    Can't wait for this, number one fight I was looking forward to this year, a nice bonus it's non PPV. I would have paid for this regardless but having it non PPV makes sense long term as more people will watch it and Dubois is still only 23 so building his profile is important leading into bigger fights 2021 and beyond.

    Also, put lads like Brad Foster, Hamzah Sheeraz on there. I imagine they will be relatively cheap and could give them a big audience.

    They should make it PPV for non bt customers to be fair

    The latter sentence make sense and should be the same for existing Sly Sports Subscribers as well for PPV Sport.

    Nah, I don't think you can find anyone outside of Matchroom fanboys who think Whyte Povetkin should be on PPV.

    I mean in the status of the two fighters when that fight was announced as PPV. There was a British belt and the 'international' nonsense, but really both were unproven at the highest level. Say what you like about Dillian and Sasha, they're in the top 10 of any meaningful HW ranking list. Obviously you can argue the latter shouldn't be PPV, but as a direct comparison to Dubois v Joyce, I think the AJ Whyte fight is a better point of comparison.

    Everyone giving Frank and BT credit for this, but they seem to forget that Matchroom and Sky have just announced their upcoming girl power extravaganza, which is also not on PPV.

    Tbf to BT and frank, they have given us Selby vs Warrington, Warrington vs Galahad, Terry Flanangan vs Hooker, Frampton vs that Aussie, Kovalev vs Yarde. All world titles on non PPV. doubt.

    What was the last world title on normal sky? Dont say any of the womens fights as they dont count

    Good news- it would have been all too easy to put this on PPV.

    Let’s be quite frank, it should never have been PPV anyway. It’s two domestic level fighters neither of whom have ever fought beyond that level.

    But credit where it’s due, especially in the current environment, this is great news for the fans.

    Inoue v Donaire last year was a cracking fight on Sky. Not sure if there was any after this date.
