    Huge success and get onboard no thanks sounds a bit like a booking agent trying to sell me a ticket for a trip around the planets atmosphere with Virgin

    If you can't afford 17 quid for an epic card of boxing, then I doubt you have the 150-odd K needed to book Virigin Galactic.

    There is one 50/50ish fight between fringe world level guys and one decent competative fight between a good prospect and a fringe world level guy the rest of the card isn't too great I wouldn't buy it I can't see many pubs buying it and I can't see many people buying it so I think it will be a let down.

    I'm nit very excited about any of the fights.

    Can't afford it ok if you say so

    The truth is your repeating yourself with drivel as you know it's not worth the money and you have no reasoning that will make any of us change our minds . Now run along and shine eddies head

    What would be interesting is if bellew got proper sparked out and had that **** scared face he had in the Stevenson fight would there be significant buys for the repeat of the ppv?

    I'm going to the show on the 22nd November. Compared to the Kell Brook - Senchenko fight at Sheffield Arena (last live event I went to) the card is far more appealing. Even looking back at last year's event in Sheffield, there was quite a few mismatches on the show. From my point of view, Anthony Joshua and Callum Smith are still progressing through the ranks so can understand the logic behind their cherry picked opponents. It's a bit of a shame George Groves, Jamie McDonnell and maybe Scott Quigg couldn't be in more competitive fights (even if it meant sacrificing one or two of them from the card) but overall should be a good nights entertainment and can't grumble. I know it's a bit shitty paying a boat load of money out for Sky and then paying another £17 on top, but from Matchroom/ Sky's side it must cost significant more to put this show on than a standard fight night event so unfortunately PPV is the chosen mechanism to fund it.

    Hearn has brought all his big names out for this event to try and justify charging £17. In my opinion if there was less so called big names but more 50/50 fights it would be more appealing, especially to the avid boxing fan and more might buy it. The fact Hearn keeps trying to pull the wool over proper boxing fans eyes by saying its a stacked card and a massive night for British boxing shows what he thinks of boxing fans.

    Would of love to see Bellew v Clev as I love rivalries but will not fall for Hearn and his nonsense
