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.

As far back as JCC v Whitaker was not shown live I believe. Just do not think it is right to have to PPV these fights, we pay enough anyway.

Yes,I remember that night of crime.

A lot fewer fights where shown live from the US back then.

I state that fight because that would have been worth paying Eubanks flew over during his training camp to watch the fight live, it was that big. These fights are few and far between so Floyd v Ortiz would not be worth it.
