    This kind of attitude is the reason why they get away with it.

    For me, it's a has-been versus a never-was and the cheek of expecting £20 for it is ridiculous. I'll either watch it in the pub, stream it or catch a replay.

    Anyone remember the good ol' days of £16.95 PPV's?

    ITV are really missing a trick here

    You couldn't pay me to watch this. Like any PPV, I can watch this without funding the farce but would need to be really bored to waste my time on it and I love boxing.

    I actually think it's an alright fight. Eubank has lost to Groves and Saunders who are both quality, and he tends to be in exciting fights. I enjoyed Degale against Jack and Dirrell - Truax just seemed like very odd matchmaking.

    I don't really get the idea of people who love the sport suggesting they have no interest. They're not elite anymore (or ever where) but it should still be a decent scrap.

    Google 'Papa John's discount code' mate. They are doing 50% off orders on twenty quid in January so you can get xl stuffed crust for like 13 quid delivered. That's value for money, but not as good as 100% off PPVs, google is also your friend for that bargain lol

    There may be some method in the madness there though? The pubs will be packed and will be tempted to fork out for the fight to keep their punters in for another couple of hours. Plenty of people on the ale for the rugby may be tempted to lash out for the fight. Frankly the more people whose judgment is impaired the better this will do...

    They're might be if it was a Joshua or big name ie wahey get the lads round, beers, beers, pizza, lads lads type wankers but I don't think tons of people are going to excited for James Shopping Centre De Gale and Chris Eubank

    It's like a British title fight with no Lonsdale belt on the line. Think I'll watch this one on YouTube on Sunday morning.

    It'll be an exciting fight that I'd look forward to watching on terrestrial TV. However, I will not be paying a score to watch it.

    Stupid and greedy, I thought this was £10 for some reason. I have always liked jr but not paying for this, not even a title fight!

    ITV had a really good chance to do somtbing with boxing and have messed it up being so short sited.

    i am not paying for that, instead i am watching warrens card. The bowen vs clarke looks a better fight anyway, yarde opponent a step up, and the challanger could be decent
