Apart from Groves vs Murray - Saturday's card is awful

Its disgusting, how on earth is this a PPV event?

Sky Sports have made a mistake with this in my opinion but all I can think is they are going to give Joshua everything he wants because Hearn has mentioned a few times about his contract expiring next year so they have to keep him happy and have to make sure he signs a new deal.

So Joshua has to be a PPV star for Matchroom and Sky, they can't have it any other way.

 

Today's press conference antics were the most staged bull c.rap scripted events ive ever seen

 

Was out for a dog walk and some guy was asking if I was watching boxing y
Sat and wd I buy it. Comes to something when groves v Murray is the only decent fight on a ppv

 

I honestly believe this event will flop.

I can't see how this event breaks even, Groves and Murray is the best fight but is certainly not a PPV fight and Joshua and Breazeale is a mismatch and they are just not charismatic enough to make this remotely interesting.

Also I have been offered quite a few tickets for this, I think the boxing fans who bought tickets expecting a very good undercard (as promised) have been mugged and know they have been mugged.

 

To break even you are talking 100-150k buys which it should do easily.

Sky have no real other PPV fighters currently (bar perhaps Brook) so if Joshua gets beaten or injured they are in a real bind.

 

Sky get huge money from sponsors ect....the.ads on the fight breaks ect....I hope it does flop but cant see it....the undrrcard is poor...and the purses for the undercard will be poor aswell....aj takes all

 

Surely the money from sponsors/advertising is vastly reduced for a PPV event?

 

You would think that but the fukers still have adverts in between rounds! Which seriously ****es me off.

 

Are all your threads just hating on British boxing?

 

It will do fine.

It's not remotely PPV worthy of course, but it will take a while before British people are so fed up with this bull that they'll stop buying that s__t.

 

I'll be out. Will make an effort to find a pub for Groves Murray. Not bothered about the rest

:think You may well be right, the undercard is so poor I can't imagine that cost Hearn much.

But I wouldn't be surprised if this event is shunned though, like I said people are trying to dump tickets. I buy most PPV events but I've not even thought about buying this.

I would have liked to have watched Groves Vs Murray but it's not a fight I'd cancel plans to see and the rest of the card is a joke.

And I agree, Matchroom have quite a few world champions but the only one they can really justify as a PPV fighter is Joshua (if he is in big fights with big names) and if he gets lamped anytime soon then they will have a problem.

 

one decent fight (groves v Murray). no idea why they made it PPV, it cant do many buys.

 

Casuals don't care about a mis match. As long as they see a big name in each fight eddie knows for a fact this will make big numbers!
