    Overral I think its a shitty deal, PrizeFighter isnt ppv material, nor is Rickys lil brother vs shot Ben Tackie. As for the main event i think Paulie is gona nick a decision in a fight where Ricky looks poor and past his best, definately not a thriller.

    If I was home on me lonesome I wouldnt bother, might go round a mates house and split the cost...

    I'm buying as i always do,feel free to check my head :good

    Usually a last minute purchase for me, if im in or going out,if im going out, then its still bought.Maybe its a gamble every time, its ok to know its there if needed though.

    Yes the prices and rates etc regarding PPV etc Subscriptions etc are just a joke.

    Hairy :bbb

    If people stopped paying, they would stop charging. It's as simple as that.

    After the Khan fiasco I swore never to buy another Sky PPV - biggest rip off in history. But on Saturday night coming my kids will offer to split the cost and I'll no doubt fall for their promise. I'll then stay up all night (if I go to bed I'll never wake up) and be expected to wake 'em up for the main event. On Sunday I'll be goosed all day. Monday morning at work will be worse than ever and I'll swear never to buy a Sky PPV rip off event... EVER!

    Also, when it comes to actually footing the bill they'll plead poverty and their auld man will have been conned again!

    Out of interest, is Craig McEwan not on the undercard for this one? I seem to recall something about him stepping up against someone with a half decent record. Anyone?

    Considering what you can get fr you 12.99 a moneth on Setanta, I think Sky are being a bit naive on putting this on ppv.

    Given the state of the economy which has been reflected in poor ticket sales for Calzaghe, Haye, and Hatton - I should think the PPV sales will be pretty low for this.

    It's a decent little fight, no1 contender, and it's a fight Hatton had to do - but personally I think only a few exceptionally bouts like Mayweather/Hatton for example should make PPV!

    I may end up listening to it on the radio:scaredas: , now theres a blast from the past.

    At the end of the day even Setanta is ultimately PPV. It's just a value for money budget version with presenters equally fittingly dressed. :wink:

    I won't be buying it. Hatton's gone off the boil since he beat Tszyu and I don't think he's as good as people make out.

    The undercard is poor and Prize Fighter has already peaked and become a bore.

    I think deep down Hatton knows his time is up because he's started to do extra TV appearances and shows now. A sure sign that he's looking to build a profile for when his career finishes. Has anybody watched his TV show? What a pile of c*** filled with guest appearances by "yes" men and hangers on.

    Ok stream it, we both know it aint the same :good
