mayweather v ortiz pay per view in the UK?

[erics44]

cummon now

[Wallace]

It's on Primetime in the UK. Cannot see a price yet but expect it to be £15 as usual.

[erics44]

yep

i really hope people dont pay it

[Wallace]

In all honesty I probably will.

It has a great undercard and even if you consider the main fight is a mismatch £15 is not much for seeing such a great card. Obviously I would prefer it to be free but for big fights such as this that's no longer the case. What's it costing in America, $40/$50? so I still think we are getting it cheap.

My only regret is that Sky are not covering it as I prefer their commentators to Primetime.

[erics44]

its not that good

dont do it man, the more people pay for it in britain the more british people will have to pay for boxing cards that dont involve british boxers

[Wallace]

Sorry, I think we disagree on this.

I'd rather pay to watch elite fighters from anywhere than pay for a card just because it featured a British fighter. Think of some of the Khan PPV's and tell me they were value for money. At least with this fight we are watching (arguably) the No. 1 P4P fighter in the world.

Nationality doesn't come into it for me. If I think it's a good fight or card I'll pay for it because that's just the way it is and it's not going to change. Would you rather have Mayweather free and pay for Fury vs Chisora

[0james0]

I can't believe Fury/ Chisora has been brought up as a comparable for this fight. Bit of a difference.

I hate Primetime, not sure why, just do. Have never paid for one of their cards and I'll be gutted if this is on it.

Its on at 4am anyway, so I'll go bed as per normal and just download it in the morning in HD for free (Primetime is still not HD)

If I paid for it, chances are I'd fall asleep by 3.45am anyway.

I blame Khan as I do for everything in life now a days.

This might be the first PPV I have paid for in a long time.

1-For starters its on at 0400ish in the morning so even my local valley pub will be closed by then.

2-The returne of arguably the best p4p fighter in the world

3-Good undercard

4-hate watching fights on streams on the net

5-£15 is not exactly going to skint me for a 1 off

It is a slippery slope to start going down, I am in 2 minds but probably will not in the end. The only PPV fight I would watch is Pac v Floyd. Fortunately Pac fights are on sky.

Dont get me wrong,I dont like having to shell out 15 quid but that is the way things are.

A few years ago Mayweather-Judh was not shown on any British tv channel PPV or not.
