    Yesterday was smart by sky sports and hearn. Good card has wet the appetite and will boost next weeks numbers no doubt.

    Boxing is benefitting from sky losing the champions league and some of the premier league matches, they've spent that money in boxing, that combined with the rise of AJ means were in a real great time for boxing. I can never get my head around people hating sky, would they prefer ITV or channel 5?

    I do guarantee though that everyone on here will be watching next weekend

    It' all the bull**** that comes with sky tgat I dont like. Will watch the fight preferably on am American tv station so I dont have to listen to the nonsense.

    Good card last night but let's not pretend Sky cards have been pretty **** too recently. They put a fight on last night with hardly and notice which certainly helped.

    Onto next week and I will just avoid the hype and watch the fights

    I quite enjoyed it although Browne kind of tarnished the main event. That said, it have us a sick KO

    Good card of boxing.

    People forget or did not know how shite a lot of boxing on tv used to be.

    Hope you are not on about this PPV card on Sat as it is one sided pony - check the prices at the Bookmakers mate.

    Unless AJ has suddenly developed David Price stamina, the main event is another one sided fight against a man who never won a belt in the ring against the Champion Tyson Fury. This fight is only slightly better than the Chuckles Martin fight.

    The Sky Hype gets mugs believing the tripe that these are all tough evenly matched fights at a huge event.

    Yes it is a huge event but take out AJ and the event is no better than those at the Copper Box.

    Calzaghe v Lacy, Eubank v Benn etc on ITV - now these were proper fights, free on ITV and watched by a far greater % age of the UK population than will watch the PPV on Sat.
