    Sorry another PPV thread but just looking at the facts it’s quite disturbing that Whyte is about to headline his 5th yes 5th PPV fight on sky sports with Povetkin . The guy has never been a world champion never fought for a world title , the only belt he had ever won was a vacant British Title!!

    It’s crazy how Eddie Hearn and Sky can justify this and people are just lapping it up it was only a few years ago there was a chance PPV was gone forever , now it seems any standard of fight can headline a PPV night on Sky!

    As already above he really should've had a shot at the WBC by now. Sadly they make their rules up as they go along, although his own part in this with the 'confusion' over his test may also have played a part...

    If he's up against a decent opponent he's a legit contender. Ring rank him at 3rd in the world in the glamour division. He's not the second coming of Ali but he comes to fight and has been in some exciting dust-ups. His win against Parker, dirty and questionable as it is, still stacks up as a quality result.

    I don't buy all the PPVs on offer so I don't get too annoyed by them. If I don't fancy it I don't buy it and either listen on the radio or watch later.

    If only there were some way I could register my dis satisfaction against this product I don’t want to buy. Here’s a revolutionary thought, maybe I just won’t buy it, you think that’s allowed?

    If people pay for it then it’s ppv worthy, regardless of your opinion. That’s the bottom line.

    Whyte has had masterful promotion and you have to give huge credit, he is billed as a fight anybody, always ducked knockout artist even though he has a lower KO% than boring featherfisted fury.

    I mean I saw a pair of Nike trainers for £250 which is fcking outrageous, that’s a lot of money, maybe ten to fifteen top notch premium pizzas. Do Nike expect me to keep on buying their trainers at any price no matter what they look like?

    I smoke loads of weed and people always bang on a out how much money im burning away etc so I don't care paying £20 for a decent card and I'm a fan of Whyte so will akways support.

    If I don't like the ppv card then I won't buy it simple as that. Far too many of u on here get your knickers in a twist about it, it's not that serious.

    Bingo pal. Knickers in a twist is pretty accurate. Buy it, or don’t, like any discretionary spending, personal choice.

    Before lockdown I could easily spend £20+ a week in Starbucks on a latte each morning. How could I moan about an optional £20 on a PPV every few weeks? It’s 2020, not 1980 and sport is what it is.

    Dillian Whyte turned down millions of £££ to fight for THREE MAJOR BELTS UNIFIED last year.
    It was 6 or 7 million pounds and the chance to avenge his only pro defeat. He had a legitimate gripe with the rematch clause split but the adjusted offer of 50-50 for a rubber match with a cash cow like Joshua would have equated to an incredible sum.

    So people saying "can't become champ if the champ won't fight you", need to consider that.
    This hard luck, 'they're doing me wrong' narrative is mostly BS.
    Whyte's happy to be the "A side" on SKY Matchroom PPVs against visiting opponents.

    I think he was fishing for even bigger game. There was a race to get to Wilder and that WBC belt. If Whyte had been able to force the mandatory and took the green belt then he'd be one half of the undisputed unification fight which would've made 6 million look like chicken feed.

    Fury upset that applecart, but I understood his thinking.

    Dullian Shyte won a cracking fight v Dull Boy Pakora and this fight along with the cohort of PPV mugths has increased his net worth to around £50m after Laboratory Fees.

    The price of puddings these days at hyper inflation.

    Who needs titles when the PPV mugths have increased his bank balance to £50m.

    This pudding is the Burnley FC of the Premier League happy to play Norwich City every week for the money.
