So glad that the numbers were great. Enthralled that we have another PPV star. So stoked for that.

 

Pretty good PPV number tbf.

 

Great, hopefully more non-world title fights on PPV. Spectacular news.

 

I think Hearn could get Buffer announcing that he's taking a shite somewhere at Wembley and it'd still get 300K views.

 

Look mate, those who come on here and give their opinions on boxing do so because we love the sport and because we invest a decent amount of time into following and talking about boxing, it means that in general we have a better understanding of what s going on compared to the group of punters we usually term 'casuals
Now most of us on here agreed that we didn't think that this should be a Ppv card and in reality the only thing that made it Ppv worthy was Eddies spin.
Just because it was a good night of boxing after the fact doesn't change the initial point, that this should never been ppv to those who didn't believe that the fights/fighters on that night don't justify ppv moneey
Now the numbers that have been released shows that for Eddie and Sky, the evening was a success but that doesn't mean that us who feel the evening should never of been ppv in the first place were wrong.
I didn't buy it, like I havnt bought a few of the ppv in recent years. If I think it's worth paying for then I'll pay, if I don't think it's worth it, I won't pay and I didn't.
I do agree with your point that Eddie is doing a good job with Dillian tho but on his own he is defiantly,imo of course , not ppv.
Now with regards to us on the forum saying the night would bomb, I don't remember saying that myself but I understand that some posters may of believed that, that would happen.
The fact that it didn't , shows us how good Eddie is at his job.

 

still wasn't a PPV. awful card, and it turned out badly. it had 1 good fight on it and people making out like it was the best card in years.

 

OP literally just posts about numbers, Matchroom and Eddie Hearn. I see very little actual boxing analysis from you.

It’s all about finances, PPV, fight negotiations... boring as ****.

Just lmfao at celebrating profits made by other men. That’s basically cuckoldry.

 

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick with this one fella.

Most people on here agreed it wasn't a good PPV card; I'm not sure anyone predicted it would bomb - boxing in the UK has never been in a better position in my lifetime and the hype around anything remotely close to Anthony Joshua means it will do some numbers.

As it turned out, it was a very good night of boxing, but I, and many others, still maintain that it wasn't PPV worthy given there wasn't a fight on the card that couldn't be made on regular Saturday Fight Night (and before anyone chips in, there wasn't a demand for any of the fights on the card either, or for all of them to be on one night - Sky haven't got close to the number of Saturday cards on regular Sky this year and the two main fights could easily have been made for one of them each, headlining the O2).

 

I post way more about actual boxing than **** like that. It’s like a 90:10 ratio. I’m in almost every RBR.

You literally just pop up to make threads about deals and the promotional side of boxing. I saw this on Twitter and just knew you would make a thread about it. Same with the Joshua Matchroom deal renewal. But hey, if you get aroused by men making money, whatever floats your boat...

 

If we're REALLY lucky, we might be able to get the Next Gen shows on PPV..
