    I think fox sports is very cheap though. So it isn't a direct comparison because we have to pay about £90 a month to get Sky

    We all know the Fury PPVs on ESPN should never have been behind a pay wall
    Its been disscussed and agreed with many a time on here
    Yet you manage to bring it up in here in comparison
    Your obsessed, either that or trying to get certain postets to bite
    Have a break

    Well no he's making a valid point.

    Value for money

    Fury vs Wallin 20 quid

    AJ vs Ruiz 25 quid

    The AJ fight is better value for money, and that's not debatable, there was nothing but mild grumbling over the Fury fight while there is uproar over the better value AJ fight.

    It's just another excuse to hate on Hearn and AJ

    So, again he has a valid point and you turn to personal insults and childish Ness because you know that, and don't have a logical argument to fall back on.

    It's you who looks silly not him.

    Fury vs Wallin should never, ever have been PPV though. You, along with myself was probably the first to criticise it.

    I fight Joshua’s corner all the time. And as for match room I’ve been accused on here of getting paid by them! I’m not using it a stick to beat anyone, I’m just calling it how it is. Even if it was Fury vs Wilder, two of the top 3 in the world I’d criticise the price rise.

    I just get tired of this **** tbh mate

    Every time there's a PPV that's a but iffy or a price increase we all bang on about it. It's just boring. They aren't going to stop because we moan on a forum, we need a sticky thread tucked up the top "PPV moan thread" and it can sit up there out of the way and everyone can just moan in there.

    It's ****ing boring

    It's like anything else in the world mate, my netflix went up recently and I had to pay extra to have more than one room. It's a shitty service as well tbh but meh it's not worth getting wound up over. If it annoyed me that much I'd vote with my wallet. That's all anyone can do.

    I'd reccomend not winding yourselves up and just not buying it.

    To just get Sky Sports package in the UK and Fox sports in the USA aren’t too dissimilar. So the comparison stands. $100 extra a PPV and sometimes there’s a couple a month. The USA fans are mugs.

    I’m not winding myself up over it, I’m still actually considering going. I have a few friends who work in oil over there and they’re going, just the fact it’s so close to Christmas is putting me off.

    If it's a viable option I'd go, it'll certainly be an experience. Christmas is every year.

    True, but look at the comments on here. It’s inevitable one sided guff. Hearn is killing boxing and so on.

    It’s the market that they operate in. If something is more expensive but better value than something else it will be sold at that price.

    I'm not sure the addtitonal fiver is worth boycotting what many of us have been looking forward to. As has been mentioned, we've suffered much lesser fights for 20 quid and we weren't up in arms about it. As it happens I've done a sort of mini-boycott for the last few months and have dropped my package to almost the minimum and am not buying ppv's unless I absolutely want it.

    Re; Virgin prices - yes, they give you an HD option which I have always declined. I think it's a fiver more than standard definition.

    I was going to buy it. Now at that price i might as well go to the pub instead and watch it there.
