    Me too.
    Actually Mosley v Mayorga was on Skysports but you used to get loads more but now almost all fights are on Box office.
    Maybe that is to do with Setanta's rise but still you don't get value for money now with the Skysports subscription as a boxing fan imo.

    £40 per month for a subscription? i know a lot of chaps on here who only had it for the fights.
    sultana give loads of great fights for less than a tenner a month.

    They are moving fights that should be part of the Skysports subscription onto PPV though.
    Even ****ing Prizefighter has been on PPV :lol:
    I think that is 'taking the ****'.

    It wouldn't be so bad if Sky Sports 1 and 2 still showed great boxing, and PPV's were above and beyond what they already show.

    This isn't the case though is it? Sky are no longer interested in providing value for money for boxing fans. They are looking to make huge amounts of money by charging extra, premium prices for normal shows. Shame on them.

    i cant see sky being able to pull this off without Enzo on the card. there gonna loose big money on this as they paid a fortune to bring DLH VS Pac over.

    They will probably show Amir Khan getting knocked out again which is always worth a watch though.

    i actually think theres a chance we could get hide in. think about it. warren has gotta sell tickets, and he has gotta sell ppv's. Hide will defo help that happen. All of you thar our 50-50 on buying the card, if Enzo vs Hide was made, you wouldn't think twice before pressing your red button and ordering.

    Warrens gotta sell tickets, Hide will getting in Enzos face will get people talking.

    Hide will not be in great shape but for 4 rounds he will make it intresting. Hide and Enzo can both knock each other out.

    Thanks :smoke
    Sky completely ****ed up with Amir Khan's deal and it's a desperate act to buy the ODLH v Pac fight to try to cover their losses on a Khan PPV :lol:
