    Just wondering. Exactly how much is the fight in Britain? I understand it is being sold as PPV overthere.

    And I´m pretty sure that we as danes are getting screwed- big time- when it comes to PPV prices.

    In Denmark the price is 499 dkr. = 58,77 £ :yikes

    I understand we are not as many as brits or american potential buyers, but still, 58,77 £-really ? :-(


    Should make way for the ring announcer to make an all new speech to the danes:

    "And now-for the thousands in attendace-and the 81 people watching it at home...."



    Funny side remark. I spotted this dialogue on Mikkel Kesslers Facebook page. Translated in to english it is something like this:


    Man 1: What time is the fight? And what´s the price?

    Man 2: It around 11 o´clock-price is 499 dkr.

    Man 1: Thank You.

    Man 3: 499 dkr. That must be the cheap seats!!

    Girl replies: No No-it´s the price to watch it on the telly. It´s paper view You know!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-ffs.

    Must be that origami network showing it :happy

    Wow that price is crazy, but for £15 you can watch it online on primetimes website at http://wp.primetimelive.co.uk/
    Quality is always good so hope you choose this way to watch it to save yourself some cash.
    :D

    £14.95 on Primetime. Plus a £2.50 booking fee I think. So ¼ of what you guys are paying. That's a ridiculous price btw.

    I dunno. Probably not, but I haven't. Don't tell me you paid for the Froch-Dirrell fight? :shock:

    I did. :patsch

    That said, it was a double bill that night with Taylor-Abraham, so it wasn't all bad.

    I've never had to pay a registration fee to watch online, so I'm assuming that'll continue.

    It's not the fact that it was a terrible fight that I'm getting on about if that's how you interpreted my post, it's the fact that the channel wasn't encrypted so it was free anyway. I didn't pay and I watched the whole thing on TV.

    EDIT: I'm thinking maybe you knew what I was on about anyway after reading your post again. I forgot about the Taylor-Abraham fight which I didn't see before.

    Because of the Ip-adress?

    The worst part is not the 499,- dkr.

    But the fact that you need the right set-top box, the right tv-package and card-tax INSANE!

    15 pound is the most the fights have been in britain, no boxing fight has been past that. i think for an internet fight, 15 pound is too much. if you have a crap computer, or crap internet connection, what's the point?

    should be about 8 pound on internet, 15 at most if it was on tv
