    Eddie Hearn is a greedy ******, Chisora vs Parker shouldn't even be a headline bout nevermind a PPV match. I hope it flops badly
    Also how does Chisora keep getting these match ups, he loses every big match up he has, how many more losses before he is classed as a journeyman ?

    Paint Dry Parker doesnt deserve to be on PPV. But Chisora always brings the heat and comes to fight, and is involved in thrilling fights.

    Chisora still deserves to be a headline fighter, but I agree making him a PPV headline is a **** take

    No idea why Paint Dry Parker has been chosen as the opponent, as he is always a bore to watch.

    I couldn't contain my laughter when I read this.

    Are these excerpts from Hearn's book?

    Chisora vs Parker is worth PPV in my opinion. Parker is still a top 10 fighter IMO, and Chisora always puts on a show.

    It is bound to be an eventful fight and we also have Katie Taylor on the undercard which is a good card.

    Boxing promoters? Greedy? What!? The devil you say! *Clutches pearls* Next thing you’re going to tell is that there aren’t really hot single women near me who want to mingle.

    SMH.

    Think about it though, is Chisora involved in a lot of thrilling fights or not?

    This is nothing compared to Ruiz and Arreola PPV.

    Not really, no. Chisora's best win, over a 14 year career, is a Euro level boxer in Takam and his next best win is either David Price or the ghost of Kevin Johnson, and you're telling me that he's a headline fighter?

    Doesn´t Hearn have some sort of a PPV deal with Sky?
    He needs to build PPV cards. Pretty sure this is why Hearn brought over Loma, Usyk and Golovkin.
    Same reason why Whyte was pushed to PPV.

    It´s not really creed. It´s the best that he can do.

    Chisora is one of the best at grabbing attention for fights

    That is why he ends up with better purses

    Brings the aggro

    It's no different anywhere else, PBC are charging $50 for Ruiz vs Arreola.

    He does indeed have a contract to provide 6 PPVs a year. Usually there are two AJ and two Whyte cards a year and two other PPV like Chisora vs Usyk or Campbell vs Loma.

    Due to no crowds it’s hard to make a Loma style fight for example as a lot of the revenue is driven by die hard Uk boxing fans buying a ticket to see the likes of Loma.

    Also many of his other top fighters like Okolie etc aren’t quite PPV yet so he’s decided to put on 5 very good fights in a PPV and see how it does. He only needs it to do 150k buys to break even and Usyk vs Chisora did 285k apparently so he should be fine with the card he’s putting on

    Because theres no way you could put on that card with no fans if it wasn't PPV?

    You have Parker-Chisora which should be a fun HW fight. If Parker wins, hes back in the title hunt.

    You have Katie Taylor, arguably the #1 female P4P, against a popular British fighter.

    You have Bivol, who is arguably the best at LHW going up against a Brit and Eubank who always draws, like it or not.
