Dillian Whyte has no illusions about the task that is in front of him as he faces Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title on Saturday night. But he believes he is up to it.

Try telling that to the Whyte fans praying for a miracle.
In all fairness though, it’s the home return of Fury against a formidable albeit twice defeated opponent.
The 94,000 tickets snapped in three days seem to justify a PPV buy.

Thats proof that casuals don't know sht about boxing and have money to blow. No way in hell is this fight worthy of PPV. It is not a superfight by any stretch. Leonard vs Hearns, De La Hoya vs Trinidad, Spence vs Crawford is what deserves PPV status, not this sht tomorrow.

This claim by Dillian Whyte is debatable, Tyson's most meaningful fights usually include a knockdown or end in controversy ; I guess there is some entertainment in the comedic aspects of Tyson's fraudulent career. I guess that is part of the reason that I'm watching tomorrow's parody of HW boxing.

****, we’ve had our share of horrific PPV headliners in the UK, especially in recent years. But yeah, Fury-Whyte ain’t one of them.

Yo, on the one hand, there’s no way this fight happens without it being a PPV.

On the other, I’m not about to start running covering fire for boxing’s middlemen. If it was up to me, the boxers would get paid for their actual risk, and other associated figures, such as promoters (who aren’t risking death), would get little to keep fights accessible to fans.

I don’t know what it’s costing you over there, but I know American ppv prices in particular aren’t nice. I balk at £20-25 over here.

Agreed mate. Fury and Whyte are both established PPV uk fighters. It’s not like they’re charging us £70
