    boxing fans.

    Pulev is not well known, Usyk and Povetkin are more well known and more dangerous than Pulev.

    You think that with Usyk sales might not be better than with Pulev?
    Or with Whyte better sales than with Pulev?

    It becomes greed after a certain point. AJ already has enough to live his life very comfortably 50 times over. Don’t pay for this tosh. Expect a 50 quid ppv against Fury.

    100% I don't care what anybody says but they clearly ducked Usyk.

    Does this so called greed apply to every multi millionaire athlete? Top level footballers when signing new contracts should take a 50% reduction? Lewis Hamilton should take less money? Connor Mcgregor should take less money from the UFC?

    How about those actors getting multi millions per film? Time to to take less money as clearly they have enough already and if not its they are just being greedy.

    I think the thing which needs to be remembered here is nobody is forced to buy a PPV. The consumer is the one who holds all the cards here. They try to sell you a product and its up to you whether you see value in such product for the price point they ask for. If not don't buy and keep it moving.

    Coppinger has said the figures are nearer to 600k, his source is also Hearn.

    Haha. I remember watching the fight seeing Pulev scream like a mad man lol. Fair play he brought the fight to Joshua. Hopefully Eddie puts AJ in with Fury. Loser fights Wilder. Winner fights Uysk.

    Whilst they are getting 800k views for AJ potting a 40 year old has been that never was. Who was stretchered out of the ring 6 years ago against Wlad.

    Why bother putting together quality fights or taking any risks with opponents? Keep on milking that cash cow guys.

    This was a mandatory defence.

    One thing AJ can't be accused of is taking gimme fights.

    Who has he not fought?

    Wilder never wanted it.
    Ortiz never wanted it
    Whyte turned down a rematch.
    Wlad retired so no rematch.

    Fury was never an option until now.

    I get the mandatory defence. What I dont get is how the **** that is a PPV fight. It is an insult to the fans to make that PPV.

    Is AJ shaking out a wank going to be PPV, because by the logic of making the Pulev fight PPV. It is.

    Simply because otherwise it would be leaving money on the table.

    AJ probably has a bottom floor of say 500k ppv buys no matter who he fights. With a guarantee like that his a PPV attraction no matter what.

    Yeah I think it would do better numbers with Usyk obviously but I think an extra 1.2m+ is a bit of a stretch.

    Yes I think it applies to all of them. I certainly think it’s immoral for Lewis Hamilton to be paid the the obscene amount he is and he don’t even pay tax in the UK. I think we all know AJ would have had input about hiking his PPV up by another 5 quid during a global pandemic. I think top actors are grossly overpaid for what they do. I understand the concept of supply and demand fine. Still makes it immoral in my book. Footballers as well.

    Biggest fight in UK history and it’s going to be in a different country and people are going to be charged at least 30 quid to watch it. I don’t understand why people defend stuff like this.
