Do not buy the Whyte fight.

Boxing needs "casuals", as does every sport.

 

Not going to berate your decision to pay for the PPV mate (genuinely hope you have a good night), but disagree with the above.

It's important that people who know better pull Hearn (and other promoters) up on this stuff. He's always testing the water and seeing how much he can get away with. He's admitted as much in the past.

If you didn't have so many people criticising it, spreading knowledge and sticking to their principles, then you can be sure the PPV quality would drop even further. And boxing as a sport would suffer as a consequence.

 

'they've gave enough over the years'

You sound like a Matchroom Social Media salesman.

More like they have taken enough as Whyte and Chisora have both delivered very little in the ring yet raked in millions and millions of pounds for what are basic Saturday headline fights or undercard fights.

 

I don’t mind this show. It annoys me when you get a headline fight on ppv and then every fight on the undercard is a walkover for the promoters fighter. At least this has 3 50/50 bouts going on.

Cheeseman vs metcalf
Kongo vs mckinson
Whyte vs Povetkin

you can keep the rest though.

 

Btw you can get good odds on cheese, mckinson and Povetkin all to win. But I have a feeling mckinson might get screwed over on the cards or a draw

 

@CST80 how do you see these going?
Cheeseman vs metcalf
Kongo vs mckinson
Whyte vs Povetkin

I’ve got Povetkin cheese and mckinson

 

Each of the Sky and Matchroom lot have their own lines. Adam Smith I find the most amusing because of how he changes his voice to try and sound dramatic.

"They have given enough over the years"

"They always come to fight"

"These two are real family men"

"Last chance saloon for both men"

"These two have been huge personalities inside the bubble, with some great games of pool and chess. A real camaraderie between the camps, but that'll all be left in the bubble and now it's down to business"

"It's the heavyweights. One punch can change everything and that's what makes this such a big fight"

"This one is a fan's favourite fight. Imagine the atmosphere with a crowd in here."

Funny how people say things like it all costs you. They are half right, I do pay for my internet.

 

What are the odds

 

Can't believe the mods have allowed the blatant racism in this thread's title to go unpunished

 

I've got the exact opposite

 

I'd like to see Smith mix things up a little, keep us on our toes:

'Both of these men hate their families'

'He's come to run away and run away is just what he's doing'

'He can lose this one and the next and we'll bring him back in six months and pretend it never happened no worries'

 

2021 and people still paying for PPV?!
