    Would you agree with him?

    I think there have been some stinkers

    AJ vs Parker - terrible fight
    AJ vs Takam - terrible fight
    Bellew vs Haye 2 - conned the fans

    PPV's shouldn't be judged retrospectively. You pay upfront. So that means the quality of the PPV needs to be judged on the card as it's written as opposed to if a stinker on paper turns out to be an excellent fight. You don't get your money back if it stinks.

    Yep, same with any show really. It's up to the promoter to make good match ups, but he can't make the fighters be entertaining. I never buy PPVs, but if something has to be then a heavyweight unification should be (Joshua/Parker).

    The likes of Haye-Bellew 2 were terrible, given it was known Haye was broken and spent.

    Hearn needs to know that for it to count as being a 'stacked undercard', the well known fighter has to be in a compelling fight. Not just throwing in Callum Smith and Kell Brook Vs some bums

    Absolutely mate - I judge them all as stinkers and don't buy any.

    For every Tony Dosh v Clit you get 15-20 stinkers

    Wish you would kindly GTF with that. It's not witty or clever, just a nuisance.

    Eddie Hearn is a salesman. His job is to seperate you from your money. His fake jack the lad personality seems to have made people fall love in with him for some strange reason.

    On his PPV’s Frampton v Quigg, Joshua v Parker, Joshua v Takam and Bellew v Haye 2 we’re all crap.

    Very fair point that and the right way to judge it tbf, I think it’s normal to judge the card after the event but you are right the card is put together and weather it sells or not or delivers or not is out of the control of the promotors, that’s the only way to judge a card and I have to say thanks for making me realise it. It’s the same as any sporting event isn’t it, when the best come together there’s always the possibility that they don’t deliver. That has no bearing on the promoter all they do is put them together. I must say I have never actually thought about it like that, but you are completely right.

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao stunk to high heaven and thats probably one of the very few fights that was truly PPV worthy.

    As PaddyGarcia said you cant judge them retrospectively.
