Will you pay ppv for Froch vs Kessler?

Are times that hard that bods can't afford 15 nicker for a genuine ppv fight?

 

im paying for this.

 

Already pay £95 per month for Sky (£1,140) per year and there is no chance of me paying another penny for any PPV regardless of who is fighting.

It all adds up when you include multiroom, sports/movies/HD/ESPN/Boxnation.

Actually thinking of telling them to stick it all if there is another increase in subscription to fund the gross Premiership Football Sky Contract of which pays over £6m per premiership match to fund £50k to £250k wages per week footballers.

Complained to Sky this week over the high subscription costs, Froch v Kessler PPV and the poor cards by Eddie Hearn particularly the cartoon prizefighter tournaments.

A total boycott of PPVs is required or even Carl Frampton's first attempt at a world title will be PPV.

 

Not a chance, although it will be a great fight i pay enough, sky/boxnation and i think its a joke how hearn thinks he can just bring back pay per view when it suits his wallet. I wouldnt pay it out of principle

 

Four mates coming over, split between us it is about the cost of a pint. Could go to the pub and watch it but I will spend a hell of a lot more.

 

how much?!

 

They are - we're in a recession.

I can, but I won't give Sky a penny of my money if I can avoid it.

It really isn't.

 

i was thinking that df,£95 a week,i think,well i ****ing hope he means a month:yepcos if its a week he is getting jobbed big time

as much as i hate paying extra for a fight i think i will this,its a top drawer fight for the world,not just brits and danes.

i may even get a ticket,one of the lads is on the case for 2 freebees,but i aint got my hopes up,he said they are like rocking horse **** and aint seen nothing like it:fire

 

I pay 35 quid a month for sky. Got a special deal with them for entertainment extra and sports. Can't see how you pay 95 quid a month? Ridiculous money to be spending on tv.

 

I'm planning on goin round my mates house, watching the champions league final then the fight, so yeah ill be chipping in for the fight.

Don't like PPV, but I really like this fight and want to watch it

 

Of course I will.

Much rather buy PPV, than have the hell of Closed Circuit.

The big fights are going to cost the fan, as boxing lacks the mainstream support it once had.

And anyone around pre SKY who used to watch Closed Circuit, I am sure have their own hellish story (no signal, a 22" TV for 300 people to watch, no sound, no beer, too much beer...). Some pubs will buy the PPV, so that is still an option for those who like that sort of thing.

As for cost, well get four mates over, and you are paying £3; a Pint costs more than that, now a days...

 

When you add on multiroom, ESPN and Boxnation on top of your package = £95 per month.

Enough is enough and Eddie Hearn can stick all future PPVs right up his crack

 

No, I just don't think a one off sporting event like that can be justifiable to be on PPV. How many sports have to pay extra to see the best compete It's a complete joke in my opinion.

In the days of Ali, or Leonard-Duran-Hearns-Hagler, fair enough ppv may well have been ok but these days, there isn't the genuine superfights to pull it off.

 

I paid for the first fight on Primetime and it was one of the best fights I've ever seen with no undercard, so I'll have no problem paying for the rematch with a guaranteed stacked undercard.
