    Default I have had enough of watching the Olympions

    3 fights on the Khan PPV that were never ever going to be close or competitive.


    I would rather have watched the Enzo fight or at least a fight where both boxers have a chance of winning.


    I dont mind watching 1 hand picked easy fight but 3 on the same night is to much. Pluse I had to pay 15 quid for it.

    Warren,sort it out!

    It's a good move for Warren looking down the road he PPV exposure for guys with less than 5 fights and they all looked pretty good. The way is seems televised boxing is going in the UK it looks like pretty much everything is gonna be PPV for you guys anyway. PPV with commercials no less. Not trying to be a dick mate, I understand your frustration.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I woke up too early and saw that I had 3 Olympians to endure. I promptly went back to sleep. Nobody needs to watch Warren matchmaking at 5 in the morning. Waste of time.

    So do I; but it's better than nothing. Whenever I get frustrated with lack of quality on a stream I always imagine how bad blind people have it; trying to watch it in Braille must make them go nutty

    Are many blind people boxing fans?? I wouldnt think they would like any sport really, except the grunting of female tennis players.

    I think your missing the point mate, the live show only showed three 4 round matches the Khan and Small-Hall fight, were all pissed off because there was 2/3 much better fights on the card which were not shown, by all means i want to see as much boxing as possible and i want to see these lads develop but on a card which the majoiry of us paid £15. We would rather see competitive 12 round British title fights than 4 rounders from the Olympians against the local punch bags.

    I don't mind watching big prospects early on but people want to see competitive matches mixed in with prospects in fights that were over the minute they were signed.

    I guess so, I personally would prefer to see a great prospect, than a C level fighter go at it even in a competitive fight, but I like top end guys, not just the well known ones, but the guys who are the best in the sport in general.

    The guys we missed out on were not C Level fighters, one of them is a better prospect than any of the 3 we saw, & the other was a guy who 18 months ago was a world champion & some thought the best in his division
