    im thinking of degale vs groves or fury vs rahman

    yes they are on some quite impressive bills but i think they would make some amount of money if they were to stand alone

    is there not enough sky dates??

    how many have sky given out this year??...im sure that maloney said that ricky hattons promotions only has 6 dates a year on the channel

    It's not that there aren't enough Sky dates. It's that they need fights like this on undercards to justify fights like Khan-McCloskey and Clev-Braehmer on PPV.

    i still dont think that the cleverly fight should be a ppv but i think warren has made a bit of a balls up here as most people are talking about the degale - groves fight instead of a very decent world title fight

    How is it a balls up?

    He was never going to put a world title fight as undercard to a British title fight.

    thats not what im meaning mate

    im saying that the degale fight is probably the one that the fans are looking forward to most.

    and that both the fights could be main events on seperate bills which would make alot of money.

    its kinda taken a bit away from the cleverly fight as degale is the one thats causing all the hype

    2 normal sky sports shows... or one PPV?

    Frank thinks the PPV pays more.

    Neither fight is massive but together they make an acceptable PPV IMO

    If you split the Cleverly and Degale-Groves fights then you have 2 separate shows but you also have no PPV. Put them together and you've got your PPV.
