    this thread title should be will sky kick this card off ppv like they did with khan
    im goin to this but so far the undercard is **** how on earth is he goin to sell cleverly(total shite in his last fight after his previous good showings) and degale groves which like someone above menioned are hardly big enough draws to warrant a ppv card
    warren needs to devote some off his energythat he spends on slaggin every other show off to puttin ona good show himself because where im standin i cant sky bein impressed espically when you take on boiard there recent comments about boxing

    As a side not Bellew and Clev is completely different.

    While I agree I can't see the general public going for it that much more than a usual fight. Be nice to see things kick into overdrive but at the minute I cant see how this can be a success

    someone a few posts back groves vs degale will do 15,000 on its own. your living in lala land.

    I haven't got too many problems with this being on PPV. It's got 2 fairly even matchups which should produce good fights, that's what it's about for me. Much more so than last weekends fight.

    If it means the big fights get made then i think people will settle for 2 proper 50/50's at a top level in the UK though i think all Brit PPV cards should be paired with something stateside for extra value.

    i think this card is far far far better than the khan ppv but i don't for 1 second think it sells more as theres no name fighter.

    If you bought tickets when event was announced based on 2 fights you have no right to complain about a undercard

    Ok

    DeGale - Groves was won by Hayemaker but it's still on Warren's show.

    Might be too short notice for Fury and Chisora though.
