    I'll pay for the fight. There is a good chance of this being one the best fights this year.

    But I'm not some cheap **** who would rather be miserable and cling on to some sort of ridiculous principle instead of spending an inconsequential amount of money on enjoying the sport I profess to being a 'fan' of.

    I'm not paying it. On principle I'm not supporting PPV on Sky or anywhere else. Just because Eddie decided it should be? How about **** off.

    And anyway it's only a repeat of something iv already seen. It's not Lewis v Tyson.
    Il watch it but I'm not paying.

    Yeah, agree completely. I'll be paying, can see why people get pissed off at subsidising the football so much though, then having to pay extra as soon as a genuine big fight in the UK comes along.

    You're missing the point. If the average Sky sub is £50 a month, I think it's a bit of an imposition to ask for an extra £15.

    Don't assume it's because people are cheap or unwilling to support boxing. That's a strawman argument if ever I've seen one.

    But when you see "Murdoch won't get another penny from me!" you just have to laugh at people.

    Well, it's a bit silly if you're a subscriber, isn't it?

    It's hard to avoid Murdoch's empire - he owns so much of the media. But, where possible, I try to avoid buying his news and broadcast media platforms.

    :lol:

    Well, yes. Those people tend to hate Murdoch without understanding why he's so hateful. And there are worse things in the world than him, but he certainly isn't helping matters!

    They'll probably pick the cheap option and throw on a Prizefighter for the undercard

    The undercard just depends if Sky put their foot down to try and increase the quality of PPV so it may become a viable option on a more regular basis again. ALl the money for this fight has already been made financially there is nothing to gain from putting bigger fights on the undercard.

    I dont think Sky boxing has the balls to stand up to Hearn really they have shown in the past they are ineffective.
