Was the Mag 7 show worth 16 quid on PPV???

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.

The fact they were mostly well matched made the night. Some cracking fights happened.

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.
