I never had a problem with Sky doing PPV's when they were providing value for money. Have Bellew vs Cleverly, DeGale euro title and Gavin in an eliminator on october 29th with Froch and i cant see many complaining. Put Mitchell vs Katsidis 2, Groves vs Anderson, Walsh & Cox in good defences with the Pacquiao vs Marquez card i am happy to pay for it. But try and serve me up a semi good main event with no undercard or US leg an i will get pissed off.
http://www.westlondonsport.com/boxing/date-confirmed-for-degale-comeback/? So date and venue confirmed as the Clev undercard...no mention of telly here though.
Cleverley-Bellew is a Friday Fight Night bout. Add DeGale and Gavin and it's still an average card. Plus there's no way ****** will put either in genuinely juicy fights. First time he did it with DeGale he lost. Gavin needs time to settle into his new routine/trainer/life.
Well I didn't think DeGale/Groves and Clev/Pole was PPV worthy so Clev/Bellew and DeGale/Pole isn't PPV worthy as well. IF this really is going to end up on PPV (and we don't know yet) then Fwank needs to put on at least two more solid fights and give us the Hopkins/Dawson card from the US. If we get all that I wouldn't mind forking out £15.
No way i would pay to watch a string of foregone conclusions, Clev is 1/5 at William Hill. Clev v Sillakh or Shumenov or Erdei or Gutknecht with Bellew v McIntosh on the undercard would have me wiping the cobwebs off my credit card.
No chance. Bellew v Clev should be great but it needs at least 2 more of them for it to be PPV worthy.
