My take on the Amir Khan SKY PPV robbery!

[Darth_Simasu]

(I appreciate there are already a couple of threads on this topic but I think it would be worthwhile to show anyone in the boxing business who visits this site just how pissed off the fans are regarding the matter).

Frank Warren and Sky Sports are a disgrace for making fans pay £15 to watch this fight! I was shocked and saddened when I saw the adverts in the week promoting this PPV!!

Boxing has been ruined for me this year with the rise of Setanta and so many homegrown fighters being shown on their subscription channel. Who would've thought I'd be wishing for the days when fights were shown on Sky and the odd superfight being PPV to be back again (I always used to pine for the days of ITV covered boxing to be back again). I resented parting with my hard earned £15 back then but I did because it would be an unmissable fight between two stars of the sport. However in 2008 you're paying for your TV Licence > Sky Subscription > Setanta subscription (personally I don't out of principle and not affording it) and finally Sky PPV before you can watch a bog standard fight!!! All this to watch a fighter who hasn't yet proven he's the best fighter at his weight in England (Kevin Mitchell, John Murray) yet alone Europe or the world!!

I'm tamping about this because the sport I love I'm resorted to scouring youtube for shitty clips as opposed to a night in with my pals and some beers.

Unless David Haye is seen to challenge for a world title against a top heavyweight after Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe retire I can't see me following boxing as closely as I have done in the past

FUCK WARREN AND FUCK SKY SPORTS! Shame on you.
