    These are becoming so common that people think they are the norm and accept them.

    You can not get lower than ppv Cleverly v Bellew 2. If that can be ppv then anything can be.

    Now we have you tube ppv, when will it end?
    The subscription thing or "standard" of fight is no longer an excuse (although a perfectly valid one), you're not willing to buy ITV or Youtube PPV either. In fact you're not even willing to subscribe to a dedicated boxing channel, there's no particular fight that would make you depart with a pound note.

    Lets be honest, you'd never pay for anything boxing related, you just don't like it enough.
    I despise the PPV model and the grinning promoters and tv executives trying to sell it as if it is the norm.

    I have bought it in the past when I wanted to record it.
    You've bought it in the past?

    Mug.

    You're the problem then you hypocrite.

    Way in the distant past when it was worth it and justified.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The commercial gimmick circus fights (Haye v Bellew 1, Floyd v conor) I don't have a problem with, they are not aimed at boxing fans, they are for the casual who enjoys the spectacle rather than the fights.

    The quality fights (if Canelo v GGG was £20 on sky for example) I don't have a problem with, cracking fights worthy of the additional subscription fee.

    I'm happy to get crolla v burns, rigo v loma as part of my subscription.

    Fury v Parker, Groves v Cox, Jr v Abraham, those are the fights that I can't get on board with, they may be decent fights but they are not PPV worthy
