    Imagine how huge that would be, it would sell big all over the world.

    Absolutely none. Don't care about the nationality or how much I like the fighter.

    Bought Hatton on Primetime last month, paid the £15 and got nothing but a blue screen all night. Absolute bull****.

    In future if there's a PPV fight I want to see then I'll just watch it on a stream if I can get it. Don't give a **** how much the promoters hate it and accuse me of stealing. If they and their PPV service got their **** together and gave me what I'd paid for then I wouldn't have to resort to watching it illegally. Sky are going to bring back PPV eventually, Hearn's already in their ear about it now. Fact is though, PPV **** you over and I'm not giving them any more of my money.

    Well and truly learnt my lesson. Never paying for any fight again.

    i know it will happen, I'm saying it shouldn't. You've already paid.

    It would never happen, but if the Klits decided to fight each other I imagine that would do reasonable numbers on PPV.

    And I am saying; by paying in the first place, you are accepting and playing the game, you just do not like the rule change...

    The Klitchkos fighting each other reminds me of the scenario if you complete Double Dragon with two players and you have to fight for the girl. Which makes no sense whatsoever.

    No likely fight featuring two non British fighters is worthy of being a PPV in this country for casuals.

    The only way PPV will come back is if it's something must see like Brook fighting Khan (possible) with a decent undercard.

    Speaking of Khan he is now free to fight wherever he likes- be that on Sky, Primetime, Boxnation, Channel 5 or errrm Loaded TV.

    I'd just stream it. I aint sitting up to 5am and paying £15 to watch it.

    There aren't any fights with British fighters that deserve to be on ppv either.
