Sky not showing Enzo, Mitchell, Brook and Smith

[robpalmer135]

If i am going to pay £15 at least show than 2 fights plus the Olympians. I really couldnt give a fuck about an over weight gypo and and chav Gavin.

:patsch What a cock !

Glad i'm going now though would be pissed if I was paying £15 to watch it and they didn't show everything

[LHL]

Well im not getting it in now cheers Rob. Who wants to see these 3 when Macca, Brook and Mitchell are all on the card.

The way i was looking at the card i wanted to see:

Small Vs Hall
Khan Vs Kotelnik
Macca Vs Lebedev
Brook Vs Lomax
Olympians
Mitchell (mainly because its looking like a mismatch)

[GazOC]

Disgraceful.

[ishy]

Maybe they'll show it afterwards if the other fights finish early :think.

Still a shit/gay move though. Twats.

[chrisfinch]

They are just showing the Olympians, Small v Hall and Khan live. It doesn't mean in the slightest that they wont show Enzo, Brook etc. its just that they will be on after the main event.

Don't forget Sky's show is on till 1am, there will be plenty of time to fit everything in. If Brook and Enzo both go 12 rounds, which I highly doubt, then there will be trouble.

Sheesh, don't panic. Its like everybody is waiting to jump on the Sky boxing hate bandwagon.

[LHL]

They only showed highlights of Rogan vs Harrison one time i felt like crying thats why i paid for the card :lol:

[Ilesey]

Why the fuck ANYONE is seriously paying 15 bones for this shit is beyond me.

['Ben']

I find this hard to beleive.... Brook ve Lomax is a very decent test foe brook at this stage of his career, Enzo is fighting a decent world rated propect.... not realy botherd about Smith and Mitchell as they're not fighting anyone you would likley know of..... but if this is true then sky need shooting!!!

Sounds about right to me.

[SouthpawSlayer]

wasnt gonna buy it anyway i already purchased it for about 50 cent and after reading this thread i defo aint buying it, plus you cant record sky box office which really pisses me off

[Losfer_Words]

Why? For fuck's sake I was looking forward to the undercard. Well done Sky, short change us all again.

[pathmanc1986]

well done fella's, uv just convinced me this is a farce of a card. bad enough to have someone of khans level fighting on ppv (which should be reserved for multi weight champions/ unifications/ proven world champs) but to water the thing down by removing some of the talent REAL boxing fans wanna see is just taking the complete piss

[chrisfinch]

Yes you can record off sky box office, at least with sky+. It just deletes itself after about 21 days.

And seriously why all this fookin hysteria? As I said earlier, its just that they are only showing the Olympians, Small v Hall and Khan live. Everythgin else will be highlights after the main event. I can't see the Brook, Enzo and Mitchell fights lasting forever so the chances are most, if not all of those fights will be shown.

What really pisses me off is the short sightedness and blatant hatred of anything Sky do on these forums. Its like most of you folk haven't got anything better to do. Sky's Boxing coverage is far from perfect, but the fact is that in a couple of months they will be the only UK broadcaster showing regular live Boxing.

Nobody is telling you to watch Friday Fight Night start to finish every week, nobody is forcing you to buy Sky's PPVs. If you don't like it, fine then don't watch or buy it-but don't remind us at every opportunity. There's more to life than criticising evey little thing Sky does.

EDIT: And wheres the proof that Sky will literally not be showing Enzo, Brook and Mitchell at all. Gotta love how something robpalmer says, presumably after he's seen the TV advert is taken as gospel. Nobody will know for definite what they will show until after Khan's fight has finished and how long is left on the show. It only takes the slightest thing to wind up the sky haters, and robs comment has done that.

[Bodysnatcher]

Very shocked at this. Un-fucking-believable really.

Nothing wrong with paying customers being annoyed that their money doesn't get them some pretty-significant fights on a PPV.

[Dan684]

FFS Bodysnatcher, read up ^^ Sky will more than likely show them just not live.

[abzmanc]

For what possible reason would they not show all the fights? its f'ing bollocks. Good job I'm going to the MEN.. id rather see a few more fights than the guys in studio chatting nonsense.

[Bodysnatcher]

FFS Bodysnatcher, read up ^^ Sky will more than likely show them just not live.

Ah, gotcha. That's different.

[leighton]

The Olympians there fights will be walk overs and should be shown later that night. The likes of Mitchell and Enzo live is the way most of us wanted it as they could well be fighting for World titles in the next 12 months. You want to watch decent fights live before the main event. Most people will switch off after the Khan fight so they wont watch the recorded fights. I wont pay for that shit will watch the fight.

