    POLL: Fury vs AJ

    If Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua finally happens, what would you rather have?

    Option 1: Pay £30 PPV and watch it at a sensible UK time, around 10 to 11pm.

    Option 2: Watch it FREE on Netflix, but the main event starts around 4am GMT.

    £30 PPV
    ✅ Proper Saturday night fight atmosphere
    ✅ Watch it live with friends, pubs full, huge UK event
    ❌ Another £30 on top of all your subscriptions

    FREE on Netflix at 4am
    ✅ No PPV fee
    ✅ Potentially a massive global audience
    ✅ Could introduce millions of casual fans to boxing
    ❌ Staying awake until 4am
    ❌ Kills the traditional UK fight-night atmosphere
    ❌ A lot of UK fans will probably just watch the replay

    For a fight as British as Fury vs AJ, does the start time matter more than the price?

    £30 at 10/11pm or FREE at 4am? Vote Above

    4am is a **** take

    It isn’t like they are at their prime, I don’t think the Americans give a toss about them

    I'm not buying it because I don't consider it PPV worthy, but as a British boxing fan I hope the fight is held in the UK at an accessible time. Even if I think the fight is past its sell by date it's better for the sport if these two fight here and hopefully manage to engage the wider public in a night of boxing.

    I see the….

    “it’s only the price of a pizza” brigade are still out in force on here. Jurgen and Beale would be spinning in their graves at this poll.

    £30 is more a **** take for the same reason.

    Can fill loads of posters up with tea and hot chocolate. Dip your biscuits in them.



    Look everyone, this fella’s loaded.

    Average weekly take home in Britain is 565 a week being optimistic. Do you think spending one 19th of that on a sporting event that can end in 1 minute to watch in your own living room is nothing?

    I would get much more enjoyment watching the fight at 10-11pm and the following day wouldn’t be wrecked because I’m knackered. I’d happily pay PPV instead of watching it at 4am.

    Btw before anybody suggests it, I’m watching this live. I’m not getting up and watching it with my breakfast trying to avoid the result. I like watching sport live.

    Seven years ago I’d have paid for it. Now, I’ll take free on Netflix and watch it the next day, I’m just not that bothered.

    But in reality I’m probably option 3 - I’d rather it didn’t happen at all at this stage. I don’t think any of the parties involved - AJ, Fury, Hearn, Warren, DK, whoever deserve to make tens of millions from a fight that that should have happened years ago and didn’t because of sheer greed and egos.

    Netflix only care about subscription expansion if 4am is what gets them the most subscriptions then that's what time it will be.

    Neither of them options are good but I would be a ppv mug and probably pay £30 for it. We all know this fight is years to late but I still want to see it happen.

    they neither deserve the attention, nor the interest and certainly not the payday...

    it is a disgraceful assault to any integrity Boxing Once Had and the TRUE Great Champions who earned Top Level, which these two are not, especially Fury...

    it is a **** Take & Insult to Boxing Fans and young Boxing hopefuls and the Sport (???) in the main will suffer further scrutiny as to it's legitimacy.

    a Shameful SCAM!!!

    Won't be paying to watch it.
    I will however set my alarm clock/radio to listen to it if I can be bothered.
