    Yes, only because I have financial interest in the fights. Otherwise I wouldn’t be.

    Shows how bad it is, landlord at my local isn’t buying it, think that’s a first. He even paid for both Warrington Frampton, Del Boy Whyte.

    Said he’d rather the punters go somewhere else than pay for something that won’t bring anymore or less in than usual.

    Numbers will be interesting, Eddie reckons it does 400k buys. Fact it’s only sold 12k should speak for itself.

    I hope it bombs, just to stick a rocket up the promoters arses that it just isn’t acceptable, on top of already expensive monthly subscriptions. I wouldn’t be arguing if it was a Saturday fight night. But it’s just genunely taking the ****.

    I will be. I know it shouldn’t be a PPV but I think it’s a decent card and will hopefully be a good nights boxing

    The facts are that far more people will watch it than the number of Sky Box Office purchasers - it is the way of the world these days with advances in technology.

    Won't be too long before the next generation laugh at those people who used to attach bin lids to their walls to watch TV.

    I think it’s a good Saturday night card. It’s not a card I’ll be parting (extra) money to watch though.

    Rivas looks in really good shape and looked relaxed while Whyte looked a little edgy to me and came in very heavy.


    I'm not as confident.. :confused:

    I believe Rivas wins. Happy to take it on the chin if he doesn’t. Whyte has power but he can be outboxed.

    Saying that, I expect Rivas to have the referee on his back throughout, much like Chisora in the last fight who had 2 points harshly taken off him. Even then Chisora was ahead on 2 scorecards and drawing on the other.

    It’s tempting because the other half is out and I don’t have any plans. I love watching a full card of boxing with a few beers. But then again I don’t think this card is worth 20 quid.

    Who are we kidding lads? 20 quid to divvy up between them. 5pm till midnight. The sport we love and there is dithering about 20 pounds. I've lost more down the back of the settee.

    You flash bugger! - I bet you wouldn’t think twice buying Heinze beans or Andrex toilet roll. Well good for you - I’m sure Mr Hearn’s very pleased with you.
