    So they should just shut up then ?? Isn't that the point of a discussion forum to discuss and offer opinions ?? If you want a pro Matchroom echo chamber then go to Eddie's official twitter account, loads of drooling shills on there.

    If it’s not PPV it’s usually a Nxtgen. That’s it. People say Hearn has made it better but I remember in his early days there were a lot more normal ‘fight nights’ and they were very good compared to now. I don’t know what week to week fights you mean. Maybe the odd occasion but there always seems to be massive waits to me. The top British guys have been fighting in America for the last couple of years and since the golden generation all retired it’s **** poor that we get to see now.

    For massive fights I have no issues. It’s the acceptance of it now for average ones that irks me a bit. It makes everyone have to pay for it.

    Then you get the divvys saying it’s only this cost it’s only that. We can all afford £20 but it’s about not getting ripped off every time there’s a good fight. They usually have more 1/100 fight on the undercard too.

    I’d love to own a shop by yours with people like you about.

    10er for a pint of milk.

    So basically any promoter can put on any standard of card and get away with it because 50 quid doesn’t get you much.

    Looks like only a handful on here are buying this Box Office event and the majority of those do come across as Matchroom Social Media sales staff.

    Looking forward to Frank's cards on BT Sport Friday and Saturday so plenty of live boxing to watch on TV.

    Regardless of choices, hopefully all enjoy the boxing.

    poor old Aydammn, he was all in on Whyte, huge fan, I have no idea why he just didn't take his licks and move on.

    We all get predictions wrong, I get them wrong most weekends (every weekend) :lol:

    I hope he comes back.

    No need to make a choice when The Angling Club will be broadcasting all there is to view.

    Aydamn is at large as MarkusFlorez99. It will be interesting to see if he can straddle both accounts should he decide to resurrect Aydamn

    You probably haven't read this back to yourself and realised you sound like a complete bellend because your head is so far up Hearns ringpiece you are chewing his ribcage.

    Be interested to know what the evidence is for this claim.

    Hasn’t he been back since Povetkin. Was he away before that or literally just as a result of that?

    He got a lot of stick but I don’t ever remember him saying anything that I really didn’t like haha.

    I'm giving this post probably far more respect than it deserves but I'll answer the question. Next Friday I'm hosting a BBQ for 5 other mates and £20 will cover the cost of the burgers, bratwursts and chicken, decent grub too. £20 to feed 6 long term mates coming together for the first time this year. Of course the point of people being unwilling to pay for this runs far deeper than just the price of it, it's the way anything is PPV these days that's the issue.

    Think fighters held out for more cash and rightfully so imo. We all love boxing on this site....it looks easy on the tv...but the reality of it tho is its a hard hard life to live. These guys put it all on the line
    ...pretty much everytime they fight.

    There fighting against other top ten/fifteen guys in the world who have trained for months to do as much damage as possible. Read it again the other top ten fifteen guys in the whole world. All the other guys fell by the wayside on the fight to the top. Leaving these guys to be in the top ten/fifteen fighters in their division in the whole world. Not only thst its the heavyweight division...these guys are taking incredible amounts of damage not just in fights but in training camps etc as well.

    Look at football...thousands of guys are millionaires from it and yet in boxing we only want to see the true elite making great money.

    Its allright saying these guys shouldnt be on great money...but when people say that do they actually look at it from whytes point of view. How much would you take to fight at that level...taking that punishment...not knowing how your faculties are gonna be when you retire at 35. Not knowing you could be killed or seriously injured fighting these top ten/fifteen guys. Or is it a case of its not me doing it...so they shouldnt be making great money.

    Before the corona virus eddie had a constant string of fights. Week to week at one point.
