Thread: Kell Brook vs. Diego Chaves in Sheffield on October 24th

That's it. Two and half weeks out.

I don't know. It would not be the first time Eddie has sold horse shit pretending it's already roses. In fact Bellew / Cleverly was barely a bunch of daffs. Dandelions maybe.

Even the Bellew-Clev PPV had two "world" title fights - Quigg, McDonnell, DeGale, Groves, AJ and C. Smith.

They've removed Burns now.

No way they PPV this with the Klit-Fury/AJ-Whyte PPV's coming up.

It probably won't be ppv now, but whether it is or not, Hearn and Sky are gonna come in for loads of stick and rightly so. With shit like Bellew/Clev, they've milked the fuck out of it, regardless of the undercard. It's the main event that counts.
I tried to explain that in Britain we get ripped off, and loads of people disagreed.
In the U.S., they pay more for a ppv event, but there are very few ppv fighters, only the absolute elite.
If Hearn/Sky put together ppv packages based on quantity rather than quality, there's always a risk that this happens.

The main event is what counts to the casual fan (that's why the sell is aimed at them), not to people like me though.

I don't mind paying £20 for a night of even matched fights between top fighters, like the O2 card earlier in the year headlined by Brook-Gavin. I knew Brook-Gavin was a borderline mismatch but I bought it for Linares-Mitchell, Selby-Grad, AJ-Kingpin, Blackwell-Ryder and Ryan-Hibbert.

If Wlad-Fury doesn't have a proper undercard I won't buy it. I'll just ponce a stream. I didn't buy Floyd-Pac. Single events mean nothing to me when i'm forced to buy it.

The AJ-Whyte PPV currently has Eubank jr-Spike O' Sullivan (probable), Mitchell, Campbell and Bellew scheduled for the card. I'll buy it.

Confirmed for Sky Sports 1

Fury-Wlad is the PPV (obviously)
