    A lot of people seem dead-set against PPV and against having to pay any more for boxing, but if Eddie Hearn and Matchroom put on the following cards in 2013 on Sky Box Office would you feel comfortable paying for one, neither or both?

    Scenario One:
    Carl Froch v Mikkel Kessler
    Darren Barker v Matthew Macklin

    Plus an undercard featuring:
    Paul McCloskey
    Kal Yafai
    Erick Ochieng
    Scott Cardle
    John Ryder


    Scenario Two:
    Kell Brook v Devon Alexander
    Tony Bellew v Chad Dawson

    Undercard featuring:
    Carl Frampton
    Lee Purdy
    Gavin Rees
    Kal Yafai



    Yes or no?

    I dont think Brook will be PPV simply cos its in America and its lot harder to sell a fighter starting at 4am. Also Alexander is a tough sell!!!

    McCloskey being on the first card makes the answer no.

    Honestly mate without sounding the **** i suggest you research the financial structure of a boxing card, because unless Eddie is prepared to run cards at a 7 figure loss there aint no way in hell them cards are getting made!

    No. Put it in a football stadium and get your money from that, sponsorship, TV advertising etc

    It all goes way up for a big fight. Its disgusting how they want us to pay £15 to watch adverts. **** them.

    PPV has to be the right fights to attract it and early hours in America doesnt do it for me anymore.

    That said hopefully i'll be able to get to both those fights anyway Froch v Kessler & Brook v Alexander.

    Only the Froch card.

    Think Bellew/Dawson would be dull.
