PPV for a 1/25 odds on favourite - Matchroom/Sky sink to new low

Haven't you read all of today's threads by our resident geniuses? Because Joshua is 4 lbs heavier than his last fight, he is too musclebound to get off of his corner stool and, if he manages to do so, he'll gas by the middle of the 2nd....and.... Takam is a relentless monster and elite fighter who is going to knock Joshua into the three ringside seats occupied by Tyson Fury after Joshua gases.

 

Well, he could probably get £29.99 out of some people.

 

Because AJ is PPV now, get over it.

It would be idiotic for Hearn to not charge for this fight, it simply wouldn't make sense.

Honestly don't no why this bothers you so much.

 

I like Joshua, I like Hearn, I subscribe to Sky Sports and I understand why Joshua is PPV now so I am not anti all that and I'm not totally against PPV but I have to say this is a poor PPV card.

Hopefully we are surprised and we get good fights, sometimes even with huge odds on favourites we get some entertainment.

 

So who here is actually paying for it?

 

It isn't near as bad a ppv as Haye vs Audley to be fair.

 

Whyte-Helenius will the best fight of the night. But yeah this is not PPV worthy.

 

I’m paying for the fight tomorrow. I’m fully aware it’s likely to be a shower of Shiite and I would usually have watched it down the pub or through other means but my Missus likes AJ
and we have some friends coming over in the evening so it has to be done.

Fcuk you Hearn/sky

 

So it's right to make people pay for fights that the bookies have odds like that on? When people already pay for sky. No mate, it's robbery. I know it's obviously going to happen because he is 'box office' now BUT at the same time it's only because idiots will buy it that he is otherwise this is never a PPV worthy fight. I can live with it myself but I'd never pay for it. Jurgen is bang on in what he's saying.

 

Yes, it's right.

You realise many people who watch AJ don't watch ANY other boxing? They pay for AJ. They aren't bothered who he fights, or the odds, or if he's the underdog. He's the draw,

To say it's robbery is complete idiocy.

Also, you don't need to have a sky subscription to order the event, so this is irrelevant.

 

If this ppv sells well then hearn can make the next card worse then this and it will sell in time it will only be aj main event and the next-gen trash on the undercard

 

I’m attending.

 

AJ is PPV worthy on his own.

This sold out when only he was announced against Pulev too remember.

He is the biggest fighter in the sport. He will always be PPV now.

It’s the likes of Hughie Fury vs Parker and CEJ vs Artur Abraham / Yildrim being PPV that’s killing the sport.

No problem at all with the biggest and best athlete in the sport doing it. Or the two best in a weight class (GGG Canelo) doing it but when no mark fights are with absolutely no draw that’s the pisstake.
