    Another huge PPV mug rogering coming with Fraud v Pac 2.

    The first fight was a total stinker but the PPV Mugs will come out in force again - they never learn.

    Watched the GGG v PED Can fight last night and another that failed to live up to the hype of a PPV superfight.

    Well done mate - a waste of money.

    The PPV mugs lining up for another huge PPV rogering - Fraud v Pac 2 is ON!!!!

    Surely after the first stinker you would think they would learn but no - fools and their money easily parted

    Tickets to the movies are about 11 quid for an adult

    Usually when you get a PPV there's at least 2 people watching it.

    So what's better value? Going to see Jason Statham vs a giant shark or getting the boxing?

    Depends on what film or boxing card? Also other factors like do i pay a monthly subscription for the cinema but have to pay more on top for any half decent film?

    For existing Sky Sports and BT subscribers, there is zero justification for charging PPV for boxing.

    Non subscribers I can understand the charge.

    Your sky sports subscription is for premier League football, anything on top of that is just added extras

    What percentage of Sky's UK cards have been PPV this year?

    We have got to watch Khan at 1/100 a couple of times and Brook fight at 1/100

    I'm not against PPV, though I resent who every half decent fight seems to be PPV. What's the point of sky or BT sports then? I got rid of my sky sports as it wasn't worth the value plus I should pay more to see decent fights? Not right.

    Would have paid for ggg v Canelo but it was to late, will be buying smith v groves and not sure about Aj v povetkin and will but the end of bellew a career.

    Really? There's me thinking they had all those channels for sports, including boxing which they use in their promos and have AJ as an ambassador ffs!

    Seriously do you work for matchroom?

    See above
    Matchroom

    Sky

    They are two different companies mate

    Eddie gets a limited amount of $$$ from sky to put cards on

    99.9999% of sky's money goes on premier League football

    The other 0.00001% goes on all the other sports including boxing

    If you have an issue have a go at sky not matchroom

    I was having a go at Sky and BT mate - the money spent of football is obscene as is the amounts many mediocre boxers are fleecing from PPV mugs

    You really have no point to make about the value of PPV's if your reference point for comparison is the rip off prices charged by cinemas.

    Go to the cinema with a friend on 2 for 1 days, and you'll get a ticket for 4-5 pounds each.
