    More like Warren is not a forward thinker at all.
    Let's be for real Frampton-Warrington is not a PPV fight. Should have been a regular programing which would force Hearn to think twice but they didn't so they failed.

    Thing is, Frampton Warrington feels more like a PPV fight. Chisora feels like a guy who was past his best years ago and has been well beaten by Fury twice. Whyte has struggled badly with the likes of Parker and was destroyed by Joshua. It's not a world title fight either.

    But PPV fights are based on sales. It's not what is the best fight - it's what will sell the most, and they can be quite different things. I agree - if Warren knew Hearn had the O2 booked for December 22nd then it made no sense to schedule a PPV on the same day. Either make the Frampton fight for another date or don't stick it on PPV.

    They've been paying for PPV's for years. If hundreds of thousands are still paying for them after so many then I suggest it'll never really go away.

    Neither fight is a PPV in my eyes, I have DAZN so you know which fight I'll be watching.

    Check UK PPV history - it will eat itself eventually.

    The more frequent the better.

    Grub Frampton is raging now his PPV sales will be on a par with Hughie Fury v Paint Dry Parker

    Not a chance. Another strategy I'm surprised hasn't been tried yet is offer a "limited" amount of PPV buys available and a much higher price. That way the hardcore who buy everything will be subsidising the dropped off buyers. They're not letting this cash cow go to slaughter yet mate.

    This is on DAZN again for less than half the price- I’m not sure how sustainable this situation is long term.

    Problem is if you look at UK PPV history the figures just seem to keep going up. The two biggest PPV sales of all time in the UK were in 2017 and 2018, and some recent figures seem crazy. For example, both Haye Bellew fights did more individually than Lewis Tyson, and Whyte Parker (which I thought was an intriguing and well matched but fairly standard heavyweight fight) had more viewers than Haye Valuev which seemed massive at the time.

    Six of the ten highest PPV numbers in the history of PPV in the UK have happened in the last two years. The appetite for it actually appears to be growing. Shame for fans but since when have the people who focus on money put them first?

    Yes the biggest conman Fraud Mayweather fighting a finished Pac and Conman MGregor in an Exhibition fight along with Salesman Bellew v Conman Finished Toe really poked the PPV mugs big time yet they forget and come back again.

    Incredible scenes at PPV HQ

    As for Whyte, he doesn't gain anything from this from sporting achievement point of view as he has already beaten Chisora(some dispute the result but that's mainly from the anti matchroom bandwagon, I had Whyte winning by 2 clear points). However with Breazeale and Ortiz all taking easy opponents and with the Chisora fight being the most profitable fight of 3 then you can see why Whyte is doing it.
