I've paid 15 quid for 1 froch fight didn't even watch the undercard so groves degale and cleverly braehmer is definitely worth it I'm going to the fight anyway so not too bothered.
Frank has dropped the ball on this. He is relying on DeGale vs Groves to sell while mentioning a world title fight against a person people have never heard of or even seen in the media. Frankie is in a **** fight but it is good enough to pad a card out. For a PPV, 2 more decent fights are still desperately needed. What Frank doesn't prepare for is fall outs, poor performances etc When the UFC or SF stack a card and someone gets injured or doesn't perform then it doesn't affect a true fan because the card is packed with at least 3 or 4 can't wait to watch fights. What happens if DeGale or Groves gets injured? Then this card falls apart quicker then you can say 'I wanna ruin Bella Gonzales'
If Groves/DeGale gets called off, Cleverly/Braehmer will just move to a regular sky sports channel and the box office will be cut.
I'll definitely be buying this. Given that I was gonna go anyway but couldn't talk anyone into it..... and that I've been wanting to see Groves vs DeGale for a year now, would be very hypocritical of me to refuse to buy an event because of a supposedly crap undercard. There's two very good main events and there'll be some prospects on the show.... not too shabby if you ask me.
Disappointed that the undercard doesn't have a bit more quality on there but i'm itching to see the Degale/Groves clash so i'll probably end up shelling out for it.
I'm buying it. Most fans have been waiting for over a year to see DeGale and Groves go at it. Sure DeGale's probably going to win, but there's enough people out there angered by DeGale's demeanour / antics to have a real wave of support for the 'Ugly Kid' underdog. Plus I've been impressed by Cleverly since he fought Courtney Fry (though I knew of him before then). Young British lad gets a world title shot against a tough German is also a good fight. The Gavin fight is filler though. I mean, come on, **** Mutley.
not worth the ppv view for me with degale vs groves alone and the slapper in his title quest which he will not win....hardly worth 15 sheets imo......lets hope the degale vs groves fight is a rip snorter!
Unreal how similar your predicament is to mine. I was 100% going but couldn't talk mates into it as they felt stung after the froch v dirrell fight. My missus even paid for my ticket but then my mate got made redundant so sold tickets. Will be watching at home with a dominos pizza and 8pint barrell of heineken
