Announcement for fight on the Froch Kessler card

Bellew owes Hearn big time.... Eddie has delivered for him & it's about time Bellew starts backing up his mouth.

**** or bust for Bellew

 

An increase in the cost of the PPV will be a big bollock drop if it happens IMO

 

Wouldn't be a huge shock to me, he might drive away more viewers than he thought if he did it though. It would be a risky move, £17.50 wouldnt be a huge increase on £14.95 but as a stand alone price it will test peoples interest thats for sure.

 

I'm still undecided on whether staging the fight the same evening as the Champions League final is a good or bad thing...

Part of me thinks pubs up and down the country will be advertising the final + the boxing to draw punters in... Now I imagine a licensed premises will have to pay more to show PPV than a residential property. So perhaps Eddie is banking on every bar in London showing the fight...

Likewise groups of lads will be getting together to watch the CL final, so again it's likely that most will just chip in (price of a pint between 4 mates) for the fight after the football is finished.

There is a danger that the fight will just get lost in the shuffle, but with Sky's hype machine behind it I'm sure it will do great business.

I'm sure both promoters wish there was a bit more needle between the two guys.... Respectfulness doesn't sell as well as good vs evil in the eyes of the public

 

Im not massively convinced the champs lg final will have a major impact now there are no english teams in it.

 

I think that its a hell of a risk.

 

Ad long as theres another 2/3 decent fights on the card I have no issue with this.

 

Kessler is supposed to be getting around £1.5million.

 

Embarrassing. Predictable. Doesn't deserve PPV.

Just keep making the Bellew-Chilemba fight until Bellew wins then ay Eddie?

THIS IS IT.

If they are throwing this rematch on that card just to make the card seem more worthy of PPV, then thats complete and utter BS.

This was a "free" fight just the other day.

 

Bellew Chilemba 2?

Eddie should be paying me £17.50 to watch

 

Perfectly put mate. Hate to say but if Tony loses he can forget all about world titles or world level opposition. He's 30 and it's now or never. If he can't correct the mistakes from last time and win convincingly then he'll never be a world level operator.

 

No it wasnt.

If Groves is in a decent fight its a step up from previous Sky PPV efforts.

 

:good:good:good

So Sky Box Office has gone up n' all has it?

£17.49 :scaredas:

How much was Wrestlemania?

Are Sky dictating that price or is it the choice of the people broadcasting on the channel?

 

Was it PPV then that fight? :huh

I aint gonna lie, I didnt watch it. I'm kind of glad I didnt considering just how many people said it was a naff fight.

Bellew is the next Junior Witter.

Death by Boredom. Its a surprise Chilemba didnt just fall over bored to death and let him win?

Oh! An opportunity to maybe end the fight? What is this Tony? What shall we do Tony? Ahhhhh **** it, it'll come again!

 

It is just speculation that it has gone up in price, I think wrestlemania was £17.49 or something like that (I didn't get it) but saw the advert and remember thinking that is expensive.

I personally would pay £17.50 just for the main fight, I missed the first fight due to the volcano cloud and it wasn't possible for me to go out the week after.

I won't be paying the £17.50 because I am going to the O2 but if it is half as good as the first fight then it is worth the ticket price alone.

I am all for solid undercards but I think in this case the Kessler vs froch fight is worth the price alone and anything on top of that is a bonus.
