    Someone tell Palmer. I'm sure if he makes a remark, Eddie will be startled and be losing sleep over it until he changes the price!

    Neither....you have the reading comprehension skills of a plank of wood.

    Just to inform you...I would pay 500kr without even batting an eyelid. Its a minuscule amount in Scandinavia.

    I also know that in relative terms, £18 is a small amount in the UK.

    So why all the bitching...just support this sport of ours. Where else is the money going to come from? Maybe they should all fight for free to accommodate you no money bitches.

    Brits do the same regarding Box nation...*****, *****, ****ing *****...a dedicated boxing channel for next to nothing and you are not happy. I would love that opportunity, and probably be prepared to actually pay for it.

    To be fair the reason why there is a lot of stick for Boxnation on here is the fact that the most meaningful domestic action this year on the channel has taken place on Bunce's Boxing Hour.

    You get bummed every month for Premier Greed and Champions League football. It has come at a far greater expense than £18 knicker for a one off fight.

    Boxing a still got a long, long way to go before it's matches football's level of greed. There's still some heart left in the sport. Football in the mainstream is a brand. Fans support a brand, not a club.

    How is it Eddie Hearns fault that Sky charge so much for PPV

    He has been asked to deliver a PPV fight and card to support it. What Sky charge is on them, Blame Murdoch, not Hearn

    I don't know why people are assuming that it has gone up £18. Sky explained that they put Wrestlemania up because it was a 4 hour show. The next SBO PPV (Extreme Rules) is £14.95
     
  9. The main point missed is that Sky Sports subscribers pay the high subscription costs for Sky Sports to watch quality boxing amongst other sports.

    People on here are expressing clearly that they have been very disappointed with the dog**** produced by Eddie Hearn to date and furious that we are being fleeced further by fighters, promoters and Sky with a further fee.

    We all need to complain to Sky about the shite produced by Eddie Hearn and boycott all PPVs regardless of the fighters concerned. There will be a plethora of high quality streams available to watch the fight live.

    For those mugs buying the fight, history informs us that it will not give a fraction of the entertainment seen in the recent Fury v Cunningham fight free on Channel 5.

    Feck Eddie the Eagle and feck PPV.

    BoxNation don't charge additional PPV fights.

    If you don't have a pint of beer every week, You can afford BoxNation... BoxNation bring you the best fighters in the world from Floyd Mayweather and Nathan Cleverly.

    You pay so much for Sky Sports purely because of football. Football probably represents 80% of the subscription cost. Comparing it to Boxnation is silly, as obviously Boxnation is generally better value for boxing. But try watching Premier League football on there.

    A pint of beer or watch Nathan Cleverly fight? Pint wins every time at the moment I'm afraid.

    More and more people will start looking for other ways to view. They will end up losing subscribers in the end and they will have brought it on themselves.
