Football PPV Shamed and Gone - over to you Boxing

It pissed me right off actually how Chisora and Haye were trying to sell another fight with Whyte. Literally no shame what so ever.

 

Hearn said he likes the idea of Whyte Chisora 3. If that had been made PPV in 3 weeks time there would have been less demand for it than the Johnny Nelson career box set

 

I don't think you can blame em for trying and let's have it right both fights were actually a good watch.

 

How else is Haye going to pay for his Bentley? He's not going drive around in some rot box like a Mercedes is he?

 

If everything was back to normal and Eddie put on a card with actual decent fights on, high profile, high quality fights, I'd go round a mates and we'd all chip in. That hasn't happened for years. We're more likely to see a card with a doorman and a female crossfitter giving boxing a go as part of her work out plan on it than we are a World Title on the line.

 

The Chisora Usyk PPV had the worst undercard of any PPV in the history of boxing.

The undercard was worse than your average to free to air Saturday sky show. Embarrassing.

The football PPV premier league idea bombed because premier league football fans are already at their maximum limit.

Boxing fans are used to paying for PPVs. Although the current economic climate will affect it badly.

 

The Mike vs Roy ppv is going to be a causal fest.

 

I do not think those who want rid of PPV, realise how bad closed circuit was.


I am quite happy to pay money to stay in my home, buy my own drink, use my own bathroom and 99 times out of 100, have no problem with the picture and sound.

 

No chance football fans were stumping up £15 a game.

No way Pedro, especially during a lockdown and all that tier 2 crap when you can't mix households, they timed it so badly.

I could imagine people all piling around someone's house and having a few beers and watching it, do the old house rotation, me this week, you next, you week after..

But to expect every individual to buy a £15 match was ridiculous.

 

I’m not sure, not for ppv, most casuals won’t know who jones is and most who liked Tyson probably to old to care

 

It really should be illegal to put both Hughie the Skirt and Laurence the Octopus on the same card and then charge PPV.

That really is taking the Micky Bliss Eddie.

 

The problem is the PPV was once the exception, is now the rule.

Chisora Usyk with Lee Selby chief support is an insult to charge £20 for.

I’m not against the model if it’s an unmissable fight with a great undercard but I honestly can’t remember the last one that was

 

Totally agree mate. A PPV is worth it for a proper event consisting of multiple top class fighters. Not a few awful undercards, a rendition of Sweet Caroline then AJ beating up an old Bulgarian.

 

Brilliant haha.
