    I'm sure the admin team on here would be able to confirm that I'm not a duplicate account and have never had an account on here before if you're desperate to know. If not then you'll just have to deal with it.

    :lol:

    Who said anything about duplicate accounts?

    I'm just curious to know how you are so familiar with a host of different posters opinons, who you've never engaged with before November.

    Remarkable really when you think it

    People are allowed to talk about Hearn without you going 'waaaaaaa waaaaaaa but Warren waaaaa'

    It's pathetic.

    And I'm allowed to point out the hypocrisy in people saying Hearn is ruining boxing with PPV fights, like Hearn was the guy who started them (he wasn't) or puts the worst fights on that platform (he isn't.)

    All he's really done is take an idea Warren started in British boxing and made a success of it, which is why people hate him.

    It’s the same few every time mate. Strangely they are huge fans of the corporate side of it rather than the actual fighting. Press the ignore button mate. Works for me.

    The lad was talking about how he doesn't like they way it is used. What's wrong with that? You're the one who brought Warren into it presuming he was delighted with PPV 10 years agi. There wasn't any hypocrisy until you added it in.

    People talk about 'the way Hearn uses it' as though there's something special or different about what Hearn is doing. I'm still not sure what that is.

    I asked the question about what specifically related to Hearn about PPV complaints, and an answer was that he uses it for fights that aren't superfights. This clearly is not an argument you can level at Hearn alone as loads of promoters have done it.

    Why is it that you will not hear a bad word said about Hearn without feeling the need to jump to his defence as if he's your uncle?

    I agree with you. The rot sets in with too many ppv mis matches..Surely the fight shouldn't of been made instead of us "not having to watch it"...Rocky fielding shouldn't be ppv against anyone, its terrible. And Hearn needs to change his spiel, "rocky's securing his families future", its a given that is, of course he is..To much talk from Hearn

    "The PPV was strong"
    "I'm happy" - dejected look on his face.
    "The clash gave Warren great exposure"
    "We won't see many PPV clashes in the future"

    Got round to watching Eddie's latest interview. Whyte/Chisora clearly done less buys than he hoped for and Warrington/Frampton must've done okay. Hopefully now Eddie won't let his ego rule his head again from here on in. That clash was absurd and totally unnecessary.

    On every social media platform I browsed in the lead up to the fight, Warrington/Frampton was getting the edge from fans saying they were buying. Obviously Whyte/Chisora done much bigger numbers but it appears there's knowledgeable boxing fans emerging from the masses of casuals.

    Wonder what Warrington/Frampton sold and what Warren/BT would deem a success?

    On every social media platform you saw the Warrington fight was getting the edge, but you also say it's obvious that Whyte Chisora did more. I don't follow.

    Not everyone that buys uses social media?

    Obviously. You missed the point. Whyte/Chisora clearly done a lot more buys. However, it was clear on social media, leading up to the 22nd, that most genuine boxing fans preferred the Warrington/Frampton fight/card On paper.
