    Sums up the whole card mate - 8/15 for an 8 fold yet Eddie spouting his usual bull about many 50/50 fights on the undercard.

    The PPV mugs being ripped a new one time and again - thought the Fraud PPV exhibition v Conman McGregor would have opened many eyes.

    If you read this forum Eh Day, here is my response to your PPVs :fufu

    Robbery is probably the wrong word to use. I don't think for the amount I pay for Sky sports I have a god given right for every sport. I just think that when it comes to Sky sports box office PPV anyone who has the Sky sports package should have a discount and not pay the same price as a non Sky customer.

    I think what you are trying to say why is the price £19.95,i would be fine with something like £9.95 but that's not viable as they wouldnt make any profit from it.I have said,i dont have a problem with PPV for Elite Boxers.Boxing in General as it's the most dangerous sport, and the most physically exhuming,they are not like soft footballers who get nearly 10 times as much.PPV is the only way a boxer will get paid handsomely,as their are no other revenue streams,most of Sky's money goes to the Footballers,so i definitely agree with the concept.But i have said Elite Boxers at their peak only on PPV.In the UK,that is only Joshua.Not rubbish like Bellew and A injured and aged Haye,Boxing fans dont want to fund someone else's family,they want entertainment and Knockouts.Joshua fits the Bill,Not Bellew,Not Haye,Not Brook.

    Just listen to it on the radio if you think it's not a PPV worthy fight (or watch it illegally online if that's your thing).

    The sad thing is a big fight involving a British fighter is only viewed by a tiny minority of the population.

    Tony Dosh is already a multi millionnaire and made for life so there really is no justification for Eh Day fleecing the mugs with this gash card and headline fight - fook me Doshua is 1/25 odds on and worse FFS

    My mate's paying for it and i'm going round to watch it for free. So I don't care if it's ppv or not.

    Yes i'm a scrounger. But I don't care.

    I'm bringing some pringles with me so i'm not completely tight.

    It would have been very interesting to see how many viewers there would've been if AJ Klit was on Free tv, bbc for example.

    It is sad that not many of the population are watching someone like AJ, I agree with that.

    Won't be buying this one. Not at all. Even when it was Pulev as the opponent I wasn't going to be handing my money over for it.

    Well on RTL,which is a free channel,got 10m while it did not have any german connection.I guess around 15/20m would have watched it on BBC or ITV.But their is no money their,thats why they have to go to Sky.Is the UK the only PpV country in Europe?
