    His fights were NOT PPV level though. They were journeyman career set ups fleecing fans due to hype. This is why many did not like him. It was like how a boyband is presented. It is absurd how British fans are fleeced. I even think the price of Whyte/Chisora is a con job. How much must it cost to be a fight fan? If the fans have to pay PPV they should vote who fights who.

    There's no such thing as "PPV level" and nobody whose ever enjoyed a night of boxing has been fleeced. Journeymen produce classics and all-time greats snoozers. It's always been the way, it's unpredictable, that's the beauty. And you have a choice.

    Lets be honest, virtually everyone who moans about PPV and boxing on TV isn't really a fan, they just like to watch the odd fight now and then. Anyone not interested in Chisora-Whyte because it's PPV wouldn't have been interested regardless.

    Just because it has always been the way does not make it right.

    There should be standard for PPV level which should be world class fighters fighting one another or unification of major belts. Greedy promoters and their personal rivalries have resulted in poor PPV’s fights which have gradually got worse and now they are putting them on at the same time. There is no real choice for boxing fans who want to watch the fight live on the screen - pay or stream it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No real choice for boxing fans? Is that a joke? You watch illegal streams every single week regardless of whether or not it's the most famous fighters in the world - Canelo, AJ, Fury, Wilder, GGG - or these "greedy shows" you consider a con.

    You moaners don't buy anything, never have and never will, don't even pretend two PPV's at the same time effect you, or the "standard" matters. You'll be here Saturday night posting to yourself and Batman regardless

    I have paid in the past for ppv shows but the standard is progressively getting worse. As a boxing fan the only way to watch them all now is through streams as it would cost a fortune to watch them all.

    Of course watching 2 fights at the same time is going to be a big inconvenience as I will be jumping from the computer to the TV to watch both.

    with me and PPV's , it's a principle thing. I'm not destitute , I could pay for some. I don't like this live streaming and Kodi bollocks , because it always either freezes or is a shit picture. I would rather wait and watch it properly.
    i have paid for plenty of PPV's in the past, but I WILL NOT pay for PPV's that I don't think deserve it. I know I'm not going to change the World, but why should I line the pockets to excess of the likes of Bellew, Khan , Eubank Jr. , Chisora , Whyte etc. just because they're panto villains.

    IPTV works a treat for me mate, never had it freeze up on me or if it has it is very rare for it to do so.

    I spent hundreds on PPV but being in a low paid job and living alone it was simply too expensive for me to keep it up.

    I pay £8 a month and get everything now
