    Really? There isn't live sport 24/7 every day? Amazing!

    Do you want them to invent new sports just to fill the hours?! If you are a sports fan Sky Sports has by far the more live content. It's not even a debate!! I have BT, Sky Sports and with that Eurosport. I watch far more stuff on Sky than any other. Their 'filler' stuff is also better than BT or Eurosport have in my view but yeah your not going to watch it more than once but it's not designed for that!

    Duh.

    Do you honestly think that you get value for your money with SS? You might get 2-4 shows a week that's good, the rest? Garbage. You make it sound like I'd be missing out on all of these amazing sporting events without Sky, yet that is so far from the case.

    It's just like Sky in general: Utter tosh.

    I'm no fan boy of any 'broadcaster' but i watch far more Sky Sports than ANY other channel including bbc, itv etc. So its value for money for me yes 100%

    But thats got nothing to do with ppv! ;)

    Hearn on his latest ifl interview said AJ v Molina did close to AJ v Whyte numbers.

    AJ v Klitchko is going to do silly numbers.

    I TOTALLY CALLED IT £19.95 for this great fight (but utterly shite card) which means fast Eddie can now charge £19.95 for Bellend v Parker or summit. What a chav scumbag. If it goes 3 rounds like I think it will be £7 a minute! Rather call babestation. Dullest build up ever. They are both boring as ****.

    Joshua and Clit are simply a couple of grubs who have already earned more than they can spend in 10 lifetimes.

    There really is no case at all for shafting Sky Sports Subscribers an extra £20 given the above and the fact that 90,000 expensive tickets have been sold.

    If they won't fight on Sky Sports - then fook them.

    We're not talking about paying £20 as a one off to watch a fight - we're talking about paying £20 on top of an already expensive package and off the back of several recent PPV events as is.

    If your only interest in Sky Sports is Boxing it's a bit excessive to pay all this given their lack of coverage of the sport overall.

    You don't need a sky subscription anymore to order these one off ppvs, an increase of £3 pounds is reasonable, you guys never heard of inflation, seeing as how the price over the years has not gone up massively compared to the US. I don't like Hearn but anyone complaining at this really needs to question there existence.

    Both fighters have earned more money already than they could spend in 10 lifetimes.

    These two greedy Grubs cannot squeeze enough money out of people.

    There is no justification for this fight to be PPV for existing Sky Sports Subscribers.

    It's all relative, Joshua could probably spend what he has earned so far in a few years living a luxurious life, not a Billionaire yet.

    Like any business Sky plc has an obligation to its shareholders to maximise profits, a £3 increase in this day and age is not extortionate.

    It is how the business model works, what more can you do, if Sky were to give this fight for free to subscribers there would be no fight. Klitschko would not come over to fight for peanuts. He has options and Sky has plenty of competition. The number of buys will prove the model works. People on here like to complain at anything and everything.

    Nearly all of the PPV fights are on terrestrial TV in Germany and these fighters don't need the extra obscene money.

    It is a national disgrace that people keep being fleeced.
