So is the Froch v Kessler PPV going to be a success or a flop?

With the purses on offer this really has to go some for Eddie not to take a bath

 

i bit the bullet last night and finally ordered it,been debating all week as i dont think the undercard is big enough or strong enough for ppv.but the main event should be a *******.im sure quite a few others will have done the same thing so i think it will do pretty well.

 

Well I never. In this day and age where most people would just be pressing a button to order this instead of using the phone, someone working in a call centre already has an overview of overall sales to hand.

 

Do you listen to car salesmen? The Sky bloke isn't going to tell you that traffics been **** and you shouldn't bother, is he? It might be doing good business but I wouldn't take that from someone with a vested interest

 

Obviously those who are fascinated by how the fight is selling

 

God help us all if it's successful, expect Haye/Knock over job and Froch/Groves PPV later in the year. :-(

 

With hbo, and danish pvv helping to cover the purses hearn won't lose money on this at all imo not like je has spent silly money on the undercard

 

So he's being greedy then?

 

Is that money part of the purses or separate deals with the fighters?

 

Are you having a laugh. If there's anyone happy to even watch a rematch between those two, let alone pay extra for it, well I've got a bridge to sell you.

 

The fighters probably get a percentage of total PPV sales. The TV deals will be used to fund the purses, along with the licence fee from Sky.

 

Froch is remarkable. His loses clearly twice and somehow that makes these fights PPV.

 

I know there should be at least one proper title fight on the undercard but is no-one else interested in the Bellew rematch? This one really shows the brutal side of Eddie Hearn, to throw Bellew straight back in shows if you ain't a winner he don't ****in' care about you. I can't see what Bellew can do better and if Chilemba really was ill...
