    Let’s just get one thing straight, neither are PPV worthy. The anti Hearn brigade are quick to point it out whilst half trying to condone Frampton v Warrington.

    No! Neither are stand alone PPVs. Wilder/Fury yes, Joshua v whoever yes, Mayweather/Pacquiao yes. Frampton v Warrington in a 12 round cure for insomnia, no thanks.

    The whole PPV argument is huge on this forum, and rightly so but i always fall back as i dont really understand how people get so mad about it.

    Whyte vs Chisora might not be ppv worthy but i have no problem in paying for it as i really want to see it..Warrington Vs Frampton is a great fight no doubt and i would love to watch it but i wouldnt pay for it...it doesn't make me mad though as i will happily read about it the next day..
    All the PPVs recently has been ridiculous there have definitely been but what i guess in saying is if people dont like it then dont buy it simple as that...doesn't make someone a 'mug' for buying ppvs just like it dont make you a mug if you dont.

    You going to get tickets for the Whyte fight Scissors? ?

    I feel mixed about this. I love boxing as a whole and the women's side of the sport will never grow without exposure. It'll just stay as sterile as it has been forever.

    On the flip side I really, really don't enjoy it because the talent pool is so poor. But then that won't increase without exposure and we're now stuck in a loop

    Haye can take care of Hearn and Whyte’s big lummox of an older brother.

    Big Don Charles can take care of McCracken (although I wouldn’t bet against slick Rob putting Don’s jaw out
    of place like Haye did.

    And Del will take care of Dillian.

    The size of the talent pool will never ever improve though mate. The number of women prepared to enter into the ring and be punched in the face is a very very small number, from that you have those who are talented enough to be a boxer in terms of athletic gifts. Minute in terms of % of female athletes.

    Its something that is never going to stand on its own two feet financially as proven by numerous attempts to make money off it, and the talent pool of active and decent level fighters will always be shockingly low.

    Frank needs to do a special offer. Buy Wilder-Fury and get Warrington-Frampton half-price.

    It's increasing for sure, IMO. Even at grass roots level. I think women make up 55% of the members of my boxing gym and you see them sparring plenty. I actually had to do a couple of rounds with one how wants to go pro recently (so she could get used to fighting someone with much longer reach; I was only using the jab as of course PaddyGarcia's right hand would have taken her soul).

    Agree it won't stand alone ultimately but it can get better for sure

    The more PPVs the better mate - greed will eventually destroy PPVs as UK history informs us.

    The mugths will eventually wake up and the bigger the rogering the quicker they do.

    One took a knee in my gym and boxing quickly went off her agenda
