    I'll believe Whyte v Povetkin with no fans when I see it.

    It wouldn’t shock me if the PPV is £25 after all of this.

    As I’ve said before this whole idea is just to fulfill dates with Sky so the fights were never going to all top draw.

    There is no end to the greed by multi millionaire promoters and boxers - Tony Dosh PPV is the biggest grub of them all.

    Cannot spend his current PPV loot, even if he wiped his arris with £500 pound notes for the rest of his life, but he still sucks every possible penny from the pockets of the PPV mugths.

    If the PPV mugths keep on paying, the promoters and fighters will keep on fleecing.

    Only about 20% of viewers pay Box Office charges

    Some good, competitive fights right across those bills but no real stand out show. Good month of Boxing.

    Welborn is 34 and lost to fighters like William Warburton and Craig Cunningham. He got knocked out by Frankie Gavin and he's not won a fight for 2 years.

    I mean it’ll be at least £25, it’s just whether Sky feel this is the time to bump PPV prices up to £30. I imagine it won’t be and that will wait till the next AJ fight though.

    It won’t bomb. It’s a long time since a Sky PPV ‘bombed’, probably going back to the Kell Brook days. Whyte sells PPVs, and the ‘mugths’ will be desperate for a big PPV show after a few months of boxing, so this is almost a free hit for Sky and Matchroom.

    Where does Lee McGregor end up fighting? As he tweeted he had a fight signed the other day. Defends on Frank's card? As he would have been on the Taylor show BT had.

    I know.. he’s only fought a couple of times in two years in fairness and one was against Hurd. He’s also beaten people like Marcus Morrison and Tommy Langford. It’s a nice step up for Cash and a fight I like
