    I like tits. I prefer natural 'titties' over big monster TITS but I will no complain given the chance at either.

    Not as much as some of the dudes on here. As a general rule of thumb, I only spend money from what I've earned that I can afford to spend on novelties. I still don't know why I've never subscribed, but the money spent on Boxing News in the last 6 months is probably near £100. PPVs don't really sting me as I usually split the cost with my mate and put the rest of the money towards some tins and/or some food.

    As for merchandise, my Cotto tshirt cost £20 and I was very close to impulse buying a signed and framed Hearns picture a few months back but realised that the money would probably better spent on my financial responsibilities:-(.

    As for tickets, local hall shows aren't much kop in the depths of the West Country (**** lining Tony Hay's pockets as well) so I kind of get away with that one:lol:- if I lived in Manchester or London the kind of money that I would have spent isn't worth even thinking about:shock:; I used to spend probably well over a grand per year going to festivals and gigs all of the time a few years ago and I'm sure that figure would be eclipsed. That said, I was going to raid my hard-earned 'Canada/emergency/property' savings if JMM-Hatton would have came off, though, as seeing JMM in the flesh would have been too good an opportunity to pass up. Hoping to go to some fights in Vegas and New York as a treat for all my hard work for when I've finished mastering my trade and college in the next few years now, though.

    I have to admit £130 of my amount was tickets for my gf to cme with me to shows its a killer but necessary and shes getting into it a bit and enjoys doin the whole dress up thing for the shows. I feel there are far too many people on here though that moan about quality of FFN or there not being enough boxing on tele or boxing being on primetime etcetc but they wouldnt be arsed to put their hand in their pocket and pay for a lot of the PPV's or spend £30 to go to a show when the opportunity arises
