    If I have nothing else on then yeah, why not? You struggle to see an event for less than £20 now a days.

    SKY must think they can make a profit...

    There should be an optional button for adverts. Hate them.

    Although I don't mind the adverts between rounds during a fight as you know when the commentators come back on you need to finish that pee sharpish :lol:

    I'll probably end up going to the fight itself, so whether it's PPV or not it doesn't make any difference to me... but it is a load of bollocks.

    I've paid for some shite boxing in the past (Khan v Solita, Fraudley v Haye, Naz v some bum who Naz ko'd after 20 seconds) but this one has crossed the line. At least they were for a version of the world title. I'm for ppv is the fight is worthy but this one definately is not. I think Sky have become too ****y after the Froch v Groves 2 at Wembley viewing figures & think that if marketed correctly as a big domestic rivalry etc, people will pay again. This is a european title level fight at best.
    Skysports costs enough anyway & sky are loosing games to BT hand over fist (the champions league next year is gone from Sky) & yet Skysports still costs the same & now Sky want a further £15 for a European level fight....NO THANKS!!!....& for the undercard, that'll just be the prospects knocking some Bulgarian taxi drivers over, not worth £15!!

    Good point. All those names you mentioned - Naz, Haye, Khan and others like Hatton, Lewis etc - had some star appeal. Even if they fought bums, you still wanted to seem em fight. You were intrigued. Bellew & Clev have never been like that. Their fights are always take it or leave it.

    the only time id pay to watch flabby Bellew is if he is fighting a Bear or on a sponsored diet for charity

    if he was chocolate he would eat himself!! the actual prospect of Bellew on PPV must be a wind up?Maybe if he had beaten Stevenson and Clev beat Kovalev then yeah they earned their right for a big PPV domestic showdown ,but as they both got totally smashed the **** out of then i just cannot and will not pay into this farce

    Will I ****.


    No. No I won't.

    Does this trump Khan-McCloskey as the shittiest PPV yet?
