Can Sky really get away with DeGale vs Groves on its own as a PPV?

    Exactly my point. I dont care if its being billed as some sort of Grudge match. It is not worth £15 alone, sorry. If i can watch Froch vs Johnson for Free I certainly aint paying for to kids slap about.

    its not worth 15 but in the context of khan vs salita/***an/prescott, lewis vs botha etc. its more worthy

    I think any domestic fight that's PPV is required contractually to be a "Grudge Match" these days.

    You watch, it won't be long before the words "Genuine needle" will require an extra £5 on the fee...

    Khan v just about anybody over the past two years, I love the sense of perspective on this board:rofl. Lets face it, Khan should be shot, the guy is subhuman and so is anybody who is either a)muslim, b) p*kistani or c) both. If both, then they deserve to be flailed, hung, drawn & quatered...... And I say this as an upstanding catholic (now where is that cheek I put that tongue in???)

    I don't wanna see Bellew vs Cleverly. Its not a competative fight with a 10 week training camp for each man.

    What the **** are you on about? Why does it matter that he's a muslim? Are you seriously suggesting Groves v DeGale is less of a competitive fight than Khan against ***an, Salita, Barrera, McCloskey etc.

    Sky have confirmed it will still be ppv according to BoxingNews twitter feed.

    Bellew sounds keen but if he has to lose weight quickly he's not doing himself, or the fans, any favours.

    Just seen this news that Braehmer has pulled out :rofl

    Feel sorry for Clev this must be so frustrating.

    But the timing of it is hilarious. About a month after all the criticism of Khan and this card is now even worse!

    sky have said it will remain on ppv because it has a deeper undercard. absolute joke.

    Love the double standards, anyone who applauded Sky for how they dealt with the Khan fight ready to lay into Sky now??? I doubt it....

    Sky have wasted money again making another Behind the Ropes show as well where they sent Ed Robinson out to Germany for a while to film Braehmer's preparations :rofl

    i expect they probably regret telling khan to **** off regarding the strength of a ppv show now, created expectations for themselves that they now cant match and are just going to **** everyone off

    Barney Francis is a racist, and I will be exposing him and the devils at Sky soon! Adam Smith, nice guy but unfortunately he is a YES man!

    Absoloute JOKE!!

    they were only ever showing 3 fights because the undercard was ****!

    we can see sexton or smith or billy joe or frankie on any regular saturday night card.

    I am not paying £15 to see Degale vs Groves. END OF!!