[Losfer_Words]

So just to be crystal, which fights and in what order do we get to see them live? I might be able to fit in the Hennessey card if the Sky panel are just gonna blow smoke up Khan's ass for an hour.

Whos fighting on Hennessey bill?

[Losfer_Words]

Whos fighting on Hennessey bill?

To quote Rob, 'the fat gypo' and the 'chav Cleverly'.

EDIT: Wrong end of the stick- Rob was on about the ****** card! Cleverly and Fury are the main draws on the Hennessey card.

[rockandrollstar]

Thaxton fighting a bum too

[bored]

All the fights have the potential to end early anyway imo.

[mike464]

I was hoping to see Enzo knocked out again. If there's no chance of that I'm definitely not paying for it.

[colinthfc]

Not decided to pay or not. I may start on ITV4 then click onto J ustins house at 9

[punchdrunkgench]

i find it almost unbelivable that people are standing up for sky a ppv card should run from the momment the first fights on thus giving value for money and a chance for all the fighters to get showcased its a disgrace that this is not the case, i mean what are we going to get enzo,mitchell etc fighting whilst sky run and re run mini documenatrys on khan and then hope the fights dont go the distance so we catch the highlights im still paying for it because i have imvited mates round but im not impressed

Fair point, but I'd hardly call most of this topic "discussion". A lot of posts are a sentence or two of swear words aimed at Sky:nut

Personally I don't think this card is PPV worthy-but then I don't think much is. Why, on top of the £45 we pay, should we be charged extra for Box Office? This is Khan, a fighter who a year ago was fighting on terrestrial TV.

My point is though, rob has started this topic presumably after seeing the advert and presumed cos it doesn't mention Enzo etc. that they won't be shown at all, which is ridiculous-no source. After all Friday Fight Night usually only advertise the main event, yet show plenty more.

But of course, the anti-sky brigade are right there jump on with their "fuck sky, i was only gonna stream it anyway" yadda yadda yadda.

It ain't discussion, its just ammunition to wind up the anti-sky people, which seems to be the majority of this forum.

Nobody has any proof that sky won't show these fights, people are just jumping at the opportunity to bash them.

i agree that some/most people love a moan at sky at the slightest oppurtunity however as you will see from my post im still buying the fight but i think these premium nights should provide the chance for up and coming fighters to showcase there talents and expand there fan base and its a real shame if this isnt the case as the fights are sacraficed for documentaries building up the khan fight

[Chinny]

The Enzo and Brook fights are actually decent match ups so I'm sure they will be shown live.

If not, why are they on this bill as they are much better than most FFN's, and ****** is basically on record as only givin a cr&p about the live audience to the extent that they provide sound effects for TV

Rob you are generally good at starting threads with fresh news but at times you do spout rumour as though it is fact! If you turn out to be right I'll apologise to you.

Thats a good point. The format for the Barrera fight was Cook on live at 9, followed by Enzo, then Khan at 11. Cook and Enzo were done really early, leaving about 45 minutes before Khan came out. As I was at the MEN that night, I dunno what sky did for those 45 minutes. But I'd imagine they showed the same vidoe packages aired on the countdown shows during the week that the people buying the PPV had already seen, at least thats what they did on the Hatton PPV. Now why couldn' they have showed Vassell, Smith, Crolla or any of the other prospects then-apologies if they did, I'm just presuming they filled the time with talk and promos.

But when you pay £15, surely you should see the whole show live. As in all the fights, right from 5.30/6.00 or whenever they start. Most of them are filmed and have commentary done to them in case of early finishes so how hard would it be? Its on PPV so wouldn't disrupt the schedules, would give more Boxers the opporunity to shine, and give the viewers better value for money. Boxing is one of the rare sports where you actually see lots more action by going to watch it live, than seeing it on the TV.

[Little Tyson]

Good thing i got my tickets to see all the fights then.

[jspain]

the problem i have is sky will propably repeat the khan fight on the thursday following the fight. thay could fit in what they dont show then but they will propably show the same fights again instead of showing us the ones we have not seen. the point is though for ppv we should be getting to see all the decent fights even if that takes 5 hours. the show will propably end before 1 propably sometime between 12 and half past.

the ironic thing is if we got to see most of the card it propably is ppv worthy and more people would buy it. 8 fights would make it a good ppv, 5 fights with 3 propable mismatches makes it a poor ppv imo.

[digregorio1.]

where are people getting this from that their not showing enzo and brook cuz iv not seen or heard anything...and on the Sky Sports website listed under their fixtures for July 18th they have the olympians first, then mitchell, then enzo, then brook and hall/small, and Khan so to me it looks as though they will be showing it.

