    What ****ing rip off.

    £15 - to see two young upstarts duke it out for British / Commonwealth honours.

    And thats pay per view ?

    Thats the standard - Sky expect - to view this - petty small time feud ?

    OK - I know Cleverly is fight for the paper WBO strap - on the same bill - but that adds no weight to the argument of it being pay per view.

    Sky - I hope your reading this - you money loving greedy ****s. :deal

    I'm not buying it - you ****ing mugs.

    All in all - with SKY - Sports - ESPN - Racing UK - Movies - Broadband - Phoneline - my monthly SKY costs around £110 - thats per month.

    Now - to view - a British / Commonwealth fight - they expect me to shell out another £15. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::nut:nut:nut:nut

    I'd like to see it - but it really aint that important to me - if Sky insist on being greedy ****s - **** them - and **** Frank Warren as well.

    I'm not going to buy any more pay per views. I listen on the Radio instead - or go out elsewhere to watch it.

    I remeber - back in the day - vastly superior bills to this - was just part of your Sky package.

    Bruno - McCall bill at Wembley - was a big one - Nigel Benn and Virgil Hill on the undercard.

    then Sky introtuced the pay per view - which was a rip off - but a major fight - Bruno V Tyson - so people reluctantly shelled out for it - cos it was a big event.

    But now - boxing has sunk so low - you have to pay per view for a British title fight ?

    Sky are ruining boxing as a sport - and just turning it into a greedy extortion.

    Thats a whole different reality - going to the real life show.

    But its got to the point - you have to pay per view to watch a British title fight - between 2 young upstarts on the telly ? :-(

    Better than all the mugs, who go to boxing events.

    And don't sit ringside.

    One more big fight would have made all the difference IMHO. But with these shows its always "one more big fight"...

    Groves
    DeGale
    Cleverly

    None of them are hardly big household names.

    TBH mate, for a PPV I'd rather 3 fights like that than one involving Khan vs. .......or Haye vs. ....

    They're clearly thinking that 3 smaller names is equal to 1 big name to sell a PPV on but I think it needs a couple more big fights to make it PPV worthy.

    If it had Murray - Mitchell and Chisora - Fury on I'd buy it.

    I bet you he buys it.

    Weren't the whole nation meant to not buy Harrison vs Haye..?

    And how did that work out...?

    Seriously, White Tiger.......i don't like YOU, or Dislike YOU.

    Thats all i'm going to say, for now.

    You're already a mug for paying £110 a month. An extra £15 to watch the Lord Of Darkness work his magic in the corner of one of his princes will be well worth it.
