    You missed some of the quote:

    Bit quirky I know, but I’m struggling to find another solution. We’ve got these regulations and responsibilities in place in terms of quarantine and testing, but we also have a big concern that everybody is on top of each other. You can’t ignore people, you can’t stay away from people. And Dillian Whyte in fight week is not a pleasant individual, to be honest with you. So for the safety of the event I would like to find a way to segregate Whyte and Povetkin for next week."

    A spokesman for the Royal Navy later confirmed that, following a request from the Matchroom CEO, Dillian Whyte was being offered a berth in a Trafalgar class Submarine. 'Due to the highly classified nature of our submarine force, it was not appropriate to place Povetkin aboard a sub. However, as a UK citizen, it was easier to get Dillian the clearance required. We do not comment on operational matters, but Dillian should be returned in time for the PPV event to go forward.


    Elon Musk meanwhile, refused to be drawn on rumours that the recent unscheduled SpaceX launch had an additional passenger in Povetkin. With one fighter in space and the other under the ocean, Hearn is still not sure he will be able to keep them apart but feels he's done as much as could be expected given the restrictions brought on by the Coronavirus.

    FFS do you guys ever stop complaining ! Yes its £20 but you get a mega stacked card ! Plus you will be watching The WBC interim champion face one of the hardest russian men in their 40s, the exciting Katie Taylor rematching someone she looked through previously, Jack Cullen vs Zac chelli a fight that is worth the £20 alone and Luther Clay vs Chris Kongo (11-0 chris kongo btw in only the second time he is facing an opponent with a winning record). Come on stop being tight and fork that cash over to EH for this incredible night of world class boxing.

    What do you think of this guys for $4.99 per month on fite tv 22/08 with top rank
    Eleider Alvarez vs Joe Smith Jr plus 6 undercard fights
    Or event price of $9.99 https://www.fite.tv/watch/top-rank-frampton-conlan/2p7ul/

    Then you have on 29/08 Jose Ramirez vs Viktor Postal $9.99 or included in the monthly $4.99 subscription deal

    Would you consider that value for money ?

    How does it weigh up in price compared to Eddie's events ?

    I suppose the downside for UK viewers is it starts at 01.00am, looks value for money though, your talking 3.81 a month for the subscription.

    Yeah, would depend for me if it’s replayed during the day or on-demand etc. I don’t mind not watching it live so much

    I spend 20 pounds on kebab delivery for my self. On daily/weekly basis.

    I'll be spending 20 pounds on this PPV. Because its 20 pounds, and I enjoy boxing on a no fuss, advert free, Full HD stream that doesn't lag or stutter.

    These men risk their lives for a living and for our entertainment. 20 pounds, why not. Not even the price of a pair of jeans.

    I have a "Price Rule"..


    If David Price is on it then I don't buy it, I don't care if he is first on and not even on the PPV portion, basically if he is on the card I refuse to buy it.

    I agree am spending 20 pound because it is a great night of entertainment

    it’s a fight I would love to watch rather than search about for a stream

    end of day it’s only 20 pound

    The key point there is for our entertainment ? Im not asking them to fight they have decided to fight in the hope it draws a large enough crowd, I'm not obligated to give them my money even if it is dangerous and only £20. I think Whyte vs Povetkin is a decent fight but i very rarely buy a ppv on the basis of one fight (think last time i would have would of been froch/groves 2, which actually had a cracking undercard if i remember rightly) and unfortunately this card isnt strong enough to make me want to part with my money.
