    its nice to have the option, it would be hard to be in manchester and dallas on the same night, plus a shade more expensive i'd say.

    None of Con's fights should have been PPV. As I understand it, he didn't sell well anyway and Sky are not interested in him that much now.

    I don't do PPV or Sky. But of those fights listed I would have been willing to pay for two or three. Hatton/FMJ & Pac and Pac/DLH .

    Long term though i still think sky see Khan as the 1 who is gonna draw big numbers in ppv sales for them. Could all go tits up on Dec 11th though i don't think it will. Beats Maidana and has a voluntary back in England, then the Bradley-Alexander winner. Sky could stand to make a fortune off those fights and credit to them they can promote a fight very well as they have showed with the time and money the have put into Haye-Harrison, i can see loads of casual fans buying that even though Haye will spark him out inside 3-4 rounds.

    I've bought them all except Khan vs Kotelnik. The Khan ones have been a joke. Pac man vs De la hoya wasnt on PPV if I rememeber correctly it was on sky 2. Cant believe I paid for Khan vs ***an...
    I grudge the Khan ones.

    Hatton v Malignaggi - not worth it
    de la Hoya v Pacquiao / Khan v ***an - worth it
    Khan v Barrera - cant remember undercard, think it was ok so worth it
    Hatton v Pacquiao - worth it although fight didnt last long
    Khan v Kotelnik - worth it
    Khan v Salita - not worth it
    Haye v Valuev - not worth it
    Haye v Ruiz - worth it, was a enjoyable scrap
    Magnificent Seven - worth it

    Havent paid for one of them. I pay enough for sky sports, without paying for ppv too.

    Watched a few in the pub, and the rest for free.
