    We all new this would happen every one of the super seven are usually friday fight night headliners Warren knowing he has no PPV/world class stars in his camp who can make him big money has tried a gamble and it could end up back fireing.

    Is this ppv event available to purchase yet?

    Frank's gotta take this off ppv. Cleverley v Murat and Brook v Jennings does not mean it's a ppv show.

    Surely it's up to Sky, not the promoter if this is PPV.

    If they serve this up for £15, I can see them taking a lot of stick.

    Two weeks to go too. Getting a replacement, journeyman or not, for Barker wont be a problem so that takes you up to six but with Rhodes pulling out FW's screwed. Unless Tony Bellew and Bob Ajisafe fancy going at it a week early. Maybe a plan.

    I think there'll be an agreement between both parties. I don't think one has overall charge. Same as GBP and HBO etc. But surely common sense must prevail and this must be removed from ppv.

    Its not just about getting to 7 by hook or by crook and it then becomes PPV worthy.

    I know that mate. I'm not looking to justify the show's ppv status but people have bought tickets to a show called The Magnificent Seven now the promoter has got to get his arse in gear and make sure that's what happens.

    I think he has to add 1 more good match to be honest if he wants it to be PPV.

    You have 4 very good matches -

    Chisora vs Sexton
    Brook vs Jennings
    Enzo vs Frenkel
    Cleverly vs Murat

    And then 3 others with Degale vs Dilks, Macklin vs TBA and Gavin vs Kelly.

    I still feel its value for money at £50 as im going to the event but i'm not sure it will sell many PPV's just based on that.

    To be honest though who can he bring in as if he moves Bellew forward it knackers the event in London with Bellew and Hall on it!
