    As things stand then no i'm not.

    I'd don't see sections of the card that Sky are showing as being PPV worthy.

    Had Sky said that they'd be showing 4 hours of back to back to back to back boxing then i'd have been tempted but from what I've read / heard they'll only be showing 3 fights on the night. Poor.

    I doubt I'll buy it.

    I'm glad it's happening because I always like to see the best fighting each other domestically, but I don't even like DeGale/Groves as a stylistic matchup. I think it makes for a poor fight personally but hope I'm wrong of course. Plus I don't really like the way they're trying to hype it. Since when did not liking each other mean it's going to be a great fight?

    Cleverly/Braehmer is the only one I have a real interest in and even then it's only something like the world number 8 and 9s fighting with the winner pretending to be the best in the world.

    I think I'd buy it if they had one more good domestic level fight or they bundled it with Hopkins/Pascal.

    That said, I wouldn't call anyone a 'mug' for wanting to pay for it. I'd still pay for it over Haye-Harrison and Khan-Salita or Khan-McCloskey.

    Haha, agreed, sounds like you might be better off paying the £15 yourself!

    I'm going to the fight but if I wasn't I'd pay for it. 15 quid is not a lot now days and not if your a boxing fan. Funny thing is I think I will have to re-watch it when I get back because I think we are sat with the gods...lol

    i wont be paying for it because im a poor student but i agree this is alot more PPV worthy than alot of other recents ones mentioned. Also going on past performances we can probably see both clev/braehmer and groves/degale going a decent distance with decent action unlike haye/Harrison which was always going to be a farce.

    I couldn't take 3 quid each off my mates - i'd never live it down - i'd be called all the tight ****s under the sun!
    I'll get it - begrudgingly.

    il probably talk to all my mates about it and decide that its bull**** and a rip off and the presentation of PPV events is shockingly amateur.....


    .....then buy it half an hr before it starts on my own

    haha....i hate it when that happens...despising certain ppv's such as Haye/Harrison and Khan/Mccloskey but then paying for it half hour before the event...oh why does PPV brainwash our minds!!

    If I was on Sky I nprobably would have bought it. But then I probably would have bought most of what primetime has showed on PPV.

    I can't see it doing very well though, the only people I know that might be watching it are people I know with Sky that i can hijack and get ****ers to chip in :D

    there should be at least 2-3 other title fights on the card.
