    Kind of smells like the ufc, **** ppvs, Dana white and all that bull****, boxing doesn't want to be heading in that direction.

    Exactly.

    Unfortunately it's going to become less about quality and more about if its fashionable.

    The true hardcore boxing fans will always see through the B O L L O C K S but unfortunately the casuals will lap it up.

    Now it all depends on numbers, if that performed as poorly as I think it did and the reaction to it is bad then Sky/Sky Sports have to ask a few questions about who is running the Boxing department and if it is going in the right direction.

    That's exactly what I said during the fight. If that hand wasn't broken, then he's done, at least at this weight.

    Oh, and anyone who pays that sh!t... sky subscriptions and PPV and all that... well... each to their own..

    All that really did was solidify the fact that neither of those two fighters should head a PPV card ever again.

    I fear the PPV might have sold well, I know a few people who bought it last minute and I doubt they were the only casuals who made a last minute decision to splash out after the ****nal Man U game.

    People underestimate how gullible the average man on the street is when they see two boxers mouthing off at one another. Only people who know the sport can see through the charade of it all but the average fan is caught up by it all

    Cleverly confirmed in the post-fight presser than he damaged his hand in the third and it's likely broken.

    Two terrible cruiserweight in the worst PPV in living memory. That's what just happened.

    It's a shame cruiserweight is such a **** division at the moment. It'd be hilarious to watch someone of Haye's calibre decimate Bellew.

    just an awful awful fight - I expected more from clev - this athlete that he was talking about couldnt even get to round 5 before he started blowing. he obviously needs to take a step back now look at the training camp and think what a shambles - tell himself his a shambles move on get a proper trainer for who ever he fights next he needs to step back down in weight too just a very poor show.

    How hilarious was it watching cleverly offering himself up on the altar by standing against the ropes with bellew swinging and swinging hitting nothing but air. Man this was absolutely fakkin atrocious!! Who deserves the most stick? If clev was really injured then its gotta be bellew imho. Truly pathetic all round tho.
