    How does everyone feel about this?

    Eddie said recently the card would have to be STACKED to justify Sky Box Office.

    I think it is an intriguing match up but clearly, the main event does not warrant the platform alone...just my view though!

    It's later this year as well. How many PPVs can they get away per year?

    Hearn said for month thats only fights that can only be made using PPV will be PPV, this is a mandatory defence and groves will have taken a reasonable purse for the fight. Hearns has definitely led folk on here.

    It deffo won't be in London if November 23rd is the date as rumoured, o2 Arena has 30 Seconds to Mars playing that night and Wembley Arena has Queens of The Stone Age playing.
    Both Nottingham and Manchester arena's don't have anything booked in for that evening just yet, so will surely be one of those two.

    Who cares when you don't need to pay ppv as well when you are in the arena

    How did froch vs kessler do ppv numbers wise? Think its a hard sell as a ppv but froch deserves the ppv money!

    won't be Nottingham Carl has sadly outgrown the Nottingham Arena now whoever he fights.

    Only way you see Froch fight in Nottingham now is outdoors and that won't happen in nov/dec

    No way he deserves a million!! He'll get a decent purse but surely at least half that!
