    An interesting fight and no doubt a fiery build up but surely with no belt on the line it isn't worthy of a PPV.

    Sorry if already been discussed

    It will be, Bellew vs Cleverly is a domestic scrap up.

    It's a final eliminator for a Cruiserweight title; can you find me two better British cruiserweights?

    Not a chance I'd be buying it if it was.

    It also shouldn't be anywhere near ppv

    I agree, it is not a PPV fight but why do you think Cleverly was ringside looking like a lemon while Bellew was shouting his mouth off?

    They would love to make this PPV and people will have been on social media and forums like this seeing if there is a buzz for this and weighing up if they should risk it.

    We know what will happen with a half decent looking under card, that will slowly melt away with people pulling out and then a list of TBA's.

    If they make this PPV they will get stung.

    The amount of bull**** and ridiculous promises he is going to make in the run up to the fight is going to be hilarious

    No ****ing way. That'd be a new low for PPV in this country, and that's saying something. I'm not even that fussed about the fight.

    Not even a 1% chance this will be PPV!

    A domestic rematch with some hype and bad blood.The winner gets the bragging rights and a move up the rankings as engineered by Matchroom.

    Nothing more,nothing less.

    Surely not?! Hearn would be a callous thief to put that on PPV.

    Got a feeling Haye will be making his comeback on this card

    Awesome scrap, but no it's not PPV worthy. I imagine the winner will be picked as a voluntary by one of the beldholders.

    Would be a scandal if it was but at the end of the day if there's the demand it will be.

    I have this feeling too although Haye has said he wants to return in September/October.

    As for this being on PPV I think if it's paired with the Froch/DeGale fight (looking likelier by the day in my opinion) then it will have to be on Box Office.

    It should be PPV IF it is a good undercard as well

    I think Bellew beats him in 7 rounds this time,
