    Paying for it does two things for me:

    - let's me see a fight that really interests me
    - encourages Primetime to keep showing boxing

    £6 is fair. That's what? Two pints down the pub?

    How much is it to register for Prime Time before you then pay £6 to get the event?

    It might be £2.50.
    That's what it was last time I think.

    I've already ordered it.
    It's definitely worth it.

    How much did I pay for Haye-Valuev ? It was something like £15 wasn't it ?
    And it was ****, with a shitty undercard too, and shitty punditry on top !

    This Super Six thing is good for boxing. They might not be great fighters, but they are pretty good, all world-class and willing to fight each other.
    Super Six needs supporting more than Haye-Valuev freakshow "world heavyweight" paper title ...... :deal

    I think it starts at midnight (the programme anyway, not sure about the fight).
    Or you could order the repeat, they have on the next day.

    I thought boxing fans were used to staying up to watch fights in the middle of the night. Almost every BIG fight is on at that time.

    I'll probably end up watching it, the reason I was loathe to was I stayed up for Pac Cotto the other week and was wrecked for days afterwards, guess I'm getting old:-(

    Yeah, I know what you mean.
    I remember staying up to watch Danny Williams against Mike Tyson a few years ago now, and was actually falling asleep, drifting and dreaming, during the prelim fight, and had to snap myself out of it (I was on my own), prying my eyes open and grabbing a strong cup of coffee. I was wide awake during the actual fight though.

    If the fight is **** I might regret staying up. But I'd regret it more if I missed a classic which was going for £6. Sundays are for sleeping anyway. (luckily, I have no kids)

    I've got 2 who love nothing better than jumping on daddys crotch at half 6 in the morning.

    I had the coffee binge for the Pac Cotto bout, luckily once the main event started I was wide awake, JCC Jnr nearly sent me into a coma though

    Looking at the FAQ's on the site, it looks like, cos I bout the Froch fight, I dont have to pay the registration fee and can just select the ppv on Sky Box Office
