    Collective but its the broadcaster first and foremost.

    If AJ and Usuyk said price the ppv at £39.99 do you not think Sky would have any say?

    The ones who know best on what price works is the broadcaster. It's sky who will have the market research and all the figures to forecast what they believe the fight will make on ppv.

    Two title eliminators, a heavyweight fight involving fighters who should be at a point of stepping up to higher opposition in the near future.

    “Why weren’t you in training today? “

    “I was too busy going over these figures one more time to make sure we can set the price for the ppv”

    Is that the most expensive PPV ever in the UK? I know we’ve had £24.99 for a while now.

    Can anyone explain why Sky Sports boycott Saudi LIV Golf which is not even played on Saudi soil yet cover boxing on Saudi soil?

    Maybe because it's a PPV approaching thirty quid, during the biggest cost of living crisis in almost a century?

    A paying customer CAN complain, personally, I think the card is just about above average, not outstanding, especially for the price asked.

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao was £19.99 if you ordered it early but £24.99 if you left it late.

    If my mates around to split it I will but I’m not paying £27 by myself. Would put up with some buffering and pop ups at that point…

    People have been charged to watch Chisora and paid so it's hard to discuss this without comparing it to what else has been out there and in doing so, even at that price, seeing it as quite reasonable in the ridiculous current climate.
