    It wasn't a PPV before Brook/Gavin. How is that a PPV fight?

    Not for me, I'll probably end up buying it though.

    But I can sleep easy knowing I never bought Bellew Cleverly.

    This is simply a British title fight, forget the alphabet bauble. High time fighters stopped deluding themselves with these bogus titles. Check out Kevin Johnson's "effort" against Christian Hammer, to see how much of a test he is for Joshua, if you can stay awake, that is.

    Brook vs Gavin is not a ppv fight but when you look at the full card...there are a number of title fights and world title fights here. Not as bad as I first thought. In truth it's better than the bellew clev 2 event.

    This.

    The card is PPV worthy.

    Brook v Gavin on it's own no, but three world title fights, Anthony Joshua in a step up, two British title fights and a Commonwealth title fight is worth it for me.

    As they say, fools and their money are easily parted. This is a dangerous precedent to be setting in making these Mickey Mouse cards PPV, the mugs who pay for them are as much to blame as the companies who now think that any decent fight must be held up until it can be made PPV. Brook isn't a PPV fighter, nobody on the card is!

    Cards like this never used to be PPV and not that uncommon on Sky.

    3 world title fights now. 2 good domestic clashes, with AJ and potentially Clev on the card too, I'm happy to pay for that

    Basically, if it's not Matchroom fighter v tomato can it's going to be PPV from now on.

    Great card. I can't quite fathom the negative reactions to this card. Several interesting match ups, three world title fights. If I wasn't going to this, I would gladly pay for this card.

    Best UK card for years. 5 near enough 50/50s - Brook and Joshua for 'name' value. It is a card you really wouldnt want to miss. I voted yes. I know Bellew-Clev shouldnt set the bar as that card was awful - but this ****es all over that one. It is a card for the big boxing fan, so might not do as well as other PPVs

    People just love to complain. It's a really good card, how many other times have we seen 3 legitimate world title fights on a British card? Plus some good British level fights on the undercard.

    It's 20 quid, most people will spend more than that on a night out. Get a few mates round and split it and it's a cheap night and a good night of boxing. :bbb
