    Are you being serious?

    If I go to my football teams three games this week it would be £68 plus travelling to two away games. I'll go to two and it'll have cost me £50 tickets and travel before food and drink.

    The man clearly means from a stay-at-home point of view.

    Besides, if Boxing is a niche sport on Sky, and doesn't bring in the money that the really popular sports do, why do we pay through the nose for it?

    I'm just saying sky is padded out with it..BBC also.
    Sky started out as premium sports site , but is now full of dross and you have to pay AGAIN for the premium stuff that you subscribed for in the first place

    It’s hardly being forced upon you though, is it? You could always just...switch channels. I mean heaven forbid women would present sports. It’s almost as if their knowledge might be equal to or superior to men’s. Obviously they should be in the catering department, not on camera.

    The real worry about he proliferation of PPVs is that things like Whyte-Chisora 2 are being priced at the same £19.95.
    It wouldn't be so bad if they were scaled, so £19.95 is the price for a Joshua-Fury type event, and lesser fights can be priced at £14.95, £9.95, £5.95, £4.95 or whatever.
    But what's actually in danger of happening - because Hearn and SKY have already thought of it - is that these second-rate PPVs will continue at £19.95 ..... and then when an actual mega-fight comes along Hearn and SKY will be emboldened to charge some astronomical price, like "American prices".

    That's inevitable. Fights will be scaled, but £20 will be the bottom the of the scale.

    I think anyone who paid a score at the weekend (me included) would be extremely pleased with what they purchased. £20 to watch 2 undefeated Heavyweights fight for the WBC and with that level of entertainment in the fight PPV does work in my opinion.

    This "it is needed to make these big fights" is just nonsense from Hearn, he has created absolutely unrealistic expectations of purses for Whyte because he keeps not putting him in with Joshua. As a standard main event card that would be a superb fight, but PPV with no belt etc it is a joke.

    I watched live and was very pleased with my discounted purchase mate.

    You are correct, £20 for this level of fight is understandable for non Sky Sports and/or BT Sports subscribers.

    The same amount for Fat Pudding Whyte v Fat Pudding Chisora is unbelievable yet the PPV mugths will buy in higher numbers
