Will you pay ppv for Froch vs Kessler?

Unnecessary comment fella.

You said the undercard would be wank, and i am agreeing with you.

 

:deal

Do you think any casuals toying with the idea purchasing the fight are going to be swung by Barker v Lee??

I just think with the Champions League final being on that evening. People are not buying it for the undercard.

Barker v Lee could headline an event for Hearn & help fill his Sky dates. Why waste it if he doesn't need to?

Hopefully I'm massively wrong

 

I would totally respect the decision as a piece of business, but many claim on here that Eddie is in boxing for the fans. Putting on his first PPV with a poor undercard is hardly doing that!

But I'll wait and see.

 

Lee has been saying he wants another fight first anyway I think so don't think that Barker/Lee will materialise for the undercard.

In truth it probably isn't quite worthy of PPV status but as I can't get any tickets for it I will buy it anyway, it's a fight I'd like to see and we won't get too many more out of Froch so best to appreciate him while he's around.

 

I understand where you are coming from because for ppv you do need value for money which we haven`t had for the most recent ppv`s.For me if it`s anything like the first fight it would be worth £15 on it`s own but i can understand you`re point of view.I do expect the fight to be quality and the ppv to be far more value for money then the recent examples.

If the undercard is poor he will deserve some stick,he can`t just rely on the main event it could backfire,for Bute the undercard was poor for the price of the tickets and if the fight was stopped in the first by a clash of heads it would of left thousands dissapointed.

If he wants people to pay for ppv in the future the whole card should be top notch or risk people feeling short changed.I managed to get tickets and am really looking forward to the 25th

 

I'd have no problem with PPV if it delivered a stacked card with a great main event and a really tasty co-feature. Don King's PPVs in the 90s were incredible value.

Hopefully Eddie will put something solid together, but if it's just Froch-Kessler and that's it? Poor show.

 

The thing is how do you value PPV? Most people accept that the Haye/Wlad fight was ok for PPV but lets be honest that fight was shockingly dull. Kessler and Froch might not be the biggest names or fighting at the most attractive weight or have the casual cross over appeal but they're bound to have a very entertaining fight at least!

Fair enough,can`t argue with that way of thinking.

 

in fairness Don King was paying fighters £50k for a world title defence.

 

Jonsey - WTF?

 

Bloody hell if we got all of those fights,Eddie really would be the savior

 

Love to see Barker fight Geale I think he's perfect for Barker.

 

would these be good PPV's?

I never said it was moral, just that the cards were stacked!

He'd possibly be bankrupt too! But Khan-Brook, PPV? Nah... Khan's never done big PPV numbers and I doubt Brook ever will.
