    Seriously, if we have to pay £20 to see this ****, we should all boycott it and make a statement.

    I think it's that serious. This is the fight that we could boycott to make a statement.

    I think it'll be on DAZN in the subscription package for £7.99 which isn't really worth it considering Arreola is old, shot and isn't really a PPV fighter to begin with. Eddie got that idea from the abomination that was Ruiz Jr vs Arreola on PPV. He now thinks he can charge people for sub par fights.

    I think it's simply about balancing the books and paying fighters as much or similar under Sky Sports Box Office PPV. Whyte isn't legitimately a PPV fighter but because he got knocked out to Joshua and that was on PPV because Joshua was the name fighter he thought Whyte was a PPV star after that.

    Whyte is legit ppv fighter: he had not only get fight vs A.J. He recently had fight vs old over the hill uncle's Povetkin ghost who had KOed him out cold.
    Since Povetkin had fights vs Wlad and A.J, Whyte vs A.J and Chisora, definitely Whyte is ppv fighter.

    Chisora I think maybe will be ppv fighter again, sooner or later.

    No person in their right mind will order this. I'm sure @Aydamn will though.

    People spent years railing on US PPV market on it's own but UK PPV scene kinda prevalent and sucks too, yeah?

    Boycott who dummy? Whtyes fight are included on DAZNs monthly subscription. You think they are going to charge a separate 20 pound PPV after just increasing the monthly rate by a fiver? You're clueless

    Still apt. Why pay for DAZN when it's mostly bum fights like this?

    Their PPVs are way cheaper than ours though.

    Outside of UK, I believe Joshua v Usyk would be on DAZN. I'll stump up my $20 equivalent for that. But I would have to see what else is scheduled for late October. Whyte v Molina is not getting me to renew. And I like Whyte

    But hey, Whyte getting a soft touch in Arreola, though a bit of a walk back from some names connected with him fighting in America, it's not the end of the world. Its Joshua who is expected to fight high level opposition back to back. Whyte hasn't even had a title fight yet
