    PPV is a load of bollocks and you sound like shite eating Eddie "we need PPV" Hearn when you talk like that :-(

    c'mon ryan man! the fighters need paid and the best fighters deserve the money...15 quid for 4 hours entertainment is good value if you ask me..i bet it costs more to go watch Motherwell for 90 minutes

    I know fighters need paid, but the fight doesn't have to be on PPV. Sky stopped PPV for a while after the Haye-Klitschko fight and there were still good matches getting made, but they weren't on PPV.
    We don't need PPV that shite just comes from the likes of Eddie Hearn and Adam Smith because they wants our f*cking money.
    And as far as that last PPV it wasn't 4 hours of entertainment it was more like 4 hours of one sided mis-matches and the main event had flood light failure in the 9th round so I would rather go and watch Motherwell because at least you get the full 90 minutes for your money.

    yeah the undercard was an absolute disgrace actually...so it was about 30 minutes entertainment

    i dont understand how a promoter can put on a bill and almost every single fight had at leaast 1 change to it before fight night...?

    the Froch /Groves fight kinda glossed over that undercard

    The PPV was a total letdown as the "STACKED UNDERCARD" that Hearn promised failed to deliver :-(
    I know there was a number of withdrawals and late changes, but when he announced the card nearly every fight was TBC anyway... And that's total f*cking bollocks, at the same time it's always the same with him. One letdown after another.
    The fighters he brought in were no hoper's on the cheap and Hearn must have got them from an agency or something?

    The Froch-Groves fight controversially glossed over the sorry undercard and you couldn't help but feel shortchanged by this big pay-per-view night on Sky Box-Office.

    Most undercards on PPV are poor because of the purse demands of the main event.

    The Froch-Groves card was poor.Think the Haye-Klitschko takes some beating for a crap undercard.

    Was amazed they had Garcia-Matthysse as the support to MM V Canelo it's about quality not quantity for me.

    People still have TV subscriptions these days? You do know you can get jail broken Apple TV boxes for 200.

    Also give up with the whole £15 PPV money is what you owe the fighters if you are a true fan bollocks. They get paid from live gate money and advertising, it's a multi million pound industry. Save your £15 PPV fee and buy a crate then stream the fight and feel good about it!!!

    Froch v Kessler, Haye v Valuev, Floyd v Guerrero/Ortiz/Alvarez, PAC v Clottey/Margerito/Oscar, every Klitschko fight. All of these are boxing matches, nothing more, some I wouldn't class as entertainment!

    If you have a smart TV hooked up to your internet you can stream directly onto it.

    Picture quality not exactly HD perfect but some are better than others as you'd expect from a stream.

    I'm sick to death of crap undercards on PPV only Golden Boy deliver with stacked cards IMO Hearn and Arum are tight as ****. Froch Groves undercard was shocking nothing but one sided fights, Quigg against a guy ranked 88th defending his bogus world title was main support what a joke. I want the main support to be a genuine 50/50 either a big domestic fight Macklin/ Lee/ Frampton/ Quigg Cleverly/ Bellew or a real proper world title fight. Brook/ Porter. Burns vs Crawford is the sort of standard that ppv undercards should be at.

    Lomachenko is one in thousands though. No point comparing him to anyone.

    I actually enjoyed Luke Campbell's last fight with the wee mechanic guy. But to bill as anythiing other than 'keeping busy' would be wrong.
