    Does a stacked card without a "superstar" name or really big fight offer better value for money than a card that pins everything on one fight or fighter but has a poor undercard?

    Hope so, imagine if Macklin-Barker happened with this card as well.

    It was an epic night of domestic boxing with a few really good fights. To be honest with Warrens current stable the only PPVs that are feasible for him are stacked cards.

    Long may it continue, its been a great month on Sky overall.

    I think this card was a little too stacked. They can get rid of the fillers. Forget the shitty prospect fights or actually show us some up and comers. I wanted to see Gavin. I would prefer to pay 10 or 11.95 quid and they get rid of one or two fights.

    Good bill though but anti climax at the end.

    At least you got the answer right even if it was by mistake. Well done.

    I thought that tonights card was a bobby dazzler for £14:95...:yep

    I think that tonights card could and should re-shape how PPV can be made much more appealing that some stuff that we have been served up in the past...:yep

    If you like him or loathe him, you can't fault the promoter for what he put together for us all tonight...:deal

    Don't quite get what all the fuss is about to be honest.

    Charge full wack, market something as 'Magnificent' and everyone will think it is seems to be exactly that.

    Plenty of promising British boxers on show, it's great to watch and follow them, but what next, Audley Harison on PPV?! Oh wait.

    I'm just someone who thinks that PPV should be reserved for 'big fights' at best, though I'm certainly not saying that tonight's showing is any worse than a lot the PPV stuff we get served up nowadays, but that's not saying much.

    I hope so, but I doubt it.

    I thought I was a fantastic format, really enjoyed it.

    Hope it's the way forward if one fight is an anti-climax the next one is could be great.

    I also liked the way that holding/clinching was a kept to a minimum tonight.

    Well maybe you should question the Saturday night fight cards.

    If you paid for it I would be a little bit disapointed after watching it like any PPV I dont expect to see ****ing ads during the event. There should be no adds. Also Warren saying we will fight all night long if we have to. Well ask Frankie Gavin why his fight was not shown live on the bill it is a disgrace. Frankies got a better chance than Degale of going close to the top if not winning a major title. Yet in his home town he has to play second fiddle to Degale maybe Warren should of put him on before Macklins fight so Gavin can get more fans as at the end it seemed like it was begining to empty out a bit.

    Is it the way to go not for me to be fair too many pull outs for it ever to kick on. Warren was very lucky to only loose really 1 fight in his original card and Barker which is some going but if he was to try to do something like this again he may find it hard. I think maybe 1 bill a year he will get away with anymore maybe pushing it but we will soon find out depending on the numbers done if it is worth doing again.
