    It should be the original price of £14.99 for this card, how they can charge the same as the biggest fight in boxing history, in the same month is beyond me.

    It was a domestic level card, so why would it have cost more?

    you see, my worry with this is that it becomes a trend.
    each of those fights are not ppv worthy individually...i do take people's opinions that the whole card is though.
    but...if they get away with doing this....and what i mean is, if a lot of people buy it....then whats stopping them doing this as a regular thing, and then the standard of regular saturday night sky sports shows will go down as any potential half decent fight will be saved for the next PPV like this.

    That's 'progress'. Sky have pulled off one of the greatest heists in history getting the man in the street to pay for advert supported TV. It's Sky or bust for boxing, might as well accept it...

    Boxers will benefit from all the extra money sloshing about. Fans, well that's a matter of opinion...

    Just seen an interview with Eddie Hearn who said the Brook-Gavin card will be cheaper than Mayweather-Pacquiao

    12 quid this should be, can't justify it being the same price as the biggest boxing match for years.....even though it has bigger depth.....still small names really to the average fan.

    will they? the elite in football and cricket have benefitted from sky money, lower leagues down to grassroots are on their backsides.

    :nono The winner of The Special One and Funtime Frankie will make mince meat out of the winner of hype-job Mayweather and journeyman Pacquiao. :nod
