Sadly, they aren't catching on. Just look at the YouTube likes that Hearn gets compared to everyone else. Look at the most 'liked' comments. Especially regarding the Wilder/Joshua situation. The hardcores are just loud on Twitter. Edit - they aren't catching on in big enough numbers. Some are beginning to see the bullcrap.
The joke is, it is supposed to be a working class sport etc. There cannot be a more expensive sport in Britain to follow?
Until the numbers dont justify it he will continue to do this. Its an undeserving PPV, a pisstake really, but it will still sell more than Frampton v Warrington, even if the latter was unification/undispiuted
Ppv is that it is, it's 2018! IMO if you buy whyte v chisora you must know one of them personal because the better value for money and if your a boxing fan is Warrington v Frampton. Non are ppv worthy though.
Agreed, none are ppv worthy but what if you have no attachment towards either Warrington or Frampton? I'm a boxing fan and if I was going to pay for a pay per view, I'd pay for Whyte Chisora over the other one. It just relates to me more than two light guys who I'm not fussed over and I'm sure there are many boxing fans in the same boat as me
I would love to know what the purses were for the main events in the years when Sky didn’t run PPVs after the Haye/Wlad debacle. The bubble will burst eventually as the sport can’t keep growing at it’s current rate forever. What annoys me more than PPV is DAZN broadcasting all these fights on their platform for £8 a month in the US at decent bell times whilst we have to shell out for Sky Sports and/or Sky Box Office with some cards taking place in the middle of the night.
I think Hearn's gone too far with this one. He had a good thing with the Danny Dyer types and now he's taken the ****. Don't get me wrong the Lacoste t-shirted sniff in the pub toilet brigade think he's their good mate still but there is only so much pant pulling anyone can do when it comes to £££ before the worm turns. The replies to Barry Hearn's tweet about AJ and Whyte was interesting as well, all the bull**** is not getting swallowed hook line and sinker anymore.
nah he always gets these types of comments but he still comes out on top. I am saying this and i am not a fan of his, he really good at cornering the casual market, with the fights he puts on. While i think his match making is really over rated, and with not many good fights, considering the number of fights he puts on
