and on a side note, there's a huge bill on at the York Hall on the same night

Far too many PPV bouts at the moment, it's a shame to see that the PPV culture has finally made its way over to the UK
Mind you I think PPB was to be expected for this fight
I think this was always going to be PPV. I'm not saying it should be , but that's the way it is at the moment. to be fair , it's more worthy of PPV than Joshua's British title fight or the Bellew v Cleverley non entity. Although everyone ignores that Rigo is the Man, this at least is a World Title unification.
rarely do I pay for PPV's , but I have to say that I will probably get this as I am intrigued by it and to be fair , I don't see any way that it can't be a good fight.

I'll pay for it I just enjoy moaning about PPV's.
We need the rest of the world to get some of these title belts off the UK so we don't need to keep paying £18 to watch a fight
Both sides made no secret that it would be PPV from the beginning.
Id say undercard will be poor. Most of McGuigans stable are really average and a lot of Hearns top guys have fights scheduled for different dates. Fight sold out within minutes, PPV sales will likely be very good. Hearn knows he doesnt need a great card to sell this.
Exactly what I said earlier on, he won't need a big card, just wheel out Burns, Mitchell and Chisora againQuote:

Usually with Matchroom , the above fighters do the London shows. with this being in the North West, Expect people like Callum Smith , Rocky Fielding, Tommy Coyle , Luke Campbell, Scott Cardle , etc. to feature. it is leaving it a bit late though.Quote:

I remember the first PPV on Sky, we had a huge bill here in britain first off with Collins vs Benn aand Naz vs Molina (i think) amongst others and then it crossed over to Tyson vs Holyfield!! That was worth paying for, this is not. Unfortunately no matter how many times I promise myself I won't buy them I always do because I'm weak where boxing is concerned.
When in Rome and besides this is quite worthy for that market compared to most of the dudes the try to pass off. Its not a problem for me personally cause I'll watch it using the dark side for free.
This fight was always going to be PPV, its a great fight this worth £16 yep it is bring it on can't wait.!
This should be free on ITV. :mad:Quote:

Funk free TV.
I want to watch the build up - preview shows, press conferences, weigh-ins, fighter workouts, interviews with everyone involved. You get none of that on terrestrial, that's why the modern fights go completely under the radar.
Fuck going back to the old days when you got shown the main event and that was it.
We've all been shouting for this match for years now so given its been done there is no way I'm not buying the PPV! Can't wait
There is ITV4 that can be able to show the undercard fights and hype or Spike TV for that if it was on channel 5.Quote:

Selling it's soul to the money? Prize fighting has never been about anything else you naive plum.
Selling 20,000 tickets and 400,000 PPV's for a British title fight shows what a fantastic state the sport/business is in.
ITV/5/Spike do zero promotion for their fights because they can't. Simple as. You contribute absolutely nothing but expect everything for free. Ponce. Fact.
Sheep ppv buyers would have probably paid for Garcia/Salka but will then baaaaaaaa about a fight like this that is actually worthy of a worldwide audience. If people don't want to pay for it then don't. There is no reason to to so to begin with given technology so doing so after complaining would make the complainer a chronic.
People will pay 75 bucks to watch Floyd beat Guerrero but they wont fork out a few quid for Frampton/Quigg? Says much about the quality of those sheep.;D
I got my monthly sky bill today. £131. That's Fury and Joshua fights and mission impossible : rogue nation.
I will defo not be paying did this next one. Thing is I can't see Joshua being on non-ppv now once he's had a taste of it.
I will get my boxing fixes on Dave from now on
Stop watching shit filmsQuote:

I'm sure the answer to this question will be yes, but after cancelling Sky Sports, I take it I'll still be able to buy the PPV shows? It wouldn't make sense for them not to.
Once the NFL season is over I'm off paying for Sky Sports...going back to the standard. New year cull, Boxnation may even go too.
Yes you can get the ppv event.Quote:
