    Yeah i lile to have at least 1or 2 world class fights on a PPV show. Is that really too much to ask for?

    I don't think so.

    Especially when the main fight is at stupid o clock in the morning UK time...

    Just imagine a situation where AJ is obligated to fight Martin again in a mandatory :hang

    It's just absurd, I love the post earlier from Mitch87 saying who he'd go for and basically having to judge it by who has looked s**ter losing to the American Nathan Gorman! Martin and Washington are sitting ducks at elite level, although Wilder actually did struggle with the latter for a little bit, windmilling and missing like an absolute lunatic.

    Well I won't be paying for it. It's hard enough staying up till stupid o'clock to watch a fight even with a decent undercard. I'll probably just set the alarm and listen to it on the radio, then go back to sleep after Wilder knocks Fury out in a round.

    I can't listen to boxing on the radio at all. Don't know how you do it.

    It's not ideal, but better than nothing and you at least get a feel for the atmosphere and the excitement. I listened to Joshua/Ruiz I on the radio as I was in Belgium and didn't have any alternatives. That was a pretty good listen.

    Maybe it's a generational thing. I used to listen to fights on the radio in the 80s and 90s before Sky and the internet.

    I'm just messing, I've listened to boxing on the radio loads of times, I really enjoy it.

    On the odd occasion I really enjoy it. Especially Mike Costello's commentary on R5. There's something old school about it and your imagination can supply a better fight than you'd likely be seeing in reality!

    I like Costello. Was it you who was talking about syncing it with the TV pictures? Anybody tried this?