So if someone can tell me for sure i'd appreciate it cuz it will help my decision on wether to buy it or not, thanks

[Grant1]

Isn't this a good thing :huh

The only reason they are doing this is to not clash with the ITV4 card isn't it?

[robpalmer135]

no theres a direct clash with itv4

[rhinocoote]

i really want to see the cleverly fight on itv4,but don't want to miss hall/small.
does anyone know if their fight times clash directly??
also,i am not making a judgment on the sky coverage until i have seen what they show.i think saying "jumping on the hate sky bandwagon" is a bit strong.it is only people who PAY for the bill ,on top of paying for sky sports who are a bit concerned that they are getting fleeced and cheated out of what they supposedly pay for (me being one of them!_).
also having limited choice of boxing coverage these days,i am truly ecstatic that we have two big bills on one night!,especially after the recent spate of pulling-out and injuries.i think it will be a great weekend for the sport and we must support it full-heartedly.
done.

[Flea Man]

They only showed highlights of Rogan vs Harrison one time i felt like crying thats why i paid for the card :lol:

no they didn't they showed the whole fight :patsch

[saturday_kid]

no they didn't they showed the whole fight :patsch

They did the night it was live but when it was replayed they only showed just over half the rounds just to accomodate showing the olypians in full.

This is the reason that is pissing me off with this card too, dont get me wrong I want to see the olympians progress but not at the expense of seeing some quality domestic match ups for respected titles. Imo if anyone the olympians should be shown afterwards, their fights are likely to be one sided 4 rounders whislt the fights like Lomax Brook, Small Hall and Enzo Lebedev are likely to be a lot ore competitive.

Why they cant just show the whole card though is beyond me. The more casual fans will likely tune in just for Khan anyway, and I doubt any of the hardcore boing fans will complain if the PPV starts a few hours earlier with more fights shown live.

[antcull]

Must be ******s call as he wants to build up the olympians best he can, terrible call. I won't be buying it now.

[trotter]

It would make sense for them to show the whole lot. Simple as that.

Most people mightn't watch them all but there's plenty who would.

If you are asking people to shell out £15 then show them the whole fucking bill. It can't cost THAT much extra to do.

I will be really pissed off if I don't get to see Brook in particular.

[JIM KELLY]

Ok why? we usually get like 4 or 5 fights.Kevin Mitchell is a popular fighter in domest level..so whats up with that??

[Chinny]

Rob I think you are right that SBO will only show 5 fights live, unless my ears are playing tricks I thought I heard the countdown show say that only the 3 Olympians, Small v Hall and Khan v Kotelnik are live.

That is poor.

Anyway, apologies for having a go at the thread, it looks like you were right.

[Lucky Punch]

Don't understand why they don't show ever fight not like they are showing anything else. Be good for the none tv fighters who have recently turned pro to build up a fan base.

[servo]

As you said lucky punch, it is good for the recent Pro's to build up a fanbase. I can't understad why they aren't showing the rest. I was wondering if getting a ticket was a good idea due to my current financial situation, but seems was a wise choice.

[KingCobra]

Couldn't give a toss about the Olympians (this has got to be ******s call). I want to see Enzo smackmesilli, Brook, Small, Mitchell and I suppose Khan provided he doesn't nut Kotelnik in the 1st round. Jurys still out on whether Sky will see my £15 quid may just watch the Hennesy stuff and erm "catch up" on the other fights the next day.

[sweetclyde]

We have plenty of time to see the olympians! They will probably despatch their opponents in double quick time whereas the real fight will be with Enzo - This guy is fighting to save a career!!!!!!!! If fireworks are due on Sat, then it's with this fight!

[Bodysnatcher]

It's a 4 hour show, they can fit in all the fights live surely. Certainly Enzo should be live.

[Grant1]

It's a piss-take if Enzo's not on live.

[felix]

It's a 4 hour show, they can fit in all the fights live surely. Certainly Enzo should be live.

i think olympians will be on for the first hour. than small at 10 and than khan at 11 and at 12 they'll show highlights. i don't see why they can't start the show at 8 and they can get enzo in.

[Grant1]

If anybody should be delayed it's the Olympians.

[neil hibbert]

glad im going now if thre not showing enzo and brook, who relly wants to see the olympians beat another punchbag up for a round or 2 when theres other good quality fights on the bill

[dandur55]

one more thing this mofos in Sky showing adwert after every single round.
I hate that, makes me fill sick
Sky's show quality rubbish
