    Lol thats just silly. Getting SkySports and BT Sports and then their respective box office channels is just becoming a joke now.

    Unless its Saunders vs GGG or Fury vs AJ/Wilder then its a rip off

    If frank is planning to charge BN subscribers like me who have supported the channel for years with our subs even when the schedule has been bare I will have to seriously think about cancelling.

    I’m not even that interested in Fury but it’s the principle

    If as I suspected last week Furys come back fights v D rated fighters are heading ppv shows on BT then their reputation in boxing is about to go down the pan. I am really keen to see his comeback but am not paying ppv for priveladge if it's against opponents who are not very good.

    Tyson Fury is fighting an "unbeaten prospect" on PPV, why does Warren do this to himself?

    Some of you are getting rowdy but from BT's Point of View they had to launch a PPV System.They can now have legit reasons to play a part in Joshua v Fury etc They can put in bids for events like Mayweather v Mcgregor if it appears again...Sky are still miles ahead, but the pricing struture will be intresting.Eddie Hearn needs to nab Billy Joe Saunders as Fish eyes is coming back into the game

    Launching a PPV platform isn't the issue. Launching a platform to show Fury vs some scrub is the problem

    Absolute p!ss take. I'm actually one of the people that doesn't necessarily mind PPV. I do buy the events most pf the time. Night in for £20 plus a takeway and few bevs, what's not to like. But even as a Fury fan I ain't gonna shell out to watch him fight cans on his come back trail.
    Frank is stale. He bemoans sky / matchroom / stub hub etc but give him half a chance he'd be doing exactly the same. Joke.
    I hope it does terrible numbers

    BT needs this to compete with Sky Box Office and ITV Box Office.

    It's an excellent move from Warren's perspective.

    He can now try and make proper 'big' fights with PPV behind it (Saunders vs Golovkin being a prime example).

    Sucks for the fans though. £20 for the Joshua fight was a rip off and I worry how much BT will charge for there's.

    It's becoming like football, pricing the working classes out.
