    Thought Big Abdul was taking the urine last week until I seen reports of both non events last night reported on Sky Sports News.

    The same tried and tested spin is underway to part mugs with money.

    The biggest fight out there according to Haye and the fight the public wants to see.

    After Joshua v Whyte PPV, I must be mad thinking Big Abdul is talking shyte considering he has never provided any shyte in the past.

    No your right but I think the OP is highlighting what an absolute p1ss take it would be if the idea is actually being discussed.

    PPV? - surely sky won't sign off on that! I think it will be on SS1. A Briggs fight is on the same scale of a circus act as the Fraudley farce and that destroyed PPV for years after the public backlash (thankfully)
    sky won't make that mistake again especially as they have the AJ money train to ride on

    Sky would be turning Boxing into a bigger joke if they keep on having so many PPV's.

    Bread and butter domestic fights including Joshua v Whyte and Cleverly v Bellew Pay per Poo and Sky do have Pay per Poo Wrestling.

    Discussions commenced last week according to Big Abdul and I would never have believed it if it came from someone else.

    The fact that Sky Sports news has covered this 2 fight farce last night every hour is a sure sign that this is being considered.

    Years ahead, people will always remember the fight on the comedy channel with the image of Haye fighting a can while wearing a giant nappy in the ring.

    After last night I think Sky will be staying well clear. Embarrassing.

    The Brook fight in August will be PPV so if this takes place in September then it'll have to be on regular Sky or more likely ITV/Dave again. I doubt money is a massive issue for the Briggs/Haye fight.

    I get the feeling that Haye and Hearn don't get along too well- hence why Haye isn't fussed about fighting on Sky currently. Or Hearn wouldn't touch Haye with a nine foot barge pole.

    Would probably be considered the worse PPV show of all time if it happened. Hopefully someone in Sky has a brain.
