    Problem is some fights are ppv and some fights are not, so to get full boxing coverage you need to have a sky sports subscription AND pay for ppvs as well. Oh, AND BoxNation. FS.
    Its kinda annoying that I am not interested in football or anything else on sky sports but still have to pay for it to get the boxing.
    My take on ppv is that if it is an event of significant magnitude to justify it then I will pay for it. So May/Pac or Frampton/Quigg qualifies...Brook/Gavin does NOT!
    I expect every Joshua fight from now on will be ppv.

    Case by Case basis as always. Happily paid for the two 02 shows last year as I Thought they were good value. Would never have paid for Ceverly Bellew in a million years.

    I paid for last weekend as I was genuinely expecting an all action fight with knockdowns etc, and if Quigg had started the way he finished I think we would have got that. Whilst I did feel a bit mugged off at the final bell thats the risk you take whenever you spend money isn't it? You could have a shocking meal out etc - you simply wouldn't eat in that restaurant again and I certainly wouldn't buy a rematch from pair.

    It's not as if we don't understand the power action thing.. you could win 50-0 by being Bernard Hopkins boring as one might put it..


    And that's not a knock on Mayweather.. he's a puncher and was in the early days.. same with Hops..


    You could win 100-0 in the most boring way..
