    If both fights are being shown and I could get a few friends to come round then maybe.... just maybe I'll consider it.

    How is it legal? Are you saying Hennessy Sports don't have exclusive UK broadcast rights?

    do you give Haye any chance ? I see 2 things, Haye early rounds KO/TKO, or Valuev 6-9th round KO/TKO, wont go 12 rounds .. not a chance

    That's pretty much how I feel. May change my mind though.

    When you think about it, it's amazing we got Katsidis, John, JMM AND PBF all on one card the other day and it wasn't on PPV. That said, I do subscribe to Sky Sports so I did, in effect, pay for it. I also don't doubt that Sky are trying their best to hype up a PPV for PBF's next fight.

    Anyway, I agree with you that £13 is reasonable for what's on offer. That said, I can't watch it on TV because the channel won't be on Virgin Media!:lol: Mick doesn't want my money and has chucked my money back at me!:lol: Truly terrible 'promotion'.

    Let me just clarify;

    £13 to Sky Box Office buys me both Abraham-Taylor and Froch-Dirrell. One after another?
