    It seemed like an awful promotion with little interest. How may were in crowd and how many paid for this I wonder?

    I watched it on YouTube for nothing this morning. I'd be fuming if I'd paid for it!

    Not sure but if I paid for it I would feel robbed, the promotion for the fight wasn't great but one thing I will give Mick credit for is teaming up with boxing legends TV on YouTube. They did a great promotion video for the fight which must of helped get a few buys. More promoters should team up with that YouTube channel as he does an excellent job posting detailed boxing videos.

    I watched it on a stream which worked brilliantly up until the 11th then the sound went which was a minor really.

    If anybody paid £15 to watch this knowing it would be on the very same channel the next day must be a complete fool

    I watched a free live stream, crystal clear and I still felt robbed.

    No idea how many people paid for the PPV, but I read this morning in a paper that the arena was no more than a quarter full, so going on that, that'll be 5,000 maximum in attendance??

    I don't know anybody who bought it. Seems like most on twitter watched on periscope. Does anyone think it even cracked 1000 buys?

    I'd love to know the PPV buys, did anyone here buy it? Sometimes on YouTube live streams it says the number of viewers, did anyone see the amount of viewers who purchased the PPV?

    I usually shell out for PPVs but not this one. More due to the technical faff than anything else. Can't be arsed ****ing around setting up accounts, logging in etc, for one fight. I listened to it on the radio.

    Fight was so bad to watch I can't imagine how mind numbingly dreadful the radio commentary must have been.

    "Fury dances around the ring...Parker comes in swinging...Clinch... And the ref breaks them up" - repeat a million times.

    Yeah it sounded terrible and I wasn't paying that much attention. Glad I didn't buy it.

    I paid for it, watched it and enjoyed it. Thought it was an intriguing clash of styles and a competetive fight between two of the best young heavyweights around. I saw what I expected to see, pity the judges didn't see it for Hughie as I did. I think Parker got lucky.
