    Where can you get one of those?

    I subscribe to BN, used to get it from the newsagents every week then found out it would be quite a bit cheaper if I subscribed :lol::lol:

    Used to buy career sets and that but now just buy blank disks, download and burn. Don't buy every PPV, only the really big ones. Would have gone to Haye-Ruiz if not for people bailing out :twisted:.

    Bought a couple of pieces of memorabilia this year which cost at most about £20. Buy a boxing book every now and then.

    Not a lot really compared to most of you lot.

    I used to spend quite a lot although i've cut back now. I have a large collection of boxing DVD's, books and other sweet science related stuff. Most of the chedder i spent on boxing was going to shows, but i haven't attended a card for a while especially overseas (the last one was Winky/Hopkins) Mitchell/Katsidis will be my first of the year.

    Over a year I probably spend more participating rather than watching tbh. I just spent about 60 quid on dvds, going mitchell-katsidis and that's it I think. I watch FFN on sky but I'd have those channels regardless or I stream/download fights. Was debating whether to decorate my room with some memorabilia, but decided against it. There isn't much I can afford atm though.

    considering I make very little money as I only work the school holidays and I spend all of it on boxing.

    Dad pays for Sky Sports and Boxing News and Monthly subs.

    I pay for all the PPV (halfs wie my brother). Blank disks and postage for trading. 4 books a year at about 20 quid each. Boxing DVDs about 300-400 quid, all myself as well.

    How much we spend on boxing has nothing to do with the lack of mainstream coverage, there isn't currently a personality in British boxing that transcends the sport and ignites the interest of the casual viewer, the closest in British boxing currently are Haye, Khan.
