    Please, Please, Please .... Dont watch Evander Holyfield .... He's my favourite Heavyweight of the last 25 years and its a real tragedy that he simply cannot recognise that he is now a shell of the formidable fighter he once was .. To watch a warrior like Holyfield endlessly embarass himself is just a ****ing nightmare for me .. Its like Louis against Marciano, its like Ali against Holmes, its like Jones against Calzaghe .. Its way too tragic to watch .... If you like Holyfield, put in a few DVDs of his glory years and marvel at his warrior spirit, watch him against Qawi, Dokes, Bowe, Cooper, Tyson, Mercer or Moorer .. Dont watch the 2010 Holyfield, your just encouraging his sad dangerous fantasies ..

    Im not saying its value for money but its good that they are giving people the option.
    Axl_nose if he is your favourite fighter shouldnt you be buying this to support him as everybody knows he would be well retired if he didnt have his current financial woes so isnt he relying on fans like you to buy this so he doesnt end up penniless and decrepid

    Same here. I just said "yeah ok then", then wondered afterwards how much it would cost to book each of those individually - probably a total of £20 :lol:

    I'm thinking you've saved yourself about £4... jus a guess. They did AA/Direll and Klitschko-Chambers at a saving of a pound or something:lol:

    would it be financially viable for he likes of primtime to become a £20 a month subscription channel?

    I'll watch Holyfield-Botha for 5.95

    I've been a fan of Holyfield since 1987. Now it's just a morbid fascination.

    :lol: a full £1.00 saving!! How generous of them. I was suckered into the £25.00 deal by the nice sounding women on the phone! I did'nt even know if i'd be around to watch the Holyfield fight but i said yes anyway :patsch!

    Ah well, it saves any pissing around in the future i suppose!
