    Agree. But even the stacked cards...there good nights of boxing. The mitchell one recently was decent value for example. But at the same time these fighters should be on free with the money people are paying for sky. In the hope that it puts them in the shop window to become genuine ppv stars. I dont think any of the three warrant ppv. Including klitchko v fury. Everybodies talked over the years how boring klitchko is. A lot dont even tune in when hes free to view. And as much as fury talks and entertains his skills dont match anything like worthy of ppv. It was only the other year they couldnt sell out a chisora fight with plenty of fireworks pre fight.

    White v joshuas laughable at this stage of their careers. And for me as decent as brook is hes not entertaining enough for it. Ppv should be for the guys that arent just winning but entertaining as well against the proven top guys in the division imo.

    Eddie also said he thinks the Fury fight won't happen until January or February now. I would be very ****ed off if this is because Sky wont put it on PPV in November because they already have Brook and Joshua on PPV already, which neither are ******ted.

    I remember after Warrren said a few months back that sky wanted about 8 PPVs a year everybody called him a lying joker...it would appear he was right.

    In regards October 24th its easy to forget this was not a 'matchroom' PPV...it is a sky/K2 card-the Sheffield card was just a part of it That hearn is promoting.

    So essentially with the collapse of klit/fury fast eddie has now gained a 'bonus' PPV date....

    There is zero reason for it to remain PPV...hr talks about contracts are signed which is complete BS. Chaves is being paid peanuts and nothing else of note is on the card. Fast Eddie will now 'stack' the card was with Eubank, Martin Murray etc against latvian bums - boycott this mess

    Chaves P4P is a much better defence than Fury is.

    The fight has some intrigue, not for £20 though

    Wait til Sky start promoting it, they will make it out to be the fight of the century

    What's their angle?

    The man who has one ONE meaningful fight at WW against the man who HASN'T won one meaningful fight at WW?
