    Why, what else is scheduled on Sky Box Office Dave?

    The main event lasted 76 seconds, they spent 20 minutes off the air with a "technical error" why could they not show a couple more of the fights on the undercard?

    I know it's digusting really. They could have shown more. My signal was shite early on as well couldn't record on sky plus and watch the fight. Bloody pirates these lot.

    Somehow they predicted beforehand that the fight would be over in under 2 minutes.

    Very poor show indeed, Khan fight could have gone an hour, that's all they had time for, my arse.

    I'm disgusted by Sky. Why do people pay £15 for them to show us parts of the olympians. I don't remeber seeing Arthur v Wright or Enzo. A load of bollocks.

    Sky disgust me.

    Like I said before, too many names on the card. Less name, better fights, plus a better order of fights.

    Tonight i've basically came to the conclusion that i won't pay to watch Khan fight until he meets a world class fighter in there prime. He done well tonight but it's not worth £15. The undercard was decent tonight but sky ruined it...but we all know better by now....sky always do this. I won't pay for Haye-Ruiz...i will pay for PBF-Pacquaio but that will be it for me.

    Yup, no Arthur, no Enzo & only short highlights of the olympic boys.(although Im happy Arthur didnt get shown now;))

    Pretty bad from SKY. & whats with ads during the fights on their PPV nowadays? I remember not so long ago when you purchased a PPV fight, they didnt have ads between the rounds. Now they dont give a **** & bombard you with ads in between rounds:twisted: & to think you have to pay through the nose for this ****...

    That is what really pissed me off. I think that sky having adverts is cheeky as ****. I want to hear whats being said by the seconds during the round break.

    My Dad, comedy genius, but actually genuinely angry whilst saying this;

    "James, I thought you said we'd get to see Tony Bellew if the Khan fight ended early, if we were paying for this I'd be fuming".

    Ungrateful chipped cable ****.
