    I think it will sell well enough. ITV will refine things for the next time, no doubt, so as long as it wipes its own face then I'm sure that is the aim.

    No direct jab at you... but I think some people are completely unrealistic when it comes to all this. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy, but clearly the PPV model is necessary for all involved to pick up what it takes in order for them to perform.

    Wow just seen that Quinlan's purse is only 44k, for a PPV fight that is shocking. He's been had by the Eubanks!

    It's not the money. The fight simply isn't targeted at anyone who visits boxing forums. The Eubanks have made that clear enough.

    I'm not even bothering, the main event is a complete joke, it's that bad I wouldn't even watch this if it was free to air. I'm being serious.

    I can't wait to see these numbers, I don't know anybody who is buying it and some people I know will buy any old rubbish.

    I'm not digging them out, I bought Haye Vs Harrison and that was a joke and I knew all the way along it was a joke but I still bought it but this is far worse than that in my opinion.

    Still amazed that anybody thinks an IBO title is a PPV. I have mild interest in this fight at best. Likewise Price Hammer.

    Skewer Itv and the £ubanks by not paying for this insult of a PPV, and instead watching it for free via stream or VPN video.

    That is the ultimate F-You to the £ubanks and this insult.

    Whoever buys this fight is disgracing boxing.

    I'm ashamed you can't see it. You're validating:
    1. Excessive monetisation and exploitation of boxing & its fans
    2. The model of boxers avoiding the biggest challenges, now to an excessive degree.
    3. IBO's self-advertisement as another 'world title'. We have WBA Super, WBA Regular, WBO, WBC, IBF and now IBO.

    You're a part of the problem.

    I thought i could make a difference by not buying the Brook - Gavin and AJ - Whyte PPVs. Its naive for anybody to think they can alter the buy rate. PPV shows have just come on stronger and stronger in the last few years.
    Boxing is huge now in this country. The biggest and most popular its been in a long time. The casuals will decide the future , not hardcores on forums and there is a massive appetite from casuals around now.

    I don't want to buy this but i also want to watch a night of boxing so what choice do i have..
