    Yes Frank seems to be mentioning Vegas as a good proposal more than Wembley or Old Trafford so there’s only one reason for that and it’s money ( for him ).......so my argument is simply that might be good for his pocket but not for UK fans.

    Yes it’s a dig at him or anyone else who on the one hand makes out he’s a champion of the fans ( always slagging off Eddie and StubHub and anyone else who’s not working for him that’s not giving the fans value ) and on the other he does what’s best for him ie..Boxnation left for dust etc.... This is a forum and opinions are what it’s about.

    Do you want it to be a success or do you want it to flop?

    All I'm saying is Fury beat Wilder, therefore is one half of the discussion on who is number 1. So If your post about brexit with some emojis is meant to prove me otherwise, then try again.

    I'm I right in saying its a hassle to buy BT PPVs? You can't just press the red button? You need to sign up? That might not sound like much of a hassle to us hardcores but it could be the tipping point for the average man on the street.

    If so, they will never do close to a million buys on any fight.

    Do you have BT sport?

    I think it's when you don't have BT sport it's a problem.

    Aye I've got BT Sport so got it no bother at all. Didn't know there problems for non BT Sport subscribers. That's poor from a massive company like BT. The technology is there to make stuff like this pretty straightforward.

    Let’s bear in mind though the Joshua will make more for fighting Pulev and fair play to him

    You predicting and reality is a massive difference the rematch does 750k at a push and at those numbers both fighters would make more fighting Joshua at Wembley. Joshua is the money fight whichever way it is viewed.

    I'd like all boxing to be successful as it's my favourite sport and more people watching boxing equals better for boxing.

    That said, Warren has been talking garbage of late and I don't believe a lot of what he says. I didn't believe his 'Gorman Dubois fills a stadium next year' line. I sadly had no confidence in being pleasantly surprised with Yarde's opponent the other week. And I don't think Fury Wilder II will be the success he says it will.

    I think once you’ve bought one BT PPV online and registered your Sky user number with them then you can use the box office button to order all future events. I have BT sports but I think I had to order Canelo - GGG online. The fury PPV I just pressed the button.

    I don’t get why people think it’s such a faff orderig online anyway- it took me less then 5 mins ordering by this route.

    Rubbish from warren. Joshua's number one. I m a big fury fan but the reality is in fury's sabbatical Joshua's pretty much been beating every threat out there. His figures are still through the roof. Fury and wilder we,re giving tickets away to all on sundry the other week. The ppv wasn't massive either. Fury got his name back out there again...but he,s still is a hard sell to the masses. Cause tbh he's not as entertaining as Joshua. People will pay to see Joshua fight anyone due to the nature of his style. Fury needs a good dance partner. Even then he's struggled.

    That rematch won't do astronomical figures either imo. People in america won't suddenly go from not knowing who either of them are....to it being a must buy off the back of a fight that happened probably a year before.

    Joshua's doing astronomical figures tbh. He's a one off in the UK. Franks just kidding himself on again....as usual trying to kid people on as well.
