    Eddie is apparently seeing if fury can fight on the undercard in Sheffield or get more fighters in to still justify a ppv

    Honestly I wouldn't even watch the card for free at this point

    Surely not but with the Hearns involved who knows?

    Actually lets put Fury vs Eddie on the undercard. I'd pay to see that.

    If this is a ppv it will show how much boxing on Sky has regressed . If whyte vs Joshua is also ppv it will be a tragedy when you can't even watch a domestic level fight without paying 17 £ on top of sky's large subscriptiom rates

    There is a video interview over on the Scene. They want it to stay PPV.

    Yeah Eddie pretty much said its still PPV on his latest ifltv interview. Probably thinks 'stacking' the card with 10 domestic match ups warrants it. Boycott it.

    Neither joshua v white or brooks chaves ******t ppv. Doesnt matter how much you stack the card. Brooks not even that entertaining to watch. And joshuas finishing opponents too quickly. Hes pushing them into ppv,s way before they should be regardless if brooks has a belt or not can see it backfiring. At least with hatton, froch etc you knew you were in for a decent fight. Should only be proven headliners in big fights for ppvs. Problem is hearn doesnt have any. Wont be buying either. And i ve bought a lot of ****e over the years including cleverly v bellew.

    Eddie Hearn back in 2013:

    “That’s important, [Haye’s first fight with Matchroom to be on Sky Sports] especially with our mission because fan perception of what we’re doing is important, we don’t want them to think: ‘Oh, Froch-Kessler’s pay-per-view so that’s how it is going to go now,’ — it isn’t,” answered Hearn when asked if putting Haye on Sky Sports was an indication that the powers-that-be won’t milk the PPV teat dry.

    “Froch and Kessler is a freak fight that comes around once in many years, especially in the U.K., so when we signed David people came out and said it would be another pay-per-view, but it isn’t — what I’m saying is that pay-per-view should be for something very, very special. Haye on normal Sky Sports will do massive numbers, and that’s paramount to what I’m trying to do on Sky.”

    I wouldn't mind so much if they really were "stacking" the card, but that can't just be putting on name fighters in relatively uninteresting fights.

    Sky are well on their way to killing the PPV business again.

    Brook vs Chavez is not a PPV fight, Joshua vs whyte should not be PPV either. If you throw in rescheduled klit vs fury PPV fight then that is 3 PPV fights in less then three months.

    If sky do this then that are crazy. Asking for a big backlash.
