    No, and that question alone gives ammo to those who believe this isn't a PPV fight.

    Neither are what I would call household names here in the UK but it's a PPV event, doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it.

    Surely you build PPV fighters, build a following and then at a certain level you dip a toe in to PPV and look at the numbers.

    The fact I could walk down my street and most wouldn't have a clue who Quigg is and I wouldn't be surprised if Framptons name got a similar blank tells me British boxing fans are being taken for a ride.

    Real Household names are few and far between, Bruno, Benn, Eubank are examples of what I believe to be household names.

    Eubank and Benn went huge after their first fight on free to air ITV, a large number of Bruno's fights were on free to air TV.
