    I know that a lot of people watch these events without paying for them so I’ve tried to word it correctly, so do you think they’re worthy of PPV for the British public? How many of them would you buy if there was no possible way to watch them for free?

    So Canelo-Golovokin Today on BT Sport Box Office
    Joshua v Povetkin on Sky Sports Box Office
    Groves on ITV Box Office
    And that’s just September

    November
    Bellew-Usyk- Sky Sports Box Office

    December
    Wilder-Fury- BT Sport Box Office
    Whyte-Chisora 2- Sky Sports Box Office

    I expect Khan-Brook to take place in February or March 2019.
    The fact that Whyte has become a PPV Fighter is hilarious.
    My advice is pick and choose which ones you want to buy.

    I’ll be buying Joshua-Povetkin and Wilder-Fury while streaming the rest comfortably from my laptop and connecting it to my tv, just like i’ve been doing since 2013 when PPV Came back.


    What’s everyone else doing ?

    Add Frampton vs Warrington to your list for December. The amount of PPVs are definitely getting out of hand.

    Some of the WBSS cards will be PPV too- bizarrely in October there are two cards on Channel 5.

    The Cyclone show on the 13th with Bakole and McGregor both in relatively decent fights.

    Think of it as pick and mix mate. Joshua-Povetkin, Wilder-Fury and at a push Bellew-Usyk seem good value. Just stream the rest and don’t feel lured by Sky propoganda or Hearn BS

    It's a shame as these PPVs are not helping boxing and are infact creating even more division for fans.

    You PPV celebrators have made your bed now you have to pay in it.

    How much would you say Brook vs Khan would cost? I'd offer a 20 to see Khan KO'd by Kell... hope that covers it.

    For the rest, some of the prices are too insane to make it worth it, or don't care enough about the fights to pay extra for them.
    So Brook vs Khan, for 20 max.
