    yep, but if sky are getting less from advertising revenue that will be reflected in how much they are paying frank warren for the tv rights.

    Yes, that'w what I said. The only issue is how much you get from a PPV revenue compared to how much Sky would normally pay as a flat rate for an event on standard Sky Sports.

    Saturday night boxing built up the right way could do really well. Unfortunetly the show has no headline fight.

    it will be a good turnout in attendance but not so great on pay per view buys it shouldn't be ppv because the casual fans wont pay for these fights.

    I really hope it's a big success, but it does remind me of a music promoter I used to work for who would put three similar bands who had the same type of audience on the same bill, put them in a bigger venue than they usually played and couldn't work out why it wasn't packed.

    I hope this is a success as these are the type of cards that we as fans want. I would rather there were 6 or seven of these type of cards per year than the likes of the prizefighter tournaments etc

    If the fighters and fights are marketed correctly this could be a big success, casual fans tend to shell out for massive fights with crap under cards usually so these type of bills are better value for money.

    If this is a flop it will be a real shame.

    One thing going in its favour is that it will draw fan bases from all over the UK and Ireland (if none pull out that is).

    Cleverly + Enzo (Wales)
    Macklin (Ireland)
    Gavin (Brum)
    Rhodes (Nordies)
    Barker (Cockneys)

    Then you have the fan bases of each of the other fighters also. With a decent bit of hype it could draw in a fair amount of casuals. Please, please, please be a success.

    :D

    That is about the only demographic missing.

    Tyson Fury, I'm looking your way!
