Khan McCloskey Card

Going to this on Saturday but a bit concerned at the state of the undercard. Rees v Crolla is apparently off, Quigg and Macklin's fights also in doubt. Will there be any card left by Saturday? Does anyone know who is confirmed?

Martin Murray vs. Anderson Carvalho (WBA middleweight interim title)
Rendall Munroe vs. Andrei Isaeu (WBA super bantamweight interim title)
Craig Watson vs. Lee Purdy (British welterweight title)

Not worth £14.95 if i'm honest. I'll stream the fight and watch el classico (real madrid vs barcelona).

Current card:

How much were the tickets? It's a poor undercard and a poor main event. Macklin pulled out and the Rees vs Crolla fight is off but not sure why. Hatton was unlucky with the undercard Matthew has just fought or would be a co-feature. Was suprised he never went back to GBP and asked them to send over a couple of decnt fighters to help out the card.

I hope this fight sells really bad, boxing fans getting shafted not by greedy promoters this time, but greedy fighters. Everybody needs to make money but i don't think he'll be starving anytime soon. A shocking card all round that went from being PPV, to free, to PPV. All to line Mr Khan's pockets, no thank you.

Is the change on TV stations down to Khan or Hatton as Hatton seems to be getting credit as the promoter?

God I hate giving anything to Primetime, but it's now unavoidable as I've mates coming over to watch and we can't fit six people round a laptop.

It says £14.95 on the website, but last time I dealt with them for the Froch vs Abraham fight, I paid the £14.95, plus £5 for a 30 minute phone call as they wouldn't let me order it through my sky box, then they decided it was good form to charge me a £2.95 handling fee for using a DEBIT card, not even a credit card, which they neglected to tell me about. The coverage was a joke to say the least, and the undercard was worse still.

I tried to complain about the hidden handling fee but they just ignored my Emails, and I certainly wasn't going to ring the F*_kers again! I'd have got more response shouting at Harvey Price from 100 yards for f**k sake!

Anyone else had trouble with Primetime?

No mate have not dealt with them, doesn't sound good though.

Hi...i've been a regular visitor of the forums for like 2 years and your post has made me register

I used Primetime for Froch Direll...would never recommend using them.

We paid for a fight that they eventually made free to everyone anyway! And got no refund.

When you e-mail them they never respond.

If you look into who they are they sound pretty dodgy.. I honestly don't undertstand how they are allowed to do business and there's not really any customer service department so there's no way to complain about service.

I would say avoid Primetime like crazy..unless they've changed since the Dirrell fight but it doesn't look like it.

“These exciting fights coupled with the eagerly anticipated Khan vs McCloskey bout promise an evening on nonstop action on the UK’s leading independent PPV broadcaster – Primetime!” Haha, don’t kid yourself Primetime.

Sadly I will be purchasing this fight though, as my love of boxing is stronger then my belief in value for money.

I was in me mates and he bought the Liverpool match and it was a joke!

There was no commentary for the first 30 mins and then when there was some, it was like they got some random fella in his Living room to commentate, who was saying thing about 5 seconds after they happened.

I would never used them.

There office must be in a bedroom with a couple of phones and a computer.

They rely on impulse buys, the registration fee is nonsense and completely counter productive.

Gold old “WBA International” Belts, to try and polish a t*rd of an undercard…

Yeah. I would honestly urge anyone not to buy from them. Complete rip-off.

This PPV is going to do embarrassingly low numbers.

With the awful numbers this will do I can’t actually see how Khan is going to get paid anymore then the £100k (or whatever it was) Sky offered to show it on SS3.

I guess all the arguments about TV stations may have given Primetime a lot more advertising then they would normally invest in before a fight they are showing.

How much were the tickets? It's a poor undercard and a poor main event. Macklin pulled out and the Rees vs Crolla fight is off but not sure why. Hatton was unlucky with the undercard Matthew has just fought or would be a co-feature. Was suprised he never went back to GBP and asked them to send over a couple of decnt fighters to help out the card.

Well my Mrs got me them as birthday present - was looking forward to Rees Crolla particularly

Well I'm looking forward to it, because I love my boxing, but strictly on an armchair basis so far

was on the way into old trafford for last nights match and there were loads of people handing out fliers for this fight. i presumed it was for primetime but it was for tickets for the m.e.n show. think its goes to show they really are struggling to sell it. anybody know roughly how many tickets have been sold so far?

be worth more money going than give primetime your money. if a card like this is struggling to sell its sometimes worth to get the cheapest tickets you can, then on the night of the fight get there early and see if there upgrading anybody. for the khan v kotelnik fight we got moved from 30 quid seats to 120 quid seats (was pretty much ringside). always a risk i know but they will often move people forward to make the venue look more full on tv and leave the cheap seats empty. either that or it was my fantastic man flirting with the steward.

i dont see why they dont put a big screen up and put the united v city semi on first. then show the boxing afterwards, might get few people through the doors. i watched the moscow final in there it was great. suppose the only problem with it being a derby is the trouble and keeping opposing fans apart.

was going to start a thread to suggest this to anybody who's going, but hope this helps snakey

A screen to show the football would be good but the fact it's a Manchester derby makes it a no go the police won't let it happen.
