Jamie McDonnell all ready for Primetime PPV
Saw this a couple of days ago. Wow, I can't see this doing well on PPV when Burns is fighting on Sky Sports at the same time. McDonnell isn't well known enough to be fighting on a PPV channel and your die hard fan is likely going to watch the Burns card instead. Really bad move by Hobson but maybe it was this or nothing.
That's definitely gonna be a contender for the lowest ever PPV buys. I bet 95% of people on here don't have a clue who he is.
Shame, think he will struggle anyway, but now he will not be seen by anyone doing so. I 'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing but if he pulls off the upset he is gonna be gutted that two men and a sheepdog in Doncaster got to see it.
What a crap channel and who is Jamie?
Are they gona charge £15? Everybody will just stream it
They might not watch him in the UK. But he'll be watched in Mexico. This fight is getting a good amount of hype there. It's gonna be Julio Ceja first championship
I agree with bzk that in the uk this seems like such a bad idea.
But I'm not sure if Ceja is very popular in Mexico, if he is then it'll sell fine.
Like if David Haye fought an unknown from Japan, we'd probably buy it.
Put it this way. Ceja is a lot more popular in Mexico than McDonnell is in the UK. Anyway this fight ain't PPV in MexikcoQuote:

I like Jamie, he's an incredibly hard worker in his fights, but I think he'll lose this in a Kevin Mitchell-Michael Katsidis fashion. Ceja looks a decent fighter so I'm not really sure what Hobson is thinking putting a fight on Primetime with the star of his show a virtual unknown to the average fight fan who is likely the underdog going in. Die hard fans would pay, but they're unlikely to pay when Burns (a well known fighter with Sky backing him) is going to be fighting on Sky Sports 1 for no extra fee. It is promotional suicide.
It might not be that easy. McDonnell is tough. With the home crowd behind him, him winning is possible.Quote:

About 5 or 6 times. There is no way he beat Jamoye. That was a giftQuote:

I'll make a point of seeing that now. I just assumed the decision was ok as there wasn't much fuss about it. Watch the Napa fight if you can find a copy. Napa makes him miss alot, lands and gets punished by the judges for not having any power. It was an awful decision.Quote:

How many people will pay for this on here?
About the same amount that will buy Froch-Kessler or bought Mayweather last week. None. Nobody on here buys PPV.Quote:

Absolutly shocking decision to put this on PPV. I dont know anyone who will get this in. Competing with Burns on Sky, they would have been better off putting it on yesterday night instead. Clueless promoter!
Generally I cant stand singers in the ring but that was out of this World ;D
Did Hall get the nod? Looked like a pretty even affair.
Like how the announcers pretty much ignore Ceja's body attack
The body shots are stopping McDonnell movements. But he's fighting.
VD we're watching different fights mate. You're boy is getting schooled right now Im afraid.
Great action in the 8th and 9th rounds. Close fight. Ceja up 5 rounds to 4
Come on now. McDonnell has landed some nice punches. But Ceja been going to the body the whole fight. And he clearly just took the 10thQuote:

10th and 11th to ceja.
So you gonna completely ignore the previous 4 or 5 rounds when he was made to look a bit shit then? ;DQuote:
