Im not sure after watching so many big fights on boxnation over the last month and also on Sky sports I just dont feel like splashing out 15 quid for this. I just dont think Froch is ppv material. Hes good dont get me wrong and I enjoy his fights but I dont think either of them are super stars that warrant PPV. I think it should be on normal skysports or boxnation anyhows will you be buying the PPV?
I'm not watching what could be Kessler's final fight on a crappy stream. Yeah I think it's expensive, but boxing is obviously my no.1 hobby and the bill is shared with a couple of friends anyway. :)
You should have made the trip to the UK!
it costs you $86.1 to watch a kessler ppv?
damn...
that's dedication.

I agree it's probably not worth it. Should be a free fight.
I despise the loud mouth Froch, and mostly I don't trust fighters that get stronger as they age. At the tender age of 35, fighters have lost a lot of physical ability, not gained it. But if you don't have PED testing, why wouldn't a fighter like Froch start to cheat to help his career take off?
I don't want to give any money to an annoying ugly Brit like Froch. He talks waaaaay too much, and when he does he's always obnoxious. And taking credit away from Ward, after Ward kicked his ass, is just typical classless act from him.
What are you doing in the thread then? Froch hasn't got stronger as he's aged, he has simply fought better opposition and got himself into the limelight. He's also drug-tested regularly.
Brits hate Britain. Why do you think they flock to the US if they are lucky, and to Spain and the Gulf? Even most of the Brit celebs leave the country, as quickly as possible. It's gotta be tough, when the US appropriates all of your successful people, especially in the arts, all the successful actors, musicians, and artists are by default American. So the rest are mired in a country, everyone wants to leave.
It's the country of grey skies, bad food, and racists. Virtually every young Brit I've ever met, wants to leave for either NYC or LA. I don't blame them.
Not much point in leaving grey skies and heading to NYC, it's just as grey and even colder. The celebs head to the US to make more money, same reason as the boxers. However, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with Froch v Kessler. I think you should grow up bro, some really small-minded stuff you've posted.
Why? Froch vs Ward was on normal Sky Sports. Why is the second place play-off on PPV?
Because Froch and Kessler are exciting fighters. People pay to be entertained not to be bored. Gatti wasn't always (ever?) No.1 but people went that extra mile to see him fight.
Froch isn't that much bigger now. He's not a bigger name than Khan or Haye. Its more PPV worthy than most of their fights, granted. But I still don't see why its being overhyped by Eddie Hearn and co as if its some once in a lifetime event.
It's Hearn's job to sell the fight, he's a promoter. Anyway, he's right, it's guaranteed entertainment.

Ward is boring as **** and it was on at silly o'clock to accommodate American TV. This is prime time baby.

Oh, GTFOH.
Froch is tested after EVERY fight.
Also, Froch and Kessler could sell out a football stadium. Ward, as great as he is, can only just sell out a small venue in his home town

Its gonna sell mate trust me. Not Hatton numbers but it will sell. Loads of my friends are talking about it, some even got tickets to go see it live, and these are people with very little interest in boxing too.
Froch has tapped into the lucrative football watching, pub going, white british market. Not as much as Hatton or Haye, but its where the money is over here.
I'll be honest im not a huge fan of PPV in general, but as it is this is worth the money.

Because Froch wasnt as big back then as he is now (after destroying Bute). Kessler is a bigger name than Ward was over here. Also it was just after the Haye Harrison debacle and sky said they were no longer doing ppv's. This is their first one back.
