    Nah, that's the norm for most fights, even utter sh*t like Cameron/ Hopoate. Fights like Tyson/ Lewis & Mayweather/ Hatton are around $49.95.

    It's not much to add to this thread, but even in Australia we've had Jones out here to fight Green this year, and Green's still providing a bit of excitement for the guys here who like to support a local...

    I'm always excited about boxing though, but it's a treat and really highlights how good boxing is when we get these super fights or showdowns between guys who have really been dominating their opposition in ways that would make boxing fans of any era excited...

    I as many others, have had trouble of late getting excited over the the HW division, but at least having some excitement to watch Haye try to take on the bigger grade opposition, well that's exactly where it starts isn't it? Excitement for matchups... And the more the manifest into great bouts, boxing will continue to keep it's fans and hopefully add new ones..

    The best thing for us over here is Tua's deal with Maori TV. We got the Cameron & Ahunanya fights free on national tv & I think we got 3 more to come, its been a huge boost for the sport. Pity the under cards are so sh*t!!!

    We gat charged about £15 for stuff like the Haye/Hatton fights.
    Although I suspect Sky might try and ramp up the cost if Haye fights a Klit.

    Damn shame if they do...In the UK there is radio broadcast no?....I know there is a link on my other comp to a site that plays the fights via radio announcer i believe it is just a net cast of a radio station in the UK...They do a decent job calling fights......Kind of gives me that feeling of what it was like in the 30's 40's and 50's

    That is what I do, I listen to the BBC radio 5 commentary when I stream and turn that commentary down. Normally the radio is a head of the stream which pre-warns me if anything good is comming up. Haye, Khan and Hatton are normally on the BBC radio.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Most ive ever paid for a sky box office fight is 20quid to watch lewis-tyson and even that proved to be complete value for money,

    Amazing when you think mayweather-mosley is on free to view sky yet khan-salita costs 15quid
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Thats coz only boxing fans will watch PBF-Mosley, where as hangers-on will watch Khan
