    Seemingly AJ wasn’t getting paid enough already.

    Still cheap compared to US PPV, but seems like a money grab really - Joshua and his team are earning plenty.

    Anthony Joshua is the reason PPV's were raised to 20 pounds. That wasn't long ago. Now we've jumped to 25 pounds and you can bet if he ever fights Wilder or Fury it'll be 30 pounds.

    Bloody shame to see. Can't blame the fighter. This one lands at the feet of Eddie Hearn. Absolutely dreadful to see and no wonder more and more people are looking at alternative options.

    The ones I don't get are the ones on Twitter going it's only an extra fiver or price of pizza, it's not the fact I can't afford it, I don't want to support the PPV nonsense unless really justified Joshua and Hearn them multi-millionaires really need another £30 from me, stay humble, stay humble though guys

    A night in watching boxing is beginning to cost more than a night out.

    How much does Fox cost in the US?
    How much does Sky cost in the UK.

    Not comparing apples with apples, we have very high fees monthly regardless plus basically any half decent fight on PPV

    Before the "oh it isn't much money" comments come in.

    I can afford to pay a tenner for a pint of milk everytime I need a bottle. Doesn't mean I should or would be willing to do so.

    Coming to terms with Tyson Fury getting offered a role in a Sylvester Stallone movie. He's currently trying to land Lewis Ritson a role in the Newcastle Christmas panto.

    Immediately Ctrl + F’d “Jurgen” for his “man of the people” type reaction.

    @Jurgen where you at son? Pay per pudding gone mad. We already have Matchroom mugths like this plonker defending the price:
