Which fights/ Fighters would you actually pay to see..... After the recent PPV piece of **** cards who is worthy of your buck? Who is worth paying £45 for? Me i'd pay for Valuev - Haye..... Hatton - Khan.... Cotto - Pac..... Mayweather - marquez...... Klitschko - Klitschko..... Khan - Witter...... I'd be a bit pissed about Witter-Khan, Klit- Klit and Marquez- Mayweather just because I don't feel they're that attractive action wise.... however i'd pay to make them happen. There is zero chance of me ever buying a PPV on sky other then this..... If they think i'll pay for Khan-Morales etc they can kiss my semi irish arse.
I'm on the same boat as you Jeff, I'd also pay for the Cotto/Pac winner vs JMM/PBF winner, Haye vs either Klit, Vazquez V Rafa Marquez 4 and probably a good few others.
With Khan it depends on the undercard and who he is facing. Haye I will pay for. World class 'superfights' like Mayweather vs JMM and Pac vs Cotto I will also pay for.
its not just about the main event. any UK show should have a top US card follow on. Any US Card should have a decent UK card before. This way you get 6hours plus of viewing. the Khan card we paid £5 an hour. Its a joke. We should have at least 2 world title fights or better (hatton vs pac not world title but better) on each card, and at least 3 domestic euro title fights. Minimum of 6 live fights.
:rofl seriously though last Saturday if they'd have shown all the fights ie. Mitchell Enzo Smith Hall/Small Saunders Gavin DeGale Khan and it would have been live.....Would you not have been tempted Jeff
Personally, I'm a sucker for watching fights somewhere comfortable, like on the sofa, and I would rather watch a UK PPV card on TV than on a stream. I usually split the cost with my mate and that means I only pay 7 and a half squids so I don't have much of an issue debating it really.
Froch - Kessler Froch - Pavlik Haye - Klitschko (either) Hatton - Khan Mayweather - Pacman I'd probably fork out for these... £45 is a bit steep though. Also, not that I'm trying to give Sky ideas but I'd consider paying something like £50 for a season ticket for this Super Six Series to see all of the fights. They could really go to town on something like this.
Jeff did you get my PM or had a look at the becoming a trainer thread. I've found a course which wanted to know if its a decent one ?
i think Sky should scrap sky box office and sky sports xtra, and introduce a premium sports channel, and additional amount each month or you by events as a ppv.
Absolutely not. Its not about the money- its the principle. I'm lucky £15 doesn't mean a great deal to me. Lets lay out the facts here... Mitchell fought some unknown black dude.... can't even remember what country he was from. Beating him has done nothing to change my opinion about Mitchell. The match was a risky waste of time. What if the foreign chap had have won? He had no form of note Mitchell may has well have fought Danny Thorpe again. Pointless match. Enzo fought a world rated largely unknown quantity and got smashed to pieces. Did we know that was going to happen? No... did we really care if Enzo won or lost? Not really. We wanted him to win but if he had have won by a KO in 1 second whose to know how good or bad this russian was? He may as well have fought Tony Booth. Pointless, stupid match. Paul Smith... Cracking fighter.... really, really good to watch. Who was he fighting? Some russian dude, some slovakian? I Don't know who he was fighting but he just added 10 rounds of wear and tear on his body and for what? a plus one in the win column? Why isn't he in the Dodson-Quigley-Magee mix.... they say he is... but he's fighting zerkkei zamstenenberger.... This lad should be up there with the top names in the division but he has spent most of his career maeking time. Pointless, stupid match. Hall-Small.. great match. Both had form going in, both came for the victory not the pay check. Small spiced things up by acting a tit. Brilliant. Hall paced the ring at the start of the fight and Small stood there with all his trainers next to him... it was a surreal start to a quality DOMESTIC match up. Stick that on at the velodrome or Bethnal green and they would have had the limelight all to themselves instead of propping up a sub standard bill. The fight saved the show. great fight, great match up. Saunders - can't remember..... Fair performance. Think it was a british guy. Horrible mismatch, typical overmatched journeyman stoppage. plus one in the win column should have been the walk in fight. fair match at this stage. Scriven is a tough campaigner. Fair play.... not a chief support bout. Gavin boxed well same as above, his opponent gave it a good go but who was he.... handpicked for his lack of any outstanding attribute. Fair match not a chief support. Degale- Irish chap. As above step in the right direction (UK opposition). Someones listening. But not a chief support on PPV. Khan-Kotelnik- good match up on the fringes of a pretty empty division in terms of established talent. Not PPV worthy. Not particuarly entertaining. Well boxed but I think 2 more performances like that and Khan will turn into the Vladimer klitchko of the light welter weight division. Stealing fights. Impressive once or twice but if its going to be like that every time i'll catch the repeat the week after. That is the truth.
