I only booked it at the last moment less that an hour befour it stated and I am not even 100% how much I paid for it.
But IMO it was well worth the 16 quid or what ever the exact price was.
6 hours of even matched good quality fights.
When you think that most ppv are only worth watching for the main even this was great value IMO.
Enjoyed all the fights apart from the Maclin fight coz I was to pissed by then.
What do you think guys?
I enjoyed it, was a good long night of boxing. Like you said, quite evenly matched.
If/ when the next one happens I'll be buying without a doubt.
Very much so role on the 11th December I say.
16 pounds or any sum is to much to give to the weasel Warren.
whats up with frank warren?
cutting your nose off to spite your face?
id have paid if id of been free, 6 hours of high class boxing is as good a nights entertainment as any
i just hope someone doesnt decide to get married on the 11th december, that night could probably be better than saturday
didn't pay for it - first time I have never paid for a boxing event (unless I've been away) on SKy Box Office
Was a great idea but a real shame these guys can't get bigger exposure on at least free satellite
Will be interesting to see what the sales figures were - can't see how many casual fans purchased it.
Saw it online though
It was a million times better than paying £15 for one "star" fighter in a virtual gimme.
This was the Haye-Valuev "live" support - George Groves-Kanstantsin Makhankou and John Ruiz-Adnan Serin
This was the Haye-Ruiz live support - Groves-Adamu and Olusegun-Lynes
This was the Khan-Salita live support - Mitchell-Prescott and Simpson-Bell
This was the Hatton-Lazcano live support - Powderpuff-N'Dou and Watson-Matt Hatton
Barring Mitchell-Prescott and Powderpuff-N'dou those fights are worthy of Friday Fight Night undercards and the main event was crap (admittedly Haye-Valuev was a must see).
10 years ago that would have been free on sky subscription. They use to show Don King cards with Terry Norris, JCC, Trinidad with British fights all in one night. Now they just charge for a half decent domestic card. Joke. The answer is no BTW. :)
Come on Master mate, they were all bill toppers though all them fights were possibly friday fight night main events you would see over 12 months not one night, best nights boxing I have seen for a long long time.Quote:

I'd like to see the next card have even more undefeated fighters face each other. Having that 0 on the line adds to the thrill.
To be totally honest I think the £80 a month I pay to have Sky's full package in HD with ESPN should be enough to get everything and I should never have to pay extra to watch boxing. I wouldn't have to pay extra if I was a Rugby fan.
But in comparison with most PPV's it was very stacked and a good watch. Still it could have had an headline act for it's PPV tag IMO.
rjj tszyu you are getting shafted it was not that long a go when we had setanta who showed live boxing fights from the US for the subscription. Our standards and expectations have dropped. It should not be allowed.
