    I think this is a disgrace. 15 quid for a non british fighter fighting at 4 in the morning is just wrong. I wonder what Sky's viewing figures for Mayweather and Mosley were because Primetime will be lucky to get 10% of those viewing figures charging 15 quid. The best thing we can do is boycott the fight and then when the ratings are so poor Primetime might realise that people aren't prepared to pay 15 quid for a fight that would usually be shown on normal Sky Sports.

    a hate this about boxing fans!, a lot will moan that it's not available to us, but when it's made available, complain we have to pay for it. Just be greatfull they are offering it to you. If you don't want to buy it then that's fine but don't encourage others do the same.

    To be honest, it has one of the best undercards ever. That is just enough for me to pay £15 for it.

    It has an awesome undercard. Brit fighter or not, it's well worth the £15 you paid to watch Wlad-Haye.

    I'd pay 15 quid if it was a better picture.

    Instead we'll get an even worse SD picture.

    No thanks, I'll download the HBO HD version on the Sunday morning.

    This is the problem.

    The card is WAY better than anything that Sky have served up on PPV since..... can't remember when.

    Maybe Lewis vs Tyson with Pacquiao on the undercard?

    This might actually be an entertaining Floyd fight so I can understand why people are interested.
