    Going to the O2 on Sat for this cracking card (except the Brook, Joshua and Cleverly fights) but also thinking what gash is in store for Sky Sports subscribers over the next few months.

    The regular Sky Sports cards are so gash these days full of 1/100 shots that they now transfer the broadcast across to USA or Europe for a decent fight.

    Eddie sticking most of his eggs in the Saturday basket to boost PPV numbers but he will find it difficult as most Sports viewers will be watching the big Spanish Cup final in Barcelona.

    Even though it is a stacked card, the headline Brook v Gavin has very little appeal to the casual fans.

    Hopefully it flops on PPV and we get back to 2-3 good fights on every card.

    What's your issue with the Johnson fight? He fought Fury and Chisora in their careers much further down the line than Joshua is fighting him and everyone said he was a good test for both of them.

    The 1/50 price at the bookmakers says it all mate.

    AJ has zero chance of losing this fight against a man who does not throw punches.

    If AJ knocks him out then people say his punchbag style caught up with him.

    No excitement in this fight at all and I will be out for a couple of drinks when this is on.

    Who should Joshua be fighting then?

    Did you think Johnson was a good test for Fury/Chisora?

    Both the Liverpool and Manchester cards in June/July look decent and certainly not full of one sided fights

    WTF is this?!

    Maybe you should open your threads with a big INFOMERCIAL sign.
    Seems like I'm reading some Tell Sell channel script for Sky Sports PPV.

    This. He needs rounds at this stage and Johnson will give him certainly six or seven. He is being kept busy as well.

    Chisora was always a limited fighter and Johnson was the easiest fight Fury had.

    The argument about rounds is a poor one - this should have happened by now but Eddie matched him against 12 cans incapable of defending themselves.

    Journeyman Chisora or Davina Price should have been the opponent this weekend.

    To be fair to fast car the Manchester card looks very good let's just hope it's not just a one off. Let's face it with the new sky contract stub hub Eddie has more security to protect him then princess Kate if she was forced to walk through belmarsh prison so we could see some real ****te cards coming.

    As for Saturdays PPV - I'm not buying, no chance. Even though Johnson is only coming to get paid I have no problem with the fight as it's the appropriate step up for AJ.
    I also don't have a problem with Brook - Gavin seeing as Kell only fought recently which is refreshing but Frankie has nothing to show him and will be battered around which is 100% not PPV. Mitchell - Linaries is the fight I'm looking forward to but I can wait until the next day when it appears on the net.

    There will be more streams on the net than in the world on Saturday night. :lol::lol:

    Do you not go out and drink - there will be a few casinos and pubs showing this PPV.

    You managed to find a restaurant that caters for men and their blow-up dolls? Kudos to you.
