    My Picks based on money i can shell out and also interest. Don't get me wrong i'd watch the others but if i payed £6 for all them bills i be skint so i had to prioritize.

    Couldn't agree more, Rob. If they sort a 'season ticket' out as well - which they did say they are thinking of doing when they did the interview the other day with Boxrec - then I will hapilly subscribe. £6 is a more than fair price, IMO, and I'm all for paying for it to see the big fights from the States every few weeks. They need to actually put it on the Virgin media platform for me to subscribe, though:hey.

    I would pay £6 if that included all the fights. Not £6 each.

    Seriously Bute vs Andrade in coward hype job vs tough bum.

    Jones Jr vs Danny Green = OAP vs journeyman Ausie.

    Hopkins vs bum = boring OAP vs bum.

    Martinez vs Williams = who gives a **** vs good but who gives a ****.

    Pascal vs Diaconu = Canadians.

    Klit vs Johnson = bore fest then late stoppage in bore of the year fight.

    Bradley vs Peterson = 140 are not Khan and Pac so not worth the cash.

    Juan Diaz vs Malinfaggi = Goldenboy robbery and boring.

    Pavlik vs a **** = limited white guy vs very limited ****.

    Valero vs Valequez = ok I would be tempted to watch this if it was on Sky but no way would I pay £6.


    Maybe £6 every 3 month.

    He is an OAP though. I would be interested in Hopkins if he was fighting Adamek or a top fighter but that fight is not great.

    Hopkins is marmite you either love his style or you don't. I think for a certain minority in this forum like myself i love to watch the guy but some people prefer more attack minded fighters.

    I think he can put on great performances but often he just goes out to win. Against a great fighter I would pay to watch him because you can end up watching a great fight.

    Yeah i agree, I wouldn't pay to watch his next fight as it will hardly be competitive imo. I can't have a go at people don't like watching him cos at times he can be highly negative and go to just win at all costs but in some ways that's why i respect him so much.

    I'd pay six euro to see this card:

    Main Event: Williams V Mayweather

    Undercard:
    Mosley v Pacquaio
    Haye v Wladimir Kilitchko
    Dawson v Hopkins
    Vazquez v Juanma Lopez
    Cotto v Marigato 2
    Donaire v Calderon
    Bradley v Kahn (I reckon bradley knocks him out. )
    McCloskey v Avalardo (personal fight I'd love to see to open the card)
