    Yeah, there's one fairly local who will have it on. The landlords a boxing nut and will certainly be buying

    I must be a massive ****** because I brought a ticket for the fight as soon as they went on general sale and am very much looking forward to a great night!

    I was considering it. Not because it is particularly worthy but just cause I wanted to watch it.

    When Hearn did the interview with Kugan saying well if people don't like it then don't buy it!!

    Just thought the contempt for the public was shocking. He can sell it to the general fan and that's a far bigger market than regular boxing fans!!! He should remember who buys tickets.

    I've never heard him/Sky apologise obverse the Harrison/Haye farce!!

    I'm going to the fight. But i'm not sure if I'd buy it on PPV

    Thing is I'd have happily paid £85 for a lower tier ticket had I been available for this but I wouldn't pay £17 for the PPV, esp as it will be on sky sports a few days later (or at least the best bits)

    :lol: buying a ticket to the fight I can understand but ppv I can't, this may sound a bit daft but I already pay for sky sports and feel this fight is not worth another fee , also if this gets enough buys sky & Hearn will put more ppv cards on that don't really deserve that status. Which is bad news for fans in the long and bad for the sport

    tell you the truth il just chuck a few quid in each with a few pals and watch it although the card is pretty jank and doesn't jump out at you, i do want to see bellew and cleverlys fight not interested in many others on that night, and no doubt george groves will be gasping for air by rnd6 and putting on another unconvincing performance.

    It all depends on the size of the pub. The bigger the pub more you got to pay for PPVs and normal SKY subscriptions.

    I hope this does very poorly and sends a message to Sky and Hearn that this **** ain't gonna fly!

    Normally, my take on PPV is if you don't want it don't buy it, but this is the first time for me the event has been padded out with names to make it seem like a stacked card. Does NOT bode well for the future if this does even reasonably well.

    The thing that does my head in that hearn putting in all these names means that the fight nights on the sky for the next few months will be crap as there's no-one available
