According to some of you that wasn't worth 15 quid

Froch-Kessler was always going to be a great mix of styles, we all enjoyed the first fight and this was always going to be a good fight.

But, that under card was absolutely rank. It was almost as bad as a Klitskcho under card. Grove fight was terrible, I didnt mind Bellew match because it was competitive - even if a boring clash of styles. Then the rest of the card was prospect v punchbag - with pundits then trying spin it as a great win etc. This has always been my complaint with Sky PPVs, the crap under cards. Even Haye-Harrison, it would have been forgivable if we had got a good under card. But, these corporate, moneygrabbing ****ers see PPV as a cash grab, there is no such thing as value for money or trying to put on a nights entertainment of good fights.

Put on a good competitive under card with two geniune quality co-supports and I'll be happy. But we all know Sky are pitching to the casuals - who only care about the main event, they couldnt give two shits about the boxing fans who watch all the shows, Prizefighters etc.

 

We are in the middle of a recession ...

£15 puts heat in a house for urm .... 3 days ??

Personally ... after paying £15 myself and watching the fight, im not left with the feeling it was not worth it.

Great fight and full credit goes to both fighters.

 

22 quid in Ireland, doubt they got more than a few hundred buys here if that at all. Watched Bellew on a stream, awful fight. Then I went out so missed Froch Kessler, seen few highlights, not even bothered watching it back now I know the winner.

 

This fight only seems value for money because every other Sky PPV for the last 6 years has been a joke and a complete robbery.

The commentary and punditry on Sky is absolutely awful. Compare it to America. Even compared to boxnation its utter shite. Jim Watt, Mcrory and other clowns talking utter bollix for 95% of the time, the rest is adverts between rounds.

 

i saved me money.

watched the champs league final.

listened to it on the radio like the old days.

bought some froch ppv's when he was on primetime.

when shamefully sky didn't pick up the fights.

he's a millionaire a few times over now so i wouldn't feel too sorry for him. :yep

 

**** thread but then again I expect nothing less from a Sky employee.

 

:deal

 

well we know with your politics Rob being a liberal is a very bad thing

anyway, boxnation is still better

"that was worth every penny!" pshhh it wasn't that ****in good, the tenner I spent for boxnations april alone spits in the face of 15 quid to watch froch and kessler fight for second place

 

Get ****ed, you four eyed ****.

 

Write a protest letter to the Times

 

I have no doubt people stream for the wrong reasons and stream because they can.

But I can guarantee some people stream because they don't want to give a penny to the Murdoch monopoly.

I'd have happily given Carl and Kessler a grand each of my own money for that fight. Fighters in fights like this don't get enough, even if they made millions from it and they have. They deserve more.

£15 for a PPV and card like that is a joke. But I'd have happily gone to the fight and paid top dollar for that Froch-Kessler fight. Happily. What an atmosphere and event that must of been. TV didn't do it justice and for those people saying it was worth £15....then you might aswell have stumped up a bit more and gone to the fight, something you will always remember.

Didn't seem like there was any trouble in the stands either! Most of the time pissheads start scrapping, but it seemed that everyone there was enthralled and captivated by the fight. Thats when you know its a good fight!

Hope you all enjoyed it!

 

Big difference between 15 quid and going to the fight Craney.

Ticket cost is a lot more than 15 quid.
Cost to travel there and back is a factor.
Time to travel there is a factor.
Price, quality and time for getting a beer from my fridge v beer at the stadium.
Price, quality and time for getting a bite to eat in my house v what is on offer at the stadium.
Ease of going for a **** in my house v stadium.
Risk of sitting next to a loudmouth pratt while at the fight.
Time I get back home is a factor.
Would I need a hotel?
