    I'm not sure, I've been trying to save 1 pound a day so I can watch the fight, but I've only 8 pounds so far, and 11 days to go.

    Maybe If I cancel my broadband, mobile phone network, having daily lunches at work, no pizza this weekend, and cut down on organic food produce I'll have the money on time.

    I need to know if this does good "numbers" before I decide if I will buy it. I am terrified of being the only one to buy this.

    Several boxing pages on Facebook/twitter saying only a few thousand tickets have sold. I thought Allen/Price would really help ticket sales.

    It's not a bad card but there's no quality fighters on it so I don't see the reason for PPV.

    It's an absolute JOKE this is PPV. Probably the worst I've seen for some time.

    Ridiculous and I hope it fails, I like Whyte and it isn't his fault, he gets paid regardless but I hope Hearn and Sky lose money.

    The card is just awful.

    Okolie Vs TBA.. excuse me? we don't know who is fighting and it's so late now they will get away with some journeyman because of the fact it is this late in the day.

    Price Vs Allen, two losers, two bang average Heavyweights (generous saying average to be honest). The fact Price is on another PPV automatically makes me boycott this card, Price must have compromising information or video of Hearn.

    I have no idea how Price keeps getting on PPV cards, it's actually bizarre and Allen is a joker, nice man, funny sometimes but this "loveable loser" stuff is wearing a little thin now, I want quality boxing not "stories" like they have on Britains Got Talent.

    Dereck Chisora Vs Szpilka, Chisora has lost 9 times now, been KTFO by Whyte, got dragged the distance by Gashi and isn't worth watching most of the time. As for Szpilka, his claim to fame is getting KTFO by Wilder.

    Riakporhe Vs Billam-Smith, both novices, errr who the hell cares? Sorry, my bad, it's for the WBC inter-continental title, WOW, I didn't know it was big time.


    Oh and a Southern Area Title fight.. that's just taking liberties.


    I hope everybody loses, they are now taking British Boxing fans for total morons and ripping people off in my opinion.

    Thurman vs Pac on ITV PPV is much better value for money tbh

    completely agree....a future Hall of Famer against a champion in his prime .....I will never know how Whyte become PPV in the first place,i mean why?

    Nobody is buying tickets or the PPV which is why Hearn wont announce Lomachenko is coming to the UK to fight Campbell soon...

    Lomachenko is well worth paying to watch

    Agreed, plus it's only 12.95 which is good value, great main event with a decent undercard.

    The three heavyweight fights could be main events on three regular Sky Sport cards.

    It’s getting silly with these PPVs- clearly Hearn is just filling quotas with any old cards for Sky. Ultimately all fights on this card have little or no consequence other than to be eliminators for belts down the line.

    I haven't paid for a whyte ppv yet and I'm not about to start, the guy should be nowhere near headlining a ppv. The undercard is abysmal as well.
