it even do 100 buys?

    Why not just stream it over YouTube or something?

    Its a bit of a funny situation its a shame really. He will most likelybe losing money by televising this at best making a few grand. Is it really worth it? Might as well have given it away for free to Boxnation.

    I have to admit though its unfortunate that a good fight like this isnt going to be seen by a larger audience. This could have been done better.

    I wouldn't even pay 10.95 for this if my brother was Jamie McDonnell.

    YouTube wouldn't have been a bad option or via some U Stream app which is viewable on a smart TV.

    Jesus lads you're all acting like tight arsed ****s ****ing hell, its only 11 quid to see a young Brit fight for a world title. I'm not even British and I'm gonna buy it because McDonnell is a quality fighter who deserves support, he's earned his shot the hard way winning British, Commonwealth & European honors while always being in good scraps.

    The lad deserves the support f hardcore boxing fans

    Got to feel for Hobson though - he's tried to get on Sky but they're batting him to Hearn.

    Feel to Hobson up to a point but he must have known the TV situation before he made the fight, he can whinge about Hearn all he wants but the Burns fight was already booked.

    And there's no reason Sky couldn't do a double-header, surely?

    This is a genuine world-title fight and it's being consigned to a tiny audience. It's a better fight than the Burns fight - I thought that was the point of Eddie getting all the dates, to improve the consistency.

    I'd rather stick a tenner so far up my anus that it was covered in brown then pull it out , microwave it and eat it than pay for this.
