    £15?? seems a bit much. I think mick comes across well in the video, but whats with all the secrecy regarding Tyson and his legal stuff?

    I was thinking the same thing. Put it at £4.99 and I believe the fight could gain some traction. People might message friends about it and it could get a lot of shares on social media. At £15 people will be taking one look and saying no thanks.

    Not only that, I think you would get a lot of casuals watching it on their phones in the pub on a Saturday night. It is a really good platform for casuals in that way.

    Higgin's mistake was not taking his seat before unleashing on the slimy, untrustworthy Fury's. I can understand Higgins frustration after being mucked around for the best part of 18 months with Hughie's fear of coming down under and the dirty deeds going on behind the scenes. Hoping the fight will go at least 8 rounds so Fury can get a right old fashioned beating and then to watch Fury senior pick his son off the canvas

    Higgins mistake was being totally off his nut, therefore diminishing any validity in issues he had with the fight.

    I remember when the Super Six super-middle tournament was being broadcast on some long-forgotten pay per view outlet back in 2009 - 2010, I remember watching Froch-Dirrell on it and maybe a Vitali fight too on some strange channel, and there was that Premier Sports channel that had boxing PPV maybe.
    But I don't think the prices were too bad, like 5.99 or 9.99 at the most. It was a few years back but that was TV through the sky dish.
    This internet thing should be a little cheaper at least until they prove it's production values are credible.
    Besides, Hughie v Parker should be cheap anyway. It's a bargain basement heavyweight title fight.

    Hope Parker performs on sat night and sends the Furies packing out of boxing for good. Don't need their type.

    Parker's team of handlers are totally inept. The lot of them have shown themselves to be clueless dupes who've been constantly played as fools by the Furys. Joe Parker deserves much better, but his handlers deserve exactly what they're getting. They're at fault for naively falling into several dodgy traps set by the Furys.

    I know could you imagine the outcry if it was one of the Furys who turned up at the press conference in that state causing such a scene ?

    I don't believe for one minute the incident and the press conference was in anyway staged but it could have given PPV sales a great boost if it wasn't for earlier hearing in the press conference the price was up to £14.99. I also agree with the fact the undercard is crap £4.99 would have been good or even the original £9.99 but can't see many takers at £14.99. If it was cheaper could have put adverts between rounds etc and made good money that way too. I would have put up with that if it was £4.99

    What a Fury coked off their nut at a press conference? Surely that hasn't and wouldn't ever happen? :rolleyes:

    What i saw was a promoter standing up for his fighter. It worked, Ref has been changed and Higgins did more in 30 seconds promoting this fight, than the fat *******, Fury and his ******ed son have done the entire build up.
