    Paying for as the headliner on PPV?

    I'm gong with Brook.

    Couldn't stand the man for years, but after facing GGG I've changed my mind.

    He's a world champ in a division of killers, he's already fought the most dangerous guy out there (Golovkin), and he's up for fighting the best young prospect in Spence.

    I don't mind paying for any PPV featuring UK fighters so long as it's a top class COMPETITIVE matchup and preferably for a world title.

    Frampton, Brook, AJ and Haye, Groves. As long as they are competitive fights as has been mentioned above.

    If the fight was right probably Frampton, Brook, AJ, Fury, Degale, Bellew for me although Bellew v Cleverley probably limits his appeal to most (not me). But if any of our world level lads got a truly huge name opponent I'd pay it

    The recent interviews on IFL with the Conlan brothers (especially Jamie) & Paddy Barnes have made me big fans of their personalities, if were talking in that context. Whyte is always entertaining with Kugan as well. AJ needs to drop this fake, good guy personality hes adopted. look at his post-fight interview in the ring after Whyte fight. pushed the ref out the way and then the way he spoke in the interview

    I find it hard to answer that question, I try to support all British fighters but when it comes to buying a PPV event I want to see what I believe will be good or great fights rather than just an individual.

    If I believe I will be entertained then I'll buy a PPV event.

    If it's a big well matched competitive fight, PPV isn't a problem.

    But if I had to pick one then it'd probably be Groves, usually always in a good fight.

    Fast, sharp, can bang but has that little vulnerability factor also.

    Don't mind who's on PPV because I normally watch it in the pub.

    AJ has yet to fight anyone with a pulse though. He's been on PPV since the get go, he's a world champion and his best win is British level Whyteleafe.

    True, but I did add it would have to be a competitive fight. TBF I missed off Eubank jr from my list, and even though I dislike their actions and the route they are taking, if they came up with a top match up I would have no problem paying to watch them either.

    Wasn't trying to be funny mate, just the fact AJ has been PPV since the beginning grinds on me a little. ☺

    Fully agree with CEJ. Wasn't a fan of hus at first but he has grown on me and he is a very good, exciting fighter. But it is time he stepped up his competition.
