    Cons are pulled off by deception but there's no deception here. If you like the card, buy it, and if you don't, don't buy it. I don't know why people are constantly arguing this point. You aren't being forced to pay anything.

    The fact he's charging extra money for this pile of wank is insulting, sky dropped ppv for a reason which Edward has totally ignored, hopefully this flops badly and we have no ppv in future or at least a CARD worthy of it.

    If you're going to bring back PPV on Sky, then have a good card to do it with. Froch vs Kessler 2 is a quality main event sure, but overall the card is lacking.

    Wasn't Hearn involved in the Haye vs Audley PPV? That was a ****ing con. Boxing fans were aware that Audley didn't belong in the same ring and yet they did that show to milk the British public.

    Main event;

    Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler - worth the PPV alone


    Supporting event(s);

    Tony Bellew vs Isaac Chilemba - good enough to be a supporting fight.
    George Groves vs Noe Alcoba - not good enough.


    I can see what TS is saying, 2 good fights and the rest are meh.

    Tony Bellew V Isaac Chilemba
    George Groves V Argentine

    On one bill you can't complain, you have the choice to buy it or not, if you don't want to don't but shut up and stop whining, if you pay and then moan afterwards you're allowed an opinion, but there not making you buy it.

    It amazes me that people actually bought that PPV, Haye did tell us in his own unique way how one sided it would be

    Of course I will watch it but I won't pay £15 quid for it and that's because of the undercard. The less buys this does the better as far as I'm concerned that way the next PPV hopefully is better quality.

    You are paying for Froch v Kessler basically....not sure why but that's what's being asked of the fans.

    I'm guessing it's simply to line the greedy barstewards pockets involved, and maybe because they know its going to be a tough fight for both fighters.
