    Pac-DLH card is worth the money Enzo-Banks would have been a nice bonus.

    Pac-DLH
    Ortiz-Resto
    Juanma- Medina
    Jacobs-Lares
    Harrison-Rogan
    Khan-***an.

    Not Bad for £15

    £15 is not really a lot for what would have been Enzo, Nicky cook, Khan and ODLH, i was really happy with this, people in america are payin $60 (about 40-45 quid) to watch ODLH and a poor undercard

    Yep, it's actually one of the less pisstakey Sky Box Office cards ever. Especially when you consider Maccarinelli/Banks and Cook/Foster were supposed to be included.

    You are joking, right? This is utter shite. Pac v DLH is a gloryfied exhibition match, whilst Harrison and Khan are just domestic level fighters in substandard fights.

    The standard of PPV's is sinking to new levels. What boxing does Sky show that's included in the subscription? Not much at all.

    We're being ripped off to start with, no need to throw more money at the greedy c**t*.

    The Pac vs Oscar undercard is pretty poor too.

    No im not joking. I never said it's the best card or the best ppv ever, but considering the normal shite sky put on show for 15 quid, seeing Juanma,Ortiz,Pac,ODLH,Jacobs,Khan,***an,Rogan and Harrison is more than decent for the money and considering it was going to include Enzo,Banks and Cook i cant see how its sinking to new low levels. Its far better than the last Khan card and Hattons ppv card.

    You're kidding right?

    Ortiz and Lopez are great fighters, a poor undercard was one like the Hatton fight.

    No, I didn't. That was just as much of a ripoff as this pile of garbage.

    PPV boxing in this country has traditionally been reserved for special occasions. Now it applies to what used to be regular shows covered by the regular subscription fees (which are not cheap themselves).

    This show is a very long way off being a special occasion.

    Completely agree with Claypole.
    Paying the Sky subscription as a boxing fan nowadays is pointless.
    There used to be live fights on Skysports 1 and now we get **** all bar the Friday domestic fights.

    Sky takes the **** no doubt, but i cant see how people are worked up over this card compared to the last few.

    Wasnt Mosley-Mayorga on Sky?
