    i think people have different expectations for what should be ppv. i'd personally will pay for an event if it looks like it will provide a good few hours of entertainment. i'd rather pay for this then something like haye-harrison.

    PPV is normally about one big fight, for example Hatton V Pacquiao while only lasting 6 minutes was well worth £15. But in a different way I don't begrudge paying £15 for tonight's fights. All 50-50 fights (which is unlike Warren) I'm looking forward to every bout.

    Decent set of domestic fights but no HUGE fight on the bill. I will not pay for average domestic boxing. I am sure the fights will be enhtertaining and the fact all of them are being shown will make it worthwhile...but I am a tight Barnsley *******.

    Brook vs Jennings and Sexton vs Chisora are good but it is a card stacked with decent undercard fights and no headliner...this is just like two Friday night fights put on one night.

    Well, it's fair to say it's no longer the magnificent seven. More like the Sorry Seven.

    Loads of 50-50 fights and easily the best British show, on paper, this year. What else comes close? And how the original poster can not include Clev-Murat in his decent fights is way beyond me - its a British guy with huge potential against a former unbeaten EBU ruler who has beaten Campillo the ex-WBA champ. I have paid for worse bills in the past, granted with a bigger marquee fight on top.

    Lets face it, if this card was a Friday Fight night show, we would be creaming ourselves. Just over £2 a fight, seems fair. Should show Frankie Gavin's fight too at some stage.

    I think it's a more than reasonable card to be honest. Ok so none of them are for so-called world titles but it's far better value than Sky's recent pay per views (Haye-Ruiz, Khan-Kotelnik, Haye-Valuev etc). It's a packed card with 7 entertaining, meaningful fights. Frank Warren gets a bit of stick for protecting his boxers but every one of the fights on this card is perfect for each boxer and it should add up to a memorable night. All these fights could easily be spread out over the next 7 weeks headlining their own Saturday Fight Night events but having them together is special. I don't always like the idea of Pay Per View but I really hope this sells well and we start to get more packed cards like this.

    Your not a fan at all this is best british card for a while and gives the young guns a chance to shine and gain more fans outside of us hardcores.

    Seriously worst comment i will hear all day. Go and choose something else to watch like badminton.

    i don't think anyone inside hardcore boxing cares what happens to Small. Lucky he's not (and never has been) on the show tonight.
