    I'm already at that point Mr Robney, If I don't go then I'll normally buy but I've had a enough of these poor cards and all the rubbish that goes with them.

    It's getting all so predictable, a list of mismatches, one maybe two half decent fights and a lot staged feuds with Eddie Hearn and the Sky Team hyping up "real tension".

    I normally crack a purchase right at the start, but I am really looking forward to Wales v N Ireland. This could go into extra time. The main event is Croatia v Portugal. I will struggle to fit in the boxing

    This must be seriously challenging the Bell v Clev 2 card for the worst Pay per Poo ever.

    It is sold as an event; and that is what every AJ fight is for the moment. The quality is not good, but that is not the point for the vast majority who will buy it.

    I'm not saying this card is good. But it isn't bellew Clev 2 bad, that was horrific.
    I didn't think much to quigg v Frampton.
    In fact, I can't think of the last good ppv card I watched.

    Pac v Money the biggest Pay per Poo stonker of all time.

    Most people see through Matchroom Pay per Poo cards - the same shyte that should be on Sky Sports - the only difference is they charge you extra for it.

    The problem being that the 'named' fighters on the card are mostly in mismatches, okay Groves Vs Murray is the stand out fight. But take that fight away and you have nothing. If they insist on Joshua being in PPV fights then have him fight decent opponents with a solid undercard. As someone mentioned, apart from Groves Murray the card is awful.

    It's worse than Bellew Vs Cleverly II card, far worse in my opinion.

    Bellew Vs Cleverly
    Quigg Vs Otake
    DeGale Vs Periban
    Joshua Vs Sprott
    McDonnell Vs Chacon
    Callum Smith Vs Sjekloca

    Are you honestly telling me Saturday's card is better than that?

    I don't see any fights to make it better than this card?

    Bellew v cleverly is never ever main event ppv quality
    Periban was coming off a loss draw loss before the DeGale fight
    Sprott was AJ's 10th fight
    Otake had a good record but fought absolutely nobody apart from Japanese people. He looked good on paper for casuals.
    Callum Smith was in with a guy who had a couple of 'names' on his resume
