    :twisted: ****ing greedy *******s:deal

    I think this will have a huge adverse effect on their sales, at £10.00 I would have been all over this, but at £14.95:think I just dont think i am prepared to shell it.....

    Bollox, i was really looking forward to this too:fire

    Would you buy a round of drinks?

    Because that's what it equates to, really

    Surely something you're 'really looking forward to' is worth a round of drinks

    It's just we're used to free TV

    £15 is standard for Sky Box Office events and there have been some stinkers on that. £15 for a fight like Froch-Kessler is fair. I would much rather pay it and enjoy this on my 42" LCD that have to rely on some dodgy stream. The days of free boxing are long gone, especially for these World Title Fights.

    £14.95 is a good price. Can't see what the issue is...:think

    £7.99 and I would be in. £14.95 is too much for me. I didnt buy the Haye fight and froch v kessler isnt a fight I am that interested in to pay £15 for.

    £14.95 isnt a bad price. At least there is a channel showing the fight. After Setanta went tits up and ITV dropped boxing we were all wondering if we'd ever get to see fights like this. Primetime have stepped up and are doing the business. They are still testing the water, but at least they are giving us the option.

    It is a bit steep.Am trying to get round it with my euro satalite dish.Need a bigger one though.The price of boxing matches is just going to keep going up.I may be wrong but im sure primetime used to be about £6 for a fight.

    As long as the same people who are complaining about the price of this were complaining about Haye - Ruiz and most SBO productions, fine.

    This is a top, top quality match up. It's Sky - to whom many of us pay a fortune a month - who could do with getting behind Froch.

    Used to be? The channel has only existed for something like nine months, the price varies depending on the product.

    If Froch cant get a decent tv deal thats the fault of his promoter and managment team.

    The Froch vs Dirrell card was £12.95 if you pre booked £10 on the day
