What does everyone think of this?? I have no issue if the fight and undercard are good Will Brook v Spence be £20 also. How long until we are paying what the Yanks pay for PPV??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but PPV's from 10-15 years ago was around the £15 mark wasn't they? so to have only gone up around a fiver in over a decade isn't that much of a pi55 take to be honest - I am not a fan of the PPV model by the way, have only ever purchased one in the last 10 years. The Yanks pay crazy money for PPV's don't they? although I guess that over there they lose the income from commercial breaks on their PPV's, which may be another reason why ours are a lot cheaper as we still have the ad breaks throughout the PPV.
I agree with the above post tbh 20quid not going to make anybody bankrupt is it. The undercard was never going to be stacked as most the £££ be going to klitschko and Joshua. There's always a pub to watch it in, or if you don't want give 20 for it find a pal to go halves with.. And yes the Mericans are over the top when it comes to ppv
Will be watching in a bar - never buy PPVs and never will. Sky subscribers should not be charged extra for Boxing.
I have no problem with Joshua-Klitschko being PPV as is a top notch fight. However, I feel fast car is now taking the **** by now bumping up the PPV price whilst providing a dog **** undercard. The likely scenario is this becomes the new baseline PPV price as this fight was the perfect cover to sneak the price up and no doubt will remain for all subsequent events
I have an issue with this as a) the undercard is terrible and b) everyone else in Western Europe gets to see it for free. Pure money grab by Hearn (who is getting a massive gate) and especially Sky who frankly aren't investing in the sport at all- PPV would rarely be needed if they actually paid decent rights fees. I'm intrigued to see if this is a one off or the price going forward.
My missus used my mobile to get on to Sky Box Office to complain about the technical problems that stopped me watching most of the Haye-Bellew card. 23 minutes, £13 bill. With the issues that night they would have raked it in just off the back off all the complaints.
Sky have many 0333 numbers, which are inclusive in any minutes you'd have? They do have some 0800 numbers but if you phone then of a mobile, the bill is your responsibility.
Vlad will be, by far, the best fighter Joshua has ever fought period!!! Camerelle out boxed Joshua in the Olympics, but was robbed by home cooking..................Vlad is the older of the two, but not too long ago, Vlad was totally superior while sparring in camp. Vlad is a little taller than Joshua, is quicker, better footwork, balance, variety of punches, and people forget that Vlad is an extremely powerful puncher, knows how to counter, has the skills, also a gold medalist, has the experience, can set you up, have movement, angles, when Joshua punches, Vlad will counter, so this fight will be interesting..............too many give Vlad zero chance of winning this fight, but Vlad could knock Joshua out, he has the better defense and stamina..................this fight will not be easy for Joshua, fans think it will be a first round knock out, total mismatch, but compare Vlad, even the worst Vlad with Joshua's opponents. Whyte hurt Joshua, damn, if Whyte can hurt Joshua, Vlad can knock him out. Fans forget that Vlad is also a puncher, just not as tight, more relaxed, more skills, faster.........................we should see a really good fight. How much has Joshua improved? How much has Vlad gone down hill? Foreman was 45 when he won the title, Vlad will be 41, he was 41 March 25th................Vlad has been looking really good in camp, in fantastic shape, really never gets out of shape, but he is up for this fight...................I will not be surprised if Vlad knocks Joshua out..........................but Vlad could lose also, this is what makes this fight so interesting..............plus Vlad has that spark back................
so for £19.95 you get Klitschko v Joshua Katie Taylor v n/a Quigg v simion Okolie v n/a Cordina v n/a
I'm not happy paying for PPV but at least we get to see world title fights in prime time and not at 4am in America i guess.
