    Why don't you start some threads, get more involved in proper boxing threads. The past 2 weeks ive made a real effort to start proper boxing threads.

    So you don't know who sets the price or what the price will be. You dont actually know if Hearn even knows the price yet.

    Great thread.

    You are a not very bright ! Uk tv does not pay big money for boxing licence! Sky don't value boxing as it delivers such bad ratings! The only way this fight can be in uk without promotor losing bucket loads is ppv! If you don't like don't buy your not going to fight now either!

    Eddie Hearn should have made the fight work without PPV.

    Hearn deserves to criticised.

    What I find amusing is the 'pure boxing posters' from yesteryear who pop back every so often to say how this forum has gone downhill. I was on this forum under a different profile a long time ago during the so called 'halcyon' days. The days when it just became a troll fest with so many supposed technical boxing experts mostly saying how **** Calzaghe was. In fact, it was every other thread. This actually included certain people who should've known better and who are now trying to make moves for themselves outside of the ring in the game.

    As for there being a lot of tv/promoter/political threads right now, well unless you've got your head in the sand this is the most difficult time to be a fighter trying to come through the ranks in this country in recent memory.

    A lot of the British fighters that should be the subject of "boxing" threads on the Brit forum are simply not fighting at all right now. And then some technical boxing genius from the halcyon days pops up wondering why there a lot of promoter/tv/political threads!! Go figure.

    Exactly. Iv seen so many threads giving stick to W***** Maloney, Hobson, Hennesy. Iv seen people having a go at Hearn because he was doing well. He does something that deserves stick and now suddenly it's bang out of order criticizing him? Give me a break credit where it's due and all that but il not going to praise him when he's ****ed up

    Hate ****s like you. Lurking in the background reading everything despite claiming its all shite but posting nothing yourself. Plenty of good boxing content on here. Many good threads only get a few replies. Why not reply to them? Or start your own? You knew what this thread was about if it bothers you that much don't read it it's not difficult

    :deal PPV is unacceptable. Eddie Hearn is a cheeky ****. I used to like him but he's been **** poor lately. Bottom line is I'm not paying for that under any circumstances. Il watch a stream end of story.
