    Joshua v Molina not happy with,no way is that ppv.
    Whyte v chisora,great scrap,very happy with it still not ppv.
    You promised us night of the giants with 3 heavyweight fights.
    Provide another good heavyweight undercard fight to compensate for the let down main attraction and you might do some viewing numbers.

    Joshua's status is now such with casual and global fans alike that every fight he has for the rest of his career will be on PPV in the UK, no matter the opponent. In isolation I don't mind the Molina fight as it can at least be used as a yardstick against Wilder's performance. It's just that we thought we were getting Joshua vs Klitschko next instead which makes the fight disappointing.

    If anyone on here thinks Hearn cares what anyone says then they have another thing coming.....openly admitted hasn't much time for the hardcore boxing fans as it's the casuals that bring in the money.

    Got no problem if he wants Joshua on ppv but let's be fair the undercard is crap and why is the price 16.95 v klitschko and 16.95 v Molina??

    Shouldnt be on PPV this its a decent card and we pay more than enough for Sky Sports.

    Seems anything resembling a half decent card is PPV when really PPV should be reserved for supefights only with quality undercards.

    Hearn pays himself or his top fighters too much imo so the whole card suffers or it gets chucked on PPV.

    Wont be long before 16.95 is for **** like this then the bigger fights will be £25-30

    If Joshua wasn't on the bill this fight would be a ss1 job average card to be fair. but if you don't like it don't pay

    Joshua is going to be mollycoddled for the rest of his career.

    If Whyte smashes Chisora, there's a rematch.

    Expect nothing of note from these two till about late 2017.

    Whyte rematch/injury/burned out and needs a break/avoids big fights etc. That's the pattern.

    It is quite simple really, if you do not like it, or think it is not worthy then simply just do not buy it, that is the only way you get your message across, especially if enough people do it.

    Less money for Hearn and Co, makes them sit up and take note

    Gary Cornish?

    He will still be charging championship prices for the seats, but not paying out championship purses to the opponents! Molina isn't good enough it's as simple as that Kubret Pulev would have been my choice for A.J.
    Even Alexander Ustinov or Mariusz Wach would have been a better opponent than Molina.imo.

    Problem is, every hardcore boxing fan could boycott it but it'll still be a financial success for Hearn. The casual interest is too huge
