    When this was announced as a PPV there were a lot of raised eyebrows including mine, but have to say it was worth every penny. Well done all the boxers to start with and then props to Eddie for believing in them to put on a great night.

    Was decent. Benn v Peynaud was poor though. Shame we never got Buatsi-Summers. Brook KOing Cook early would have added nothing but maybe it would have been a competitive fight for Eggington.

    Was decent but nothing special IMO.

    Eddie got lucky. Any fight can be a classic, regardless of level. To justify PPV, the card must feature elite fighters and world titles. This one didn't. I streamed and thoroughly enjoyed. But the next non title PPV is as likely to be Bellew/Cleverly as it is Whyte/Parker.

    Del Boy stole the show anyway. Didn't think he had that in him. What a KO. Delighted for the crazy mofo!

    I'm no Hearn hater. It was a great show in the end. Though I dislike the idea of non title PPV cards moving forward. But you are a strange man, aren't you. Celebrating the success of a non title PPV like the birth of your first born. Take it easy there mate.

    Cannot believe that England have 2 new World Heavyweight Champions after tonight's card.

    Well done Dullian and Dull Boy

    Buglioni, Benn, Allen & Chisora all got me wins on the accumulator but Parker let me down...in the last 30 seconds my missus was already spending the £116 (off a fiver) in her head but Dillian literally clung on for dear life. Damn you!!!!

    C'mon surely Pay Per View should be reserved for the highest level. Every fight tonight should have been available with the Sky Sports subscription at no extra cost. Whyte and Chisora putting on great performances shouldn't change that.

    Parker and Whyte wouldn't have fought for the type of purse a Sky sports only event can provide.

    A Sky sports show would have been Whyte vs Molina in a tick over and Chisora vs a random latvian.

    Most of the sky sport money goes on football

    Get ready for Chisora v Whyte PPV before the end of 2018.

    Parker and Whyte shouldn't have been asking for 7 Figures. They both have no titles and are odinary fighters. Saying that, brilliant card tonight, streamed it, throughly entertained, Chisora and Whyte are brilliant i love them both. Joshua might be the cherry, but without the rest of them, British Boxing would be nothing

    We will look back at this era of British Boxing as special

    I want to see Whyte vs Miller now. Two huge technically poor men knocking ten bells out of each other.

    Chisora needs a fight that will inspire him to bring the best out of himself. He needs to be an underdog to be motivated. No tickover fights for this lad anymore.

    I dont understand the hate for ppv.

    You either buy it or you dont right?

    I don't have sky/virgin or any other as I there is very rarely anything I want to watch so £20 every couple of months is a bargain to me.

    Exactly. I didn't buy it but I won't complain about it. The power lies with the consumer.
