    :yep Yes i agree, mickey mouse £££ chipping, they should be going all out to attract punters & instead they want you to pay them for the privalige of taking yer money with this bogus registration shite & Venusdiablo DON'T YOU ****IN DARE try & spin an explanation justifying it, When you are starting out as a tiddler swimming in a sea of sharks you should be gratefull for all & any scraps of money that comes yer way & concentrate on bulilding a core viewer base by & you don't do that by dipping the pockets of your hoped for audience.

    Registration fee:yikes :rofl not from me out of principal.

    Would'nt primetime be best off taking the £2.50 'hit' , cause once someones registered and had bought there first ppv off them , ie the Khan fight, there then more likely to buy a spur of the moment one at a later date?

    we shouldnt hate on primetime, looks like theyre doing their best to get a good team together. id love it if they got mcguigan over for it, hes quality and irish link as well

    this fight is actually now available to more people than it was on Sky PPV, i personally dont have sky so couldnt watch before but if i chose to, i could now watch it through the primetime website. So it's not all bad. If primtime had a bigger profile this may sell well, maybe this will help raise their profile, who knows?
    could end up being good for the sport

    It's a difficult one, to be honest we're paying all the productions costs - including for Khan's ring entrance and we need to recover all of those costs before anyone can think about making any money. On such short notice it's not really practical to 'take the hit' because there is no leeway. We're not doing this event as some sort of quick money grab as has been speculated, when the situation came up we wanted to make sure the event was still available to the public and yes it helps raise our exposure but it's not for cash

    Absolutely I know that - but like I say this is a huge deal for us in terms of exposure but in terms of cold hard cash not so much. It's a huge risk with a huge initial outlay on production which we lose if we don't get enough buys- that's the way it is. We have a lot of faith in Amir and his team to bring us the business but there is no guaruntees. If we hadn't agreed to do this the fight was unlikely to be shown live

    True, but there's no need to play the Robin Hood angle. We know you're a business and you have business aims. It's not going to put us off buying, the card itself is doing that.

    Was Amir really prepared to ' cut off his nose to spite his face' so to speak?

    Also , do you have anything set up to show his future bouts?

    I actually really like the look of the televised card, 4 title fights in total, Murray, Munroe and Watson are all very interesting fighters and it should be a fantastic night's boxing

    We'll see come sunday, theoretically we have a bigger reach than sky as we stream online meaning the vast majority of the public can watch... If this works well it certainely gives others a lot to think about and we're very enthusiastic about it

    This is currently a one time deal and we'll sit down in the following weeks and see where we all stand.

    Absolutely, but there's not anything approaching an even fight on the card. As the actual match ups go, it's not particularly intriguing. If you had priced it up at a tenner I might have been tempted but I appreciate that £15 probably works better for you on the whole.

    Venus thanks for the update that you are showing the above, key for me is are they live or is it a case of recording etc, you need to get a running order mate as we discussed in an earlier post. Its the difference from me, dont want to watch a fight thats taken place really, sounds crazy but takes the edge off a bit for me.

    Let us know if you can re the above and whether Hatton/Khan will be giving you a runniong order.

    Have to say good work for all the replies you have been doing, fairs fair and all that.
