    The problem is there are too many boxing fans that have been brainwashed into thinking these big fights can't happen without PPV.

    How? Because of this attitude that all big fights should be on PPV, promoters can keep fleecing us.

    It's bollocks.

    The fight was a good fight but why did it have to be PPV ?, PVV kills the sport.

    It is! Also not good for boxing if only 1 million people are watching on PPV and the rest is looking at some shitty internet streams. In germany 10 million people watching a fight on TV is not uncommen.

    Not worth it in the long run. The success of this PPV will ensure Frochs next fight is PPV. What are the options? Ward? Hopkins? Groves?

    No thank you.

    Steak for 15 quid is about the going rate. No win no loss, just a good night.

    Still didnt justify the 15 nicker, we all hoped and some of us even expected, Froch and Kessler to deliver again, which they did do. The undercard also proved what we expected also, it was dire. 3 fights, and one floater. A grand total of 4 fights, 3 of which awful and all better suited on Sky Sports 1. Sky also bombarding us with adverts during broadcast on PPV was a joke. No two ways about that. Not knocking the main event, Froch vs. Kessler II was awesome, but the card still proved what a lot of us said before the fights.....it wasnt good enough and because of that, it wasnt worthy of PPV.

    If you think Froch vs. Kessler II was worth the £15 alone, then you might aswell have gone to the fight and soaked up the atmosphere spending a little bit more and having an experience you will never forget.

    Sky could of shown some of the other fights that were on also, but cut away from the ring for those fights and either talked about the main event, did interviews, or showed video packages. They SHOULD of shown the fights. IMO.
