    Well, dunno if it should be PPV, but 3 World Title fights on it , better than Bellew v Cleverley I suppose.

    It's an excellent card but it was so obvious they were gonna make it PPV. They basically canvassed opinion last week by mentioning Gavin as a possible Brook opponent.

    To be frank - it's a shit fight. What chance has Gavin got? Even if he fiddled a win he'd probably not get it

    This is exactly why it's been made. It is a domestic scrap that Matchroom are using to milk Gavin before the mirage evaporates completely. The whole 'fun time', missing the Olympics etc back story, has for me, always masked the fact that Frankie was never as good as everyone hyped him up to be. For those not familiar with that from overseas, it would appear a bit mystifying.

    Still it would be a solid night of boxing with a few Brits in world title fights for us in Blighty were it not for the whole PPV charade. Master is right after paying for a subscription, charging again on top for this is a joke. Eddie can't even stop himself physically rubbing his hands together, so smug has he become. Don't get me wrong, Matchroom are essential for the British fight game, and them competing with Frank is great for fans. Everyone has to up their game. PPV though?

    Sky were desperate to make a ppv card this summer and now there's two in May alone.
    Thought they'd leanrt their lesson after the bellew- cleverley fiasco

    Hearn has failed to make Khan vs brook, degale vs froch, groves vs degale or quigg vs frampton so no big Wembley fight this year. Instead it's as if theyve said this'll have to do and given us a fight that nobody has asked for or wants to see

    Ppv?! Adam smith made the decision to go with Hearn over any other promoter but the sooner the contract runs out the better cus it's gone stale and he isn't delivering the fights people wanna see.

    True and if they are fights we want to see it is ppv. Jokers.

    Brook is already talking about Rios next. What the hell? Rios was an okay lightweight, at top 10 junior welter but he is a mediocre welter weight.

    Shows how much of a threat they see Gavin which is none.

    I really don't understand how Brook is being handled. It makes me wonder if they know of some major weakness they are trying to hide. He looks like he could challenge anyone but for years they put off a title challenge. They finally stepped up to the weakest champion and now they have regressed again. If a Rios fight happens I will become a hater.

    Hearn is taking a lot of stick for this , and rightly so. But your first sentence says it all. Sky were desperate for a PPV , and I reckon they've put loads of pressure on Hearn to deliver. That's why Hearn is desperate to do Froch v Degale, that's why he's desperate to do Khan v Brook, and that's why he's desperate to make Quigg v Frampton. The thing is the rest of the promoters know this and that's why they're not playing ball.
    This is the problem with Sky putting all there eggs in one basket.
