    £18 is too much but the WWE cards are usually £18. Hopefully the boxing remains at £15. ****ing cheeky to return to PPV with it costing more.

    I'm already preparing to lose my **** when they show an advert on something I've paid £15 to watch!

    They aren't showing the price in the PPV adverts which is strange three weeks out from the fight.

    :huh what have Americans got to do with this?

    I said the UK has a low consumer index compared to the rest of Western Europe (with the exception of maybe Germany), so why you complaining?

    Where I live in DENMARK...the fight is on 'DANISH' ppv for 500 crowns (approx 55 pounds).

    Clear now?

    Why do you seem happy about that? 55 quid for a fight is a ****ing joke. Tickets to go see it live are cheaper than that FFS

    Its not the fight of the year by a long shot...what it is is two very well matched also rans in a division having a pop at each other. To be PPV worthy at least one of the p4p top ten has to be involved, I can see a well matched fight down the pub most weeks, but I don't have to pay over and above the beer price to see it.

    Uhhh...thats the point, I should be the one complaining, not someone who is getting it for peanuts...like £18.

    The 50 quid tickets to see the fight live are a far bigger rip-off than the ppv price...you wont see ****, you may as well watch it on TV.

    I know Rob under rates your analogies, but that was a damn good one. And I agree with you on this PPV, its not PPV worthy and I cant see it doing well either.

    I wouldn't pay 55 quid to sit in ****ing outer space you ****ing dull imbecile.

    That's where all the unintelligent idiots like you sit, booing national anthems and scratching their ****** heads wondering why they cant see the fight.

    When you get promoted at Macdonalds maybe 18 quid wont be such a big deal to you. :dead

    Who's the real idiot though? I'm not the one paying 55 quid to watch this. FIFTY FIVE quid. Where's the line? 100 quid PPV? 150 quid? Your a mug paying more for a PPV than a ticket for the actual fight costs.

    Plus Froch is going to KO shopworn Kessler. 55 smackers to watch Froch-Kessler is a ****in hold-up. You would need to be a full blown ****** to pay that.

    If you are used to paying that sort of money, it's not an issue because you know it as the norm.

    Do well at work and I'm sure McDonald's will promote you and you'll be able to afford 18 quid without moaning.

    So your watching it at the pub because you can't afford/won't pay the extortionate prices. And I'm the cheap one because I'm only paying 18 quid? Il pay it because I want to see this fight and I can afford it. Many others can't justify it. You as well by the look of it
