    With the collapse of the biggest fight on the card, Macklin-Barker, is this 'Magnificent' 7 card PPV status?

    Sexton-Chisora, Cleverly-Murat and Brook-Jennings are arguably the three most competitive fights and along with the other four title fights it is a top night of boxing. But, should we be getting this as part of our sky sports package that we are already paying premium subscription for?

    Yes. Look @ Marquez-Diaz which is what? $50 PPV?

    Mag 7 for £15 is a must for a Boxing fan.

    Macklin - Barker was the only ppv worthy fight imo.

    I still think so but its a bit of a blow without Barker Macklin still
    Enzo vs frenkel
    Clev vs Murat
    Sexton vs Chisora
    Brook vs Jennings
    Rhodes vs Konecy

    All of these would be main events in their own right so to have them all at once isnt a bad effort just Macklin Barker would have been the Cherry on top i think everyone has forgotten about all the other fights a little bit.

    :lol: Wtf? People are voting no just because one of the big fights are off? So you people would pay a PPV just for a Macklin-Barker fight?

    Macklin - Barker on it's own is more worthy of ppv than Khan - Salita :deal

    No thanks.

    I rather watch:

    Khan - Salita
    Mitchell - Prescott
    The Olympians

    Over Macklin - Barker.

    It still has 5 very good 12 round fights and a couple of good prospect fights. Still a great card IMO even without Barker-Macklin.

    Yes. PPV's normally consist of one-two decent fights per card. This one (at the moment at least) has 6 fights that all look good on paper. Just because there aren't any stand out names or 'world' titles at stake, it doesn't mean this card isn't worthy of PPV status IMO.

    Of course you would, you'd probably pay £15 to watch Amir trimming his toenails.

    Agreed.

    Five of the other fights are main events in there own right so it's a bit stupid just because one fight falls through saying it's not worth it.

    Exactly. The guy above would pay £15 just for Macklin-Barker over the Mag 7 (What's left of it) :lol:.
