I don't think that a conscientious decision to "boycott" this ppv is necessary. its going to get **** figures either way.
this is actually a great line up, but i dont think it should be PPV simply because no Brit is involved. They should at least try get a UK leg?
Hell no!!! I will download it a few hours later. I aint buying nothing of primetime. Download for free and in HD.
Kinda surprised at the criticism of this on the forum. Sure it's obvious why everyone's pissed off because normally this would have been on a regular Sky Sports channel but it's still a way better pay per view than any I can remember in ages. This will likely be better than all 4 of Haye's put together and Amir Khan's have been even more laughable because he's now had over half a dozen pay per view bills and about the best was Khan/Kotelnik atsch Still I'm not buying it :deal
They can **** off. If we buy this then we're sending a message to US promoters - that UK fans will lap this **** up and pay £15 for it. It may look a good card on paper but... Floyd/Ortiz - Ortiz went life and death with Berto, couldn't put Lamont away. Floyd will toy with him. Morales/Mattyhsse - Maidana flattered Erik, Lucas is much more rounded and he'll probably beat Erik up :-( Gomez/Alvarez - remember when Cotto fought Gomez? He absolutely brutalised him and that was at welterweight. Canelo's just going to beat up on Gomez. Gomez had a close fight with Soto-Karass down at welter and Canelo is a big LMW. Vargas/Lopez - good fight, Vargas is an up and coming guy and Lopez is on a solid run but is this any better than some of the headline bouts on ESPN FNF? The card may have a shitload of names on it but not many even fights IMO. And it's on at 4am with Duke McKenzie commentating. Is it really worth £15?
I'll download the 24/7's as well as least I get them in HD even if primetime do put them on for free.
Just can't believe people are justifying this. If they one day make Mayweather/Pacquiao I will buy that on Box Office or Primetime but not this. A new low
In what way is it worse than Khan v Judah and Khan v McCloskey totalling £32.50? I'm not supporting it but there have been way, waaay worse.
Don't talk ****, you aren't buying this in a million years. If you won't pay to see your idol Khan I know this is a different case, but as I said the other day, if Sky won't do PPV, boxers and promoters will go to somewhere that does. This could set a dangerous precedent for any old card from the States to go on PPV. I'm not happy about this at all.
And I didn't buy any of those as well. Just cos this is a bit better than what we usually get doesn't me we should buy it. Those Khan PPV's should not be used as a yardstick.
Its 4 in the morning. I'd buy it for 4.95, maybe 6.95. Saul Alvarez isn't on the card, its in another place. Will they be showing 2 shows on this PPV? I don't know.
Fair enough. Like I said I'm not justifying any of the pay per views, they've all been pretty **** in general, only the Mag 7 one recently I've enjoyed and even then it was a bit too fishy Oh and the 2nd Mag 7 one which was saved because of Khan/Maidana. I just find it interesting how a few more are kicking up a fuss to stop this being PPV yet there weren't as many complaints about David Haye's pretend run as heavyweight champion costing £45 on SBO for fans to pay another £15 to watch him do effectively nothing against the champion. This card isn't that great I agree, all the fights are really one-sided IMO
