I think people are too quick to blame Amir for everything.

It was Sky who backed out of the PPV in what I believe to be an unprecedented decision and he and his team decided that they weren't happy with Sky's behaviour and chose to go to Primetime instead.

He's lost money as a result so I guess it was a principled decision on his part.

I think the terrestial companies in the UK are shit for boxing generally repeatedly snubbing fighters, most notable Carl Froch.

The best scenario would be if the Primetime card does better than expected and they start to establish themselves as a genuine alternative.

Fuck Sky and their costly subscription services. Anything that would break the stranglehold of Rupert Murdoch's empire would be very welcome.

I like Murdoch and admire him , his Sky subscription is reasonable in my opinion , £65 per month for HD. Whats expensive about that ?

haha that made me lol.

Only heavy hitters like Preme and his national average wage or myself on taxpayers fundings could afford such an extravagance.

Times are changing , the tide is turning , the revolution is going to happen , and if you do nothing you will get nothing, and you will also get no pity.

He will get pity from me. I'm happy to pay my taxes to help the less fortunate, and so are lots of other people. So there will be no revolution -or if there is it won't be of the type you expect.
Can I plump your cushion Bilbo?

Well if you and your do gooder friends want to pay a bit more , then I dont have to give anything , then its fine by me.

Maybe you would like a system in which you get out exactly what you put in. In which case one long term serious illness would eat up all the tax you have ever paid. So you should hope you don't ever get sick again after that. Luckily in our system the rich effectively pay for numerous peoples healthcare etc - and rightly so. The average working man probably barely covers his own costs to the system. So in effect (and presuming you are an average working man) you are also subsidised. 95% of the population is subsidised to one extend or another.
