So , how many PPV figures do we think this fight will do? Personally, I reckon it'll do half a million tops. I can see why Boxnation pulled out, at £12 million, it's a massive gamble.
A lot of curiousity in the fight, but I wouldn't pay 20 quid for it!

I thought fury was a big crowd puller ?
Not sure they will sell many tickets PPV , or is the undercard a good one ?
Otherwise it will be 20 quid for 2 rounds of action.

Unfortunately, I'm not clever enough to add a poll to this thread, but it would be interesting to see how many would actually buy this? The irony is, that Tyson's no.1 fan won't be paying for it , because he's going!
So, who is buying it?

If I had a warehouse full of co-axial cable in Manchester I'd be doubling security, one twenty quid sub and another 50 caravans connected.

Sorry but I absolutely despise Sky for this sort of shit

£30 a month for the sky sports package in order to watch maybe the boxing on a Saturday night every couple of days, but wait if thats not enough we will also charge you an extra £18 so you can watch Tyson Fury

sorry but Fury - Wlad is not a PPV fight, this is why I always championed BoxNation, that was £10 a month and at its peak there was quality fights on every week, you pay your subscription you get all fights that are shown, none of this bollocks of pay a subscription for some fights and then pay a box office premium for a sub standard fight thats being held up by a sub standard undercard.

Nothing will ever be more morally wrong than making Bellew/Cleverley PPV!

As big a liberty Bellew-Clev was being PPV at least it had an undercard.

The worst ever has to be - Haye-Audley. Not only was the fight a farce the PPV was backed by one fight Groves-Anderson.
