The Eubanks will seriously damage British boxing if this PPV sells

Yeah I've seen both the Eddie Hearn IFL interview and the Louis Theroux show. The fee thing is utterly ridiculous and shows just how greedy he really is.

The C5 show at Home With The Eubanks also showed him in a not particularly favourable light.

 

Exactly my thoughts. Hopefully the PPV bombs and they have to take the sensible route

 

I heartily congratulate Team Eubank (ahem) for being innovative, provocative and basically putting the cat amongst the pigeons. I like Hayes's efforts similarly.
Some of the posters here sound so b1tchy!
Of course people want to maximise their earnings! Jeez, all the people involved are so voluntarily.
1st world problems....

 

You've Gotta be off your head to buy this joke of a ppv

 

Can you explain why? Or are you just parroting things you've seen others type.

I spend money on all sorts of pointless things. Even a whole ten pounds. Why is everyone pretending it is point-blank lunacy, sheer madness, to spend a few quid on watching something. It's about 3 coffees, or less than a pizza. Can we please get real.

 

If you have plenty of disposal income that you can go and buy pointless things...coffees and pizzas etc then that's fair enough, a tenner'a not much.

What if you're just getting by and money's tight & you have commitments like bills and kids? Suddenly a tenner is a lot to spend on a one sided boxing match on telly.

The value of a tenner is relative to the person who's got it.

 

No way am I buying this shyte.

 

You can criticise the card but ITV entering the race is the best thing since Boxnation or Sky Box Office..


The future has landed..

 

If you are in that situation I don't think you should spend the money on boxing regardlees of how good the match up is.

Do you have to have sky to buy a sky ppv? If you do cancel the sky subs while your at it. Food and essentials is more important!!!

For those with more coin it ain't that bad a price, its actually good value to be fair!!!!

 

You could say that Channel 5 already did this for them.

 

No cash? Then don't buy it obviously.

That's not the same as squawking away like it's the biggest deal in the world that there is a sporting event charging ten whole pounds. Or is it.

 

I'm starting to get more excited now - excellent card, casuals are getting involved, crossover event etc. This could be the start of something huge..

 

Agreed. I guess that's the society we live in today. Twenty years ago+, you could watch major events on terrestrial tv. Now it's just for the people with money.

I'm from a working class background but I'm doing well for myself now. I still understand the value of money though, and this, along with a 'some' of matchrooms events, is a rip off.
