    Just echoing what people have said, I find it a pain in the arse to pay 15 quid. So I go to a place in town to watch it. And spend 30 quid on beer instead haha! Seriously though, if you dont think you should pay don't pay. Whinging won't change it, there's too much money to be made.

    As mentioned time and time again, I remember the Closed Circuit fights of the 80s; PPV is a huge plus in the sport.

    Some people here (perhaps rightly, but still naively) are just thinking as fans, and not putting thought into the economics of the sport. Boxing makes money with the live audience, it cannot afford to give away the big fights for free, because unlike say Football or the two grades of Rugby, it is not subsidised by a huge TV (SKY) contract.
